Upcoming Litters to Whet Your Appetite!
With this list to work from, if you're looking for a puppy with a particular gender, coat, color and pattern, email (flickennel@hotmail.com) or call and ask to place a deposit on one from a certain litter to hold it, even before it's born. If that particular type of pup does not appear in that litter, your deposit can be transferred to a different pup, or held for a future pup in a different litter. We do not refund deposits!
Dachshunds come in more combinations of size, coat, color, and pattern than any other breed of dog.
Their sizes are: miniature (up to 11 lbs. at 1 year old or older), and standard (over 11 lbs - the breed standard says 16-32 lbs, leaving the unofficial "tweenie" range between 11 and 16 as "small standard"). For the show ring, there are only two official sizes: mini - 11 lbs and under, and standard - 16 lbs and up. (We believe, there is no "bad" size for a dachshund - they're the greatest dogs in the world!)
Coats are: smooth, longhair, and wirehair.
Colors include: red, cream, wheaten; solid black, black & tan, solid blue, blue & tan; solid chocolate, chocolate & tan, isabella (fawn) & tan, solid isabella; wild boar. The "dilute" colors are the creams & wheaten, blue, and isabella (fawn).
Patterns are: brindle, dapple, double-dapple, piebald and sable, or in combinations such as brindle/dapple, brindle/piebald, brindle/sable, brindle/dapple/piebald, dapple/piebald, sable/piebald, etc. (AKC only recognizes the combination of brindle/piebald, and now they are "excusing" piebalds from their shows!)
Brindle is a tiger-striping of black on red, or base-color on the tan points in any of the other colors (black, chocolate, blue, isabella, etc.) - the tan almost completely disappears on these when the dog is brindle.
Dapple can appear as lighter or darker spots on the base color of any colored dog. It is also referred to as "merle" in other breeds, and can be swirls, patches, distinct dots, or large areas of "different" coloring as in a reverse-dapple. No two dappled dogs are identical - like snowflakes - but the ONLY time you will normally see a blue-eyed dachshund is one that is dappled, because the dapple gene affected one eye or both, and it may show partially blue, or entirely. It does not harm the eye any more than a blue-eyed human is harmed by their eyes' color.
Double-dapple occurs when both parents are dappled, and the puppy receives two pattern genes for dapple. It can cause partially or completely deaf and/or blind dogs, but they may also be just fine. We have a double-dapple sire (Casper) who is perfect and produces perfect puppies!
Piebald is any base-color plus white, and the white can cover nearly all of the dog, or just a small area, producing the appearance of a pinto or paint horse. A completely white adult dachshund is EXTREMELY RARE; most white babies turn some shade of cream as they grow up.
Sable is only found in red dogs, because it involves having both red and black on each hair-shaft. It won't show on a black dog, and black is NEVER found on chocolate, isabella, or blue. Wild boar is completely different from the other colors - it involves having three or more colors randomly placed on each hair-shaft, in distinct zones, producing an all-over grizzled coloration. Read the Breed Standard for more information.
Okay - here are the expected upcoming litters, if they've all "taken" as they should!
(For those that have been born and are still listed here, their litter pages will be posted in the near future. These listings will be removed as their pages are built. Not all "expected" characteristics will appear in each litter - these are just the expected options! Sometimes we get more - or less - than we bargained for!) If a litter posting disappears without mention of any pups, the mother has usually been found to have been "not actually pregnant." DUE DATES ARE APPROXIMATIONS! We breed over a span of several days, depending on whether the female goes out of heat or not after being bred, and that gives a lot of variation to when she's actually going to give birth. Don't try to hold us to a certain due-date - it happens when it happens!
PHOTOS: The scheme is Left, mom; center, pups (if we get time to take a litter photo when they're born!); right, dad. In the litter description, it's always listed "Mom's name & Dad's name," so the pictures show them in that order, too.

Annie Oakley & Ringo - BORN 2-1-12, READY 3-28-12. Annie-O, as we call her, is a longhaired dilute-red dapple piebald who doesn't show her dapples (but we still have her baby pictures that do!). Ringo is our solid-black smoothie who gives us solid black pups along with the usual assortment of reds when bred to reds, and chocolates when bred to chocolates - his father was a Champion red wirehair, while his mom was black - both were Cedar Hills dachshunds from excellent bloodlines, and there must be chocolate in the pedigree somewhere! We're looking for smooth pups this time, and we HAVE solid black and black dapple, plus red and red dapple.
Peaches & Piper - BORN 2-2-12, READY 3-29-12. Beautiful Peaches is an extreme-white piebald longhair with red spots. Piper is a longhaired black & tan extreme-white piebald with such heavy ticking that he looks like a roan horse. We've put these two together before, and they always make wonderful ex-white pie pups with terrific dispositions - either red or black & tan, with or without the ticking spots, and always longhairs.
Pie Pie & Max - BORN 1-30, READY 3-26. Pie Pie is a very pretty little extreme-white red piebald (at least 75% white, 25% red), while Max is our great chocolate & tan piebald. He's a smoothie, she's a longhair with a smooth father and longhaired mother, so we'll have a mixture of longs and shorthairs, but they ARE all piebald!
3 BOYS - 2 RED & 1 CHOCOLATE PIEBALDS, AS PROMISED!
2 GIRLS, 3 BOYS, ALL BLACK & TAN LONGHAIRED PIEBALD, ALL WIENDERFUL!
