3 Playful Kennels

Why do we breed you ask?We breed to help improve the breed’s health, temperament, and longevity. Or at least those are our goals. Even though we haven’t been breeding long (2007), these are our number one goals, and they always will be. We’re hoping to breed semi or full-show quality dogs with many champions in their lines; we just don’t want to compromise their health to do it. Currently, we are just breeding gorgeous dogs with great health and temperaments; longevity right now is average, but we’re working on it ^_^.

All of my dogs are raised on good quality food. Don’t just get a dog; buy some dog food, and there you go. Please watch what you give your new puppy or dog. Miniature Dachshunds have different dietary needs than a Chihuahua or Great Dane. Dachshunds should NOT be free-fed unless you know how to slowly wean them onto it. Otherwise, they have a habit of overeating; overeating means the dog is overweight, and being overweight implies a lot of health issues. All Dogs here, though, are raised with free feeding, so if that is the route you want, we just made it easier.With Dachshunds, you must ensure you know what you’re feeding them. NO Ol’ Roy, Alpo, Atta Boy, or anything like that; it’s like dumping a trash can over and saying pig out or raising your kid on nothing but candy. Feed your dogs healthy foods like Orijen, Instinct, Canidae, Nutro, Royal Canin, or even Pure Balance, and they will live longer healthier lives, and you’ll be grateful you went with the good foods over the cheaper ones.

If the Puppy/Dog is injured or sick it must be seen by a vet, you can never take chances about whether or not it’s just something they’ll get over, it’s always best to seek good veterinary care to make sure everything is ok, as well as having regular check ups at least every 6-12 months as well as getting regular immunizations done.
