TIINY TAILS RANCH - ABOUT US
ABOUT ME: My name is Eva and I've been breeding dachshunds since 2001. I fell in love with this breed when I adopted a little smooth red female named Autumn while living in Las Vegas, NV. I was looking for a small dog that didn't take a lot of care. Oscar and Jesse were the next to join my family, both smooths as well. Ruby and Ozzie were my first longhairs, purchased in California. Ruby had her first litter of puppies in Nevada when our kennel was known as "Blue Sky Kennels". My small breeding program is focused on our dogs, the time being right for a litter, the dogs being ready to have pups and the economy being appropriate for us to have a litter. Since we began this journey, we have never had more than 2 litters in one year. Our puppies are hand raised from the moment they're born. We take great care to give them lots of love and affection as well as proper conditioning to ensure you get a happy, healthy, well-adjusted puppy. We are not back-yard breeders, and our operation is not a puppy mill. We don't support puppy mills by buying breeding stock from them. We don't sell to brokers or pet shops. All of our dogs are indoor pets who, in good weather, come and go as they please to their outdoor dog run. Their main area inside is also our entertainment area, so we spend a lot of time with them. Our dogs are bred for good health, great dispositions and conformation which we believe are the most important things for an owner. All of our dogs are AKC registered, and we have some nice champion lines in their backgrounds. My lines now have dogs from the west coast, east coast and the beautiful South.
Prices, Etc. As of 2018, Genetic Health Testing on sires and dams is an integral part of our program.
A prospective buyer should be prepared to complete a "Puppy Application", to help confirm that a puppy will be going to a responsible and healthy environment. If I don't know you, references will be required. Dogs that are close to or meet the AKC standard can be considered as breeding or show quality and can be sold with full AKC registration. Full AKC or breeding rights will be given on a limited basis. Although the companion quality puppies (sold on a limited AKC registration or spay/neuter contract) may not meet the "perfect" expectations of the AKC standard, they will far outnumber the dachshunds that do meet that standard and will make especially desirable, loving and sweet pets. As of October, 2023 all pet puppies are $1200 no matter coat, color, pattern or gender. Proof of spay/neuter will grant you a $100 refund. DNA testing will have been completed on Tiny Tails Ranch dam/sire. Great health and conformation will be expected. Deposits of $300.00 to hold puppies will be taken when the pups are 3 weeks old. Deposits are non-refundable. If you are a breeder looking for full AKC registration/breeding rights, we will be particularly diligent about securing all information regarding your breeding program. Please ask about full AKC registration pricing. Final payments on a puppy must be paid by US Postal Service money order or cash and must be paid day of puppy pick-up. Tiny Tails Ranch puppies will be ready to go to new owners at 10-12 weeks of age, depending on the puppy. As the breeder, I reserve the right to wait until a 12-week evaluation to choose my puppy if I am keeping one back. Pups will have had their veterinary treatment appropriate to their age, i.e., de-worming, vaccinations, and a health check-up. Puppies will come with a supply of high-quality puppy food to get them through the first week with their new owners, puppy treats, and their favorite play toy. All litters will be registered with the AKC. New owners will get the dog's AKC papers when appropriate and a two-year written health guarantee via signed contract against life threatening genetic defects. A formal sales contract will be signed by the buyer and breeder that outlines the agreement between the breeder and buyer, notes deposit and final payment information, as well as breeder's and buyer's responsibilities. It might sound like a lot of red tape, but being a responsible breeder assures a wonderful, healthy and happy match for buyers and puppies alike.
As always, I will be available anytime to answer questions and provide guidance to you as your puppy grows throughout its adulthood.
Please take a moment to review the blank contract we use below and let me know if you have any questions.
Please email any time or call if you have questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Eva
