Dachshund Breeder Thoughts and Updates

Thank you so much for spending a little time with us here at Ponderosa Pups.  You have no idea how much that means to us.

This is our personal dachshund breeder diary of sorts..and a new way for our visitors to get to know us.
I also hope this will help inform you of the new pages and updates to our site and to our breeding program.
As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us.

 I have big news for our kennel!  We have added two new males to our family.
Tigre and Levi
Both of these kids carry heavy for English and Chocolate and Cream.  They have wonderful pedigrees, too. We are already enjoying them so much.  Tigre is the biggest baby.  I can't tell you how quickly we fell in love with him!  He is crazy beautiful, too.  An English Cream Brindle (longhaired, of coarse).  Everyone know's their my favorite.  Then, not to leave out Levi.  I really wasn't sure if it was time to add another red longhaired male to our family, but couldn't resist, with all he has to offer.  He is very friendly, but it is taking him a little longer to warm up to Dad.  I will share pics of them soon.

UPDATE to last post.
Today I received an email from my vet supply company making big brags for the first generic drug to hit the market that will replace frontline.  I am very SAD to announce that I did a little research and there was only a difference of ONE DOLLAR in the prices of the two. I'm not impressed.
On a personal note.. my computer monitor finally "rests in peace"!  It has been giving me fits for weeks.  I really don't take change very well.
The new one is here..and as soon as I get used to it I will get back into the swing of things and finish the new pages for the blog section.  
Have a very happy and safe Memorial Day!

 BIG NEWS for pet meds this week!
Kroger has announced that they will now carry pet meds in their pharmacy.  So you can fill your pets' prescriptions at Kroger, too!
AND.. they will have a lot of them on the $4 prescription plan!
I don't know if you have already heard this or not, but long term flea and tick top on treatments hit OVER THE COUNTER this past week.  For the longest time, Frontline, Advantix, etc. held a patent on these and you had to buy them at your vets office for great big prices.  Now, the prices have dropped like crazy and we can purchase really good flea and tick meds at local stores like Wal-Mart and Tractor Supply.  Just watch you instructions, folks.

I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote.  Needless to say, things are always really busy in the spring for all of us. On a personal note, I am working to change some of the pages on the site.  Adjusting and adding information.  It's a never ending project.  Just when I think I have a page finished, I think of ten different things to change or add.  The truth be told, I really enjoy it.  Our breeding program took some major adjustments, too.  We have the pleasure of adding two new wirehaired dachshunds to our family these past few weeks.  I know that wires are not for everybody, but we just love them.  They are so sweet and funny.  We have a new cream wire girl that is named Buttons.  Very sweet..and a pedigree that almost made me fall out of my chair..lol!  Of coarse, it is our new blue and tan wirehaired male that will forever hold my heart.  I've named him Tripp.. for two reasons.  His ears are so long that he almost trips over them! AND.. he is such a trip to look at!  This was my first opportunity to see a blue and tan dapple wirehaired dachshund.  The breeders in Louisiana do things with the dilute color that you won't find anywhere else.  They really take chances that most of us would never think of.  I think it's cool.
Anyway, I know we don't have very many puppies posted at the moment, but believe me..it's going to be a great summer!
Our nursery (a.k.a. living room..lol) is full of adorable little babies.  I can't wait to show them off this summer.

Today was a big day at our home.  We had company from West Virginia...twice!  Jacqui came in this morning to get her cream smooth that she has named Piper.  Wonderful person.. we really got to know each other while she was waiting to make her trip. I was almost as excited as she was.  Then this evening, Samantha and her friend came down to get their puppy.  SWEET doesn't even describe them.. they were so much fun.  Their friend Abbie bought a puppy from us last year.. I am so fortunate to have such wonderful customers.  
It was also PICTURE day.  I finally got new pics taken for the site.. can't wait for everyone to see them.  
I know I say this all the time..but, these are some of the best puppies, ever! lol  I'm so proud of them.
AND..the biggest news of our big day.. we had two litters of adorable puppies!!
Just awesome.. blue and tan dapples in one litter and.. red, black and tan, chocolate and tan in another.
All smooth coat.. I think they are so cute.   Having puppies is a very exciting..and tiring adventure.  Especially when you have two litters on the same day.  I'm so tired I can't think..lol

SPRING!  I love spring!  It has been a brutal and long winter and I am so happy it's over.  Of coarse, I don't know about you all, but Spring is such a busy time here.  So many things to get done.  Probably because we have all been stuck in the house all winter and would use any excuse to get some sunshine.  Right?  It's an awesome time to get out and get our places cleaned up and ready for summer. Projects.. gotta love projects! Ha! I hope you all are enjoying it, too!

Just finished the new page on Cream Dachshunds.  It was a little harder than some of my other pages.  A little harder to research, anyway.  I contacted several cream dachshund breeders from England..and got no response.  I was wondering if they would know a little more background or history on the Cream Dachshund that we so lovingly call the English Cream.  Oh, well.. I did the best I could.  It's a constant reminder to why people don't feel comfortable contacting most Dachshund Breeders.  You can't believe how hard I try to make this site a comfortable place to visit.  I really received an email this week from a very nice lady that said "Your website made me feel so at home".  It gave me a lump in my throat.. it meant that much to me. I am and always will be a country girl that wants to make everyone feel at home.  You know the type.."would you like a cup of coffee?" "Have you eat yet?"  LOL  It's funny..cause it's true.  
Here is the link for our new page

Hope you all have a great weekend!
