Thank you for your interest in our German Langhaarteckel vom Weberschlösschen.
Our goal and commitment is to produce healthy and sound dachshund puppies with friendly and stable temperaments. Our breeding is carried out using the breeding guidelines of the Deutsche Teckel Klub and FCI (Federation Cynologiqué Internationale), Standard #148. With these strict guidelines we can only use dogs that are suitable for breeding as outlined in the FCI.
We’ve done extensive research on bloodlines before making our selection for dogs - regarding health, a correct conformation, and sound temperament as some of the most important aspects for us - that would become our foundation of our breeding program.
I appreciate lots of great advice from my friends in Germany that have had many years of experience and that have had a successful breeding program themselves. I am very fortunate to have these people on my side because I can call them any time for advice and support. ****PLEASE note, that we are no longer getting DTK pedigrees for our puppies, see explanation for this decision on our home page*****
We are the only mini longhair teckel breeder in the USA that breeds according the FCI standard.
We started out with importing dogs from the motherland of the teckel – Germany. These dogs came out of superior champion lineage who have had many titles and come from a healthy lineage
It involves lots of trips to Germany to carefully select new stud dogs since our gene pool is limited. Since we are the only mini longhair teckel breeder in the USA that only uses FCI bloodlines we cannot exchange bloodlines with other breeders here in the USA.
We believe breeding according to DTK/FCI breeding standard is the only way to meet our goal - to produce healthy, quality puppies with stable minds and sound bodies.

Often people ask us why we only bred for one color and one coat. We decided to focus on the red longhair and try to do our best to have correct and sound puppies. We do not bred for color but as I mentioned before, for soundness in their conformation and temperament.
Even though there is so much more involved with this type with this breeding, we truly believe this is the only correct way to meet our goal - which is, to produce healthy, quality puppies with stable minds; to have teckels with the a beautiful correct conformation combined with a great performance, that is most ideal!

The Dachshund is a Hunting Dog
The Dachshund should combine functional soundness with an aesthetically pleasing appearance that avoids extremes. Hunting qualities are an important part of the complete dachshund. Hunting desire and a fine nose must be combined with intelligence, physical fitness, agility and obedience. The NATC promotes these characteristics and the friendly temperaments, in dogs that are both hunters and family companions.We ourselves do not hunt (yet!) with our dogs, but they are great hunters on their own. They constantly hunt in our backyard and when we go out on the fields, having their noses on the ground and if we would let them, bolting groundhogs out of their dens.
We do encourage every new puppy family to participate in hunting seminars and obedience training that is offered by the NATC, where they can get guidance and practice how to do blood tracking, water test, gun shyness and natural den test. BHP (Begleidhund Prüfung) which is like a good citizens dog test or basic obedience and it is called the DTK Companion Dog Test. A trained dog will be a happy dog!
