To our New lildoxis Home
If you are inquiring about a pet puppy from one of our litters, please understand we breed first and foremost to produce the next generation of show puppies. Show homes (including ours) are very important, however theyMust be first and foremost a pet home. Because so many people want a pale English Cream or Red Smooth female, they can be more difficult to supply. Not that they aren't available, just understand they are often in the greatest demand. This being said, you may want to consider a boy (male), as they make equally fantastic (better in my opinion) pets after they are neutered. If you find you must have a female, you should consider placing a pre-born deposit on a female puppy. Please keep in mind that our lildoxis will remain here until at least 12 weeks of age.
Regarding Price: The dachshund is a breed that typically lives 12-20 years, so excluding any unforeseen illnesses, you are buying a lildoxis companion that will be enjoyed for many wonderful years to come. Because of the investement we put into our dogs to ensure their good health, we are not interested in selling them for reduced prices. You may find puppies cheaper elsewhere, but honestly, if you are looking for a cheaper puppy and are not interested in our health/temperament guarantees,we suggest you look elsewhere.
That being said, occasionally there are older puppies we've been holding onto for a variety of reasons. If/when we decide to sell those puppyies (young adults), it is often at a special price.

Breeding AKC Champion Dachshunds for Soundness of Mind and Body,
Type and Structure Since 1995
Many people do not like the emphasis placed on color, but we happen to have fallen head over heals with the excellence of the English Cream miniature dachshund. The information contained within this page is simply information, not meant to place a special or rare status on color, but rather to educate puppy people on the temperament and/or qualities of true type English Cream miniature dachshunds. Our primary focus in selecting a miniature dachshund for our breeding program is their conformation and temperament. That is why we take great effort in selecting our dams and sires, who are the future of our Vom Daxi Haus lildoxis. Color can always be bred into a line, however you must first start with excellent conformation!
CONFORMATION before COLOR!
A true type English Cream miniature dachshund ranges anywhere in color from golden to a yellowish /strawberry blonde. They should always have black noses, with the exception of the Chocolate and Creams where it is acceptable to have a diluted nose, as with the Chocolate miniature dachshunds. They can have black or self-colored nails and should have exquisite black lines around their eye rims, except again for the Chocolates. Most creams are of English descent, hence the term "English Cream Dachshund". True English creams trace back to British imports, which are shown on our pedigrees. Cream is a recessive gene, so both parents must have or carry the cream gene to produce Cream pups.
The term American Cream has come to describe cream dachshunds which are not of English descent, but appear to be cream. These dogs may or may not be true English Creams (double ressesive). Some dogs labeled as cream may be recessive red or "e-red" dachshunds which darken with age. True Cream dachshunds (English Creams) get lighter as they age. Check with the breeder of the puppy when in doubt. If a dachshund has these characteristics, they may be a true English Cream. As previously stated, the recessive cream factor in the English Cream dachshunds is referred to as a "Double Chinchilla Factor" (also a "double recessive" or "double dilute" or "EE"). The chinchilla factor only acts on the red color. It does not act on the black or the Chocolate. That is why we often see Black/Cream dachshunds and Chocolate /Cream dachshunds. Dogs are referred to as American Cream dachshunds due to a different dilution factor than the chinchilla-factor. Many believe it is the blue dilution factor that affects black (for blue) and chocolate (for isabella) and that this dilution will also affect the base coat of red. Please understand we are a show breeding home, and our first goal is always to produce a sound miniature dachshund worthy of the show ring. Our puppies will be graded at 12 weeks of age. Those that don't measure up to our ideal for show are offered to a pet home with a strict spay/neuter agreement. This means you will not receive AKC papers until we receive confirmation that your new lildoxis has been spayed or neutered. Those puppies we believe to be of top show quality will be sold to breeders who are show homes and agree to our full AKC terms regarding breeding. We ask you to understand we are sensitively aware of the cost/time/efforts associated with showing your English Cream miniature dachshund to its finished AKC title as we show regularly ourselves. With this being said, we offer your family an AKC champion gift!!. We appreciate your desire to exceed what we have already accomplished with our lildoxis!!!!!
Sincerely, the Jacqulyn Waggoner family |
