How It All Began
It all started out it 2011 when My Husband and I owned a local feed store in Boring Oregon. One rainy day my kids showed up for work and there was a plastic trash bag on the deck, they went to push it off and it started to move. My daughter opened it up and inside was a little red wiener. (Dachshund) My daughter thought that we needed to keep her, because who in their right mind puts a dog in a plastic trash bag and leaves them? So that was our first Dachshund her name was Addie and she was the best snuggle bunny, sweetest dispositioned dog ever and one heck of a ratter.
One day she quit eating and drinking and when we got her to the vet we found out she was riddled with Cancer and she died at the vets. That was one of the saddest days of my life. I immediately went into a panic wondering how I was going to tell my 5 year old Granddaughter that her beloved dog was gone, so I went on a mission, after 6 weeks. 5 states and every newspaper with no avail I happened to find a breeder that had one red smooth female. I called her and bought her sight un- seen , luckily she lived 30 minutes from me and that is how we ended up with Adalyde "Addie #2". (Addie reincarnated)
From there I was hooked, so we got Bella a Red Piebald LH and Buster Brown a Black and Tan Smooth Coat. They live with our Cane Corso's and we are one big Happy Family living on an 8 acres farm just about 26 miles from MT. Hood on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon.

History
Additional Information
“Dachshund” is a German word meaning “badger dog,” and the breed’s German history goes back some 600 years. And, as the breed name suggests, the Dachshund was developed to enthusiastically dig his way into a badger den and dispatch its occupant. The Dachshund’s long, low body was custom-made for this dirty subterranean work.
For a dog of any size, a badger is a formidable adversary, weighing anywhere from 25 to 40 pounds, with razor-sharp teeth and claws. The cleverness, courage, perseverance, and strength that are hallmarks of today’s Dachshund were first bred into his long-ago ancestors to best equip them for battling a deadly foe. The little dog’s surprisingly loud, houndy bark is also a throwback to his working roots: It allowed the Dachshund’s above-ground human hunting partner to mark his hound’s underground location.
In addition to the breed’s short, smooth coat, selective breeding produced types with wire coats for work in thorny brier patches, and long coats for cold climates. Dachshunds of various sizes were bred to work on different kinds of quarry. Packs of Dachshunds, according to breed authorities, were often used on wild boar. By the late 1800s, the process of standardizing the breed according to size, coat, and color varieties was well underway.
The Dachshund has long been a national symbol of Germany, so closely associated with the fatherland that during World War I American fanciers took to calling them Liberty Hounds due to anti-German sentiment. Admitted to the AKC Stud Book in 1885, their popularity in America was immediate and enduring.
