Recognizing that all puppies are cute, we chose to feature our adult dogs on our home page, unlike other breeders, so you could see how our puppies matured. They were not only cute and loveable, but they developed into extraordinary adult dogs, both in appearance and in disposition. This is what set us apart from the rest.~ Harlequin Dachshunds

What people say
“Karen is an awesome trainer. I bought two puppies from her and she inspired me to train them in obedience… It’s a thrill to be successful at an obedience trial!”
“Karen and I train at the same facility so I have had the opportunity to watch her train several of her dogs. Patience, perseverance and success is evident in her training style. I admire the connection that Karen has with her dogs.”
“You are very upbeat with your dogs while training and in the ring. I don’t think that your dogs think it is work but having fun and wanting to please you.”
