AKC Breeder of Merit · South Jersey
Breeder of top-ranked miniature longhaired dachshunds in AKC conformation, agility and obedience.
Recognizing that all puppies are cute, we have chosen to feature our adult dogs on our home page, unlike other breeders. Before you purchase that “adorable” puppy, check out the parents and extended family to see how they have matured. Our puppies are not only cute and loveable, but they develop into extraordinary adult dogs, both in appearance and in disposition. This is what sets us apart from the rest.~ Harlequin Dachshunds
About Harlequin Dachshunds
We have been breeding beautiful, healthy AKC miniature longhaired dachshunds, exclusively, for over 20 years. We strive to produce the best quality doxies in conformation, intelligence, and temperament. Our dogs are outgoing and eager to please, as they have been socialized in a home environment from the earliest days of their lives. Visit the following pages to see for yourself how our dogs have excelled not only in AKC Conformation events, but in performance competitions including Agility and Obedience, as well.
The purpose of this website is not only to showcase our puppies and adult dogs, but to provide educational information on dachshunds and the versatility of this breed. Dachshunds can be exceptional house pets but, as they’re intelligent and love to learn, they can successfully compete in a range of performance activities. On these pages, we showcase our Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds, many of whom have ranked in the top ten dachshunds in the country in conformation, agility, and obedience. Read our Blog for more information on training and activities for you and your dachshund.
