About Our Dogs

Example of our puppies at Belgate Dacshunds

Three long-haired boys exemplifying Belgate type.

Since we are a show kennel, every breeding is carefully planned with the hopes of creating show winners that adhere as closely as possible to the Standard of Perfection as set down by the Dachshund Club of America. All litters are carefully planned, both for beauty and for temperament and all are lovingly home-raised in the kitchen. All puppies are handled daily. When they are old enough, they are given appropriate toys and allowed to explore, under supervision, to help develop outgoing, happy personalities. They have had their vaccinations started and have been wormed appropriately.

Puppies that are not kept for show and breeding are offered to qualified pet homes on a spay/neuter contract. All puppies come with a health and satisfaction guarantee.

During the trial period the puppy should be examined by a veterinarian and if the buyer is not satisfied at that time, the puppy may be returned for a full refund or replacement, provided it has not been injured or abused. This guarantee includes death from a virus or other health conditions determined to have been present at the time the puppy was brought to its new home, or within one week of that time. A veterinarian's statement is required for refund or replacement. During this time, if you incur any other veterinary expenses, you will be responsible for those expenses.

We are available anytime for questions and are always glad to see our "babies" anytime you are in the area. Photos are also very welcome! We know you have purchased many years of devotion and companionship and hope you will enjoy your new puppy and will make it a part of your family.
