All my puppies are raise in my home with loving , nurturing surroundings. They are taken and veterinarian checked at one day old, again at four weeks and the start their shots at 6 weeks. They are AKC or either CKC registered. I bred Miniature Schnauzers for 35 years and then retired. 5 years ago I got a Miniature Dachshund as a companion and that was all she wrote. This is my first litter and if I say so myself, they are beautiful. The mother and father are both solid black smooth coats.
