Abc Doxie Kennel
Did someone say Dachshund????
Abc Doxie's
Welcome to ABC Doxie's home on the web. Allow me to introduce myself and my crew. My name is Rene' Clore. Myself, hubby and our 4 skin son's reside in McCordsville, Indiana. I am a school bus driver so have my summer's off which we enjoy spending lots of time with the dogs going to rally's, festival's, races, doing field trail and 4-H.
My passion started close to 7 years ago when my twin's were born and I was in search of a small breed dog. I was leaning towards a yorkie and my husband is the one who geared me towards the dachshund breed. Which now I think he regrets..haha! I knew nothing about the breed at the time so started doing some research and found a breeder in Pa who had a litter of smooth dachshund's and fell in love with Chloe our black/tan dapple smooth girl. It didn't take long and I was hooked and decided to try my hand at breeding.
Chloe has since retired and has been a fantastic mother for us here and is now our little sofa rat. She loves to mother all the pup's and boss everyone around and has earned that title here.
I now only raise "Long Hair" dacshund's in the following color's and pattern's, Shaded reds, ee reds, American Cream's, black/tans, blue, chocolate/tan's, English Cream's in patterns of dapple and piebald. We have minis and standards sizes. All of our dogs are in the house with us. We do not have outdoor kennel's, We have indoor kennel's which my husband calls "houses" for the dogs to sleep, eat and stay while we are away other than that they are with us. We do have a nice sized fenced in back yard with a section for the dogs to run, romp, play and do what dachshund's do DIG!
All of our dogs are DNA tested, AKC reg, micro-chipped and current on all vet care. We take great pride in raising happy healthy, very well socialized dachshund's.
Our females are pampered the entire time they are expecting. We set up kennel's in our living room so the girl's can be apart of the family and come in/out as they wish. When the puppies are approx 4 weeks old we set up a puppy pen in our living room so they are the center of attention and handled often.
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog" or " that's a lot of money for just a dog" They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the cost involved for "just a dog". Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog". Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog" but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog" and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog" then you will probably understand phrases like " just a friend", just a sunrise", or just a promise". "Just a dog" brings my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "Just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and people like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human". So next time you hear the phrase "just a dog" just smile, becuase they "just don't understand"
Feel free to give us a call or send a email anytime I am always up to talk dachshund shop. If in the area feel free to give us a buzz the fur kid's are always up for a good belly rub. Come by and say Hi.

ALL pet store dogs are either "produced" in puppy mills or by unethical breeders. Do not be fooled by pet stores that claim to get their puppies from "local breeders." All puppy mills are owned by breeders. Pet stores will claim that they get their puppies from breeders and will just casually omit the fact that these breeders run puppy mills. Please don't feel compelled to buy a puppy from a pet store because it is suffering. However bad its situation is, it's parents back in the puppy mill are so much worse off! If more people would stop buying dogs from pet stores, then pet stores would not find pet sales profitable and would stop buying dogs from puppy mills. Therefore, the continuing cycle of suffering would end. However, it's not the fault of an uninformed individual who buys from a pet shop. You, however, have been informed, so please don't walk into another pet store that sells animals. Several pet stores sell supplies and not animals. There are also numerous mail-order catalogs that sell pet products. (Note: Purebred cats and other animals are also produced in animal mills and by unscrupulous breeders.) If you still feel the need to "rescue" a pet store puppy, perhaps you should consider rescuing its mother instead! Purebred dachshunds rescued from puppy mills are often available for adoption.
