Retired Dogs
All of the dogs shown on this page are in permanent, loving homes. None of them are available. Once in a while we will have an older dog looking for a new home, and in that case, they will appear under the 'Available Adults' tab.
Sahara |

Sahara is our little blonde bombshell. Born a milk chocolate color, she has matured into a lovely shade of gold with a darker overlay. She's a master manipulator with her gorgeous doe eyes; its impossible to be mad at her. She enjoys traveling to warmer climates where the snow does not get stuck in her fur, talking like a husky, and nesting in laundry baskets full of clothes. Sahara had her first litter in 2016 and has proven to be an outstanding mother.

Bikku on the right, with her dam, Sunni, on the left
|
|
Bikku is the sweetest little girl, and is often a visitor favorite. Both of her parents, Thomas and Sunni, are finished AKC Champions, and she has a stellar pedigree. Bikku is incredibly laid back and gentle. That combined with her lovely conformation make her a wonderful addition to our program. It will be interesting to see if she carries for cream, as both of her parents do. She is named after Bikku Bitti, the highest mountain in Libya.
Maipo |
AKC Registered Name: Bright's Maipo MLD
|
Maipo is our homebred girl out of Jewel and by Korbu. She is a sweet, laid back and cuddly little girl.
Like her dam, Maipo is genetically a black and cream dapple. She is a carrier for dilute as well as piebald, but she is not actually blue (homozygous dilute). Maipo loves to cuddle, but also has a lot of prey drive. Her favorite activity is chasing the stuffed animal on a flirt pole. She is named after the Maipo volcano in the Andes.

Kīlauea |
AKC Registered Name: Bright's Kilauea MS
|
**SOLD** Our homebred boy, Kila, out of our two Champions Sunni and Thomas. This little guy has his parents' amazing temperament and conformation. He made his debut in the show ring and earned a point towards his championship his first day out. Kila is happy, confident, and just can't get enough attention. He would sit on your lap all day long if you'd let him. He is proven and is AKC DNA verified. Kila is great with other dogs, albeit more on the dominant side. He has not been exposed to cats or kids.

Taska |
AKC Registered Name: Karonika Precious Addie
|
|
|
|
|
**SOLD** This gorgeous black and cream longhair boy hails from Karonika Miniature Dachshunds in South Africa. He was imported at seven months of age. As our dogs are named after mountains, his call name is after the Taska n'Zat mountain in Morocco. Taska is an absolute lovebug. Very laid back, he's a great dog to cuddle on the couch with. Fantastic with other dogs (big and small), ignores cats, minimal exposure to kids. Taska is my velcro dog, sticks right with me and never wants to wander off. He's got a happy-go-lucky temperament and will often tug at my pant leg to remind me he's there. As far as meeting new people, Taska is more on the reserved side. He does warm up pretty quickly though, especially if people just ignore him and let him decide when he's ready to say hello. PRA clear.
Irazu |
AKC Registered Name: Golden Hills Bright Irazú Volcano MSC
|
|
Date of Birth: 11.17.2018
Coat: Smooth, carries longhair Color: Cream, carries dilute & piebald Weight: 13 lbs Pedigree 
|
|
**SOLD** Irazu is our handsome boy from Golden Hills Dachshunds out in California. He's a super sweet guy, both with people he knows and new faces. Irazu tends to be more on the submissive side with other dogs, so no worries about him not getting along well. His coat is super soft, and he loves nothing more than being on your lap to get attention. More of a sensitive guy, I'd say he is a 'worrier' and is eager to please. Irazu is crate trained and housebroken. He has not been exposed to cats or kids. PRA clear.
Zugspitze |
AKC Registered Name: Verde Hills Bright Zugspitze ML
|
|
|
|
**SOLD** Zugspitze is named after Germany's highest peak, which funny considering how tiny this guy is. Zuggie may be the smallest dog in our house, but he has a big personality! He's leash trained, crate trained, and very easy to live with. Zugs gets along great with other dogs, both big and small. He's always lived with other dachshunds, and more recently a Great Dane. He has not been exposed to cats or kids.
Zuggie has sired three litters thus far has produced some lovely puppies. He is quite generous with his brindle gene, it would seem. Zugs is PRA clear. He is available to a pet home, or to a small breeder where he would remain a house dog.

Jewel |
AKC Registered Name: CH Speechless Precious Gem of Kurzbeinig ML
|
|
|
Jewel is a finished AKC Champion, shown by Terri Lyddon. This girl is a recent addition to our little pack and is fitting in beautifully. She is a laid back dog most of the time, but loves to play with toys and doesn't mind wading into the lake now and then. With her exceptional conformation and great temperament, she should produce some stellar puppies.
Jewel was registered as 'blue and cream', but since her nose is black, she is not a true blue dilute. She does seem to have a blue hue to her, which some people call a 'faux' or 'Canadian' blue. But genetically, she is a black and cream dapple. *Jewel lives with Dionne*

Gobi was our first dachshund. We affectionately refer to his color as 'desert camo', hence the name Gobi. He loves to go on road trips, play with puppies, and be a 'dentist' for the other dogs. Gobi's preferred sleeping location is in bed, either under the covers or up on a pillow by our heads. This little guy has a lot of prey drive and thoroughly enjoys barn hunt. Gobi is a proven stud and has produced four litters thus far. Gobi is available at stud to approved outside females. **Gobi lives with Jesse**

Toa |
AKC Registered Name: Melady's Bright Krakatoa MLD
|
|
|
Our newest male hails from Melady Miniature Dachshunds in Texas, the same breeder our female Makalu is from. In fact, Toa's dam is a full sister to Makala, so Toa is Maki's nephew.

|
|
|
Pico is a smooth isabella and tan piebald dapple, and he carries for cream. He does not carry for longhair though, so every puppy he sires will be smooth. This guy is happy and confident, loves everyone he meets. Pico is a little attention sponge. Great with other female dogs, iffy with other intact males. Raised with kids and does great with them. Priced at $2,000 with Full AKC Registration.
Lajuma |

She's like a little glamour girl with her dark eyeliner and super soft coat. She is named after the Lajuma Mountain in South Africa.

Obree |
AKC Registered Name: Bright's Mount Obree Ms
|
|
You don't see dilutes with stellar conformation like this very often. With mostly Criscross lines behind her, Obree comes from Kathryn Pearman's longtime effort to produce quality dilutes. Our male CH SoKisable Look at Me is Obree's great grandsire. As most of you know, we name our dogs after mountains. The breeder of this little girl was affectionately calling her the ghost puppy, due to her color. Along that line of thought, we've named her after Ghost Mountain, which is the name given by U.S. Army servicemen in 1942 to Mount Obree. So her registered name is Bright's Mount Obree MS, or just Obree for short. **Obree lives with my sister, Bailey.
