The Matriarch of our family and kennel, Int. Ch. La Traviata-Julia-von Himmelstor or better known as "Daisy" suddenly passed away on the morning of 14 February 2010. This was a very bad day for me as she was my "first-ever" dachshund. I still remember her when I first spotted her at the Himmelstor Kennels, a bundle of fur with a big heart. Daisy was also my very, very special friend that no matter how bad of a day you had would always meet you at the door with a bunch of kisses. Daisy, I will dearly miss you my old friend.  Daisy 14 October 1998 - 14 February 2010.

Well today I put the first pictures of Lulu and her two silver dapple girls. That's them on the home page and uncle Snickers is in the back peeking around to see what was going on. Olivia and her boy are doing great. He has his eyes open now and walks around the kennel. I will post pictures of him in the next few weeks.

How much are your puppies?

Normally our puppies start out at €500 and go up from there. We take several factors into consideration when setting a price on a puppy. First and foremost is the expected conformation of the puppy. Conformation means meeting the standards of the breed standard as set by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Next is the bloodline and gender and type of coat and color.

Can you deliver to our home?

No. We normally require you to come visit us and meet the parents and puppy. The only exception is if you live outside of Germany then we make arrangements to ship via Pet Air out of Frankfurt at your cost. If  we have to ship by Pet Air we will obtain a cost estimate from Pet Air and provide this to you. We will need the money before the puppy is shipped.

Do your puppies come with a health guarantee ?

Our guarantee covers the first 30 days. We also guarantee that our dogs are free of any known genetic-defects. Should your puppy become sick within the first 30 days after you bring him/her home take it to your local vet and have the puppy checked out. And then notify us of the outcome and for further directions. If it is a serious life-threatening illness then we reserve the right to have you take the puppy to our family vet for confirmation.

What if I can't keep the puppy?

We are firm believers of "Murphy's Law" if something can go wrong it will and at a time and place you don't expect it. That's life. We strive very hard at finding the right and forever home for our puppies. This is one reason we have a vetting process (the interview) of prospective owners. If you ever find yourself in a position that prohibits you from keeping your dackel then we prefer to be notified as soon as possible. We assist you in the re-placement of your puppy. And under certain conditions we will take the puppy back under an agreement that is suitable for you, the puppy and the breeder.  For more information please call or email us.

When can I take the puppy home?

  A puppy must be 8 weeks of age at the earliest and under certain circumstances we may have to keep the puppy a bit longer. A puppy is constantly learning from its mom and the pack (other dogs) and taking it away too early may result in the animal having issues with its social skills.

What food do the puppies eat ?

Our puppies eat Hills Science Diet (Puppy Small Bites).  We do not recommend that you continue to feed the puppy this past four months. It is very "rich" and will cause your puppy to be over weight. When you are ready to switch the food to another brand gradually mix the newer brand with the Hills and each time reducing the Hills. This will help the puppy to adjust to the change in diet.
