At Mississippi Valley Dogshows, Davenport, Iowa...Yesterday and Today, Suvie was WD/BOW for 2 points each day. NOHS, too...but no placement in Group. At least he got ringtime. 😊
Congrats to Jenny Dayton who had WB/BOS.
Suvie needs a major to finish now.
Such a good boy! He enjoys the showring!
2 Standard Longhair males, Vesuvius and Johnny, passed their CAER exams with " normal" eyes.
Patellas and hearts will be tested May 15...then they will be submitted to OFA and get their CHIC numbers 😊
Today my sweet baby boy, Pollux ( now called Pierre!) went to his permanent home with Joey Bender of Louisville, Ky!
Joey had been waiting a long time for this puppy... and Pierre will have a wonderful life with Joey and his lady Rhianna.
Joey brought me a special gift from the distillery he works at. After a long and very busy day...I am going sit down and enjoy a wee taste!

Happy National Dog Day
12 year old Marty "Mi-Chers March To Freedom"
recovering from surgery. Doing Great!!
Happy National Dog Day!
2 of the Wellington X Adele's pups, Dom and Dolly, are trending SL size. The tiny guy that nearly died, Scrappy, is staying small. I'll hold him back until I decide where he should go. He's a Shaded Cream. I imagine I'll find a very good companion home for him.
Dom is gorgeous! He has so much coat, and is a big teddy bear that loves to be cuddled. I believe he would make a wonderful first show dog for someone just starting out.
Dolly(VWK'S World On Fire, SLC"), is so pretty that it makes my heart hurt. She looks very much like her sire, Wellington. If she gets to be 22-23lbs like Momma Adele, she is gonna be a stunner! She will stay here with me.
CH. MCS Wylin Away By The Fire of VWK, SL.
VWK had an excellent day at the Lakeshore Kennel Club Dogshow today.
Our Black/Cream Standard Longhair male, Wylie, was awarded a 3 point major to finish his AKC Championship title!
Congratulations to his Breeder, Cindy Ruckman, MCS Dachshunds.
Wylie will now be known as
CH. MCS Wylin Away By The Fire of VWK, SL.
To add icing to the cake...my youngster Jack..
Von Wolff's Hit The Jackpot V Spring Valley, MLC was WDR to the major! This was Jack's 2nd time in the showring, and he's diggin' it!!.
These photos I took after we got home...I'm not great at selfies. But you get the idea. Wylie pro photo and certificate pending.
What a perfect day to celebrate Sensay's AKC Championship...National DACHSHUND Day!!
***pending AKC certificate,
here is Champion MCS-VWK's Singular Sensation, SL
HAPPY NATIONAL DACHSHUND DAY!!!
We had a good time today at the Midland Michigan dogshow! Under Judge Gloria Kerr, VWK's Fiery Mountain, SL " Vesuvius...Suvie" was Winners Dog and Best Bred By for a point.
Judge Kerr crossed over the point for our "Sensay" MCS-VWKs Singular Sensation, SL and awarded her Best of Winners and Best of Opposite S*x. This was the point she needed to complete her Conformation Championship!
CONGRATS to the other winners, and thanks to Cheryl for taking Suvie in for Breed.
Professional win photo coming soon.
I can't imagine one of my dogs accomplishing this!!
On Day 66 from the 3rd AI...Adele still hadn't delivered her puppies. Dr. Hans said " Time to get them out!"... so last night between 6-7 pm he and his wonderful staff delivered **8!!** beautiful babies sired by Wellington!
Adele was pretty out of it last night, but we managed to bring her around by morning. Now she understands these little squeekers are her OWN babies, and not a varmint to be dispatched!
Milk is beginning and babies are doing fine at nursing. I'll be supplementing them for a while.
It's a wonderful conclusion to the VWK Spring puppy season! We now have Patti's 5 Smooths 3 females, 2 males, Obsidian's 3 Dapple LH females, Lily's 4 LH beauties...3 females and an amazing male, and Adele's 8 Cream carrying Shaded Red Standard Longhairs , 4 males, 4 females!
All litters have arrived and are doing well....now the sorting begins! Who stays at VWK for the next show generation, and who will be welcomed into Performance/Companion homes ?
Stay tuned here, and on the VWK Miniature page to find out.
Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful Mothers who follow my pages.
I got the best Mothers Day gift...Adele and Welli gave me the
Fast & Furious Litter
Dom, Brian, Roman, Luke, Mia, Letty, Elana, and Cipher!!
***Update***
Adele visited Dr. Jerry Hans this morning and it was revealed that she is expecting 7, maybe 8( one was hiding!) puppies within the next couple days. Doc said they aren't quite baked yet...but everything looks good. Stay tuned for this exciting arrival!!
Will be having Puppies soon!

A new adventure into the “Biggies”!
After decades of raising only Miniature dachshunds, I have decided to branch out and add Standard-sized dachshunds to the VWK line up! More options for everybody!
So, if you like your dachshunds in the 16-25lb size range, this is the place for you!
The Standards hold our “breed type”, in other words, what a dachshund is supposed to look like, move like, hunt like and react like. Miniatures have to strive to be what Standards already are in structure and temperament. By including Standards in the VWK breeding programs, we can improve our Miniatures’ type, and perhaps create some very nice show prospect, “small” Standards at the same time!
