Meet the Parents of our January 2025 Puppies:
Frankie & Gus-Gus
Gus-Gus and Frankie met in September 2023 and became the best of friends (turned into a love story) after a few tail wags and playful barks and chasing each other around.
​
Both parents are originally from Canada. Gus relocated to Bermuda in 2022, and Frankie arrived in late 2024.
Gus-Gus and Frankie love to go on couples walks on the Railway Trail. And of course, like all Dachshunds, Gus and Frankie spend a lot of quality time suntanning on the veranda.
Gus-Gus as a Pup
Born on July 7th, 2021.
A rare Dapple with his Chocolate and Silver coat. Gus's eyes were a deep blue, that soon changed to green.
As an adult - his eyes have matured into a beautiful light-brown.
He just kept growing...
Gus came from a litter of 3. His Mom is a Dabble (8.5 lbs) and his Dad, Chocolate & Tan (9 lbs). Gus's brothers are small in size - both Chocolate & Tan. Gus just kept growing. Gus's brothers now at full adult weight are 8 lbs and 9 lbs and reside in Canada. Gus is a bit more than a teenie weenie clocking in at 16 lbs of pure Doxie muscle! Gus' build is strong and athletic.
Gus at 6-months
Gus as a growing Dapple always had something to say. He is quite vocal when he wants something. And he will tell you exactly what it is he wants, too!
Some may say he is "bossy", but, we prefer to say he is just a man who knows what he wants in life!
Gus at 1-Year
Not a day goes by that Gus isn't getting into mischief.
He is active, fun-loving, affectionate, loves his food and of course an abundance of treats. Most of all, Gus loves a good nap, especially if he can cuddle up with Cindy, or his human Mommy.
Gus Gone-Fish'n and Fully Grown
Dachshunds are known to "hate" getting wet, and with their thick paws, most aren't keen on swimming, but Gus is always up for a fishing trip on the water in Somerset.
Frankie as a puppy
Born on July 2nd, 2021, Frankie was in a litter of 8 other puppies! All black & tan in colour, playful and cute!
​
Playful and mischevious
For some reason, Frankie took a liking to boxes, big or small, she would find them and carry them around with her. Any that she could jump onto the couch with, she would pick them up and turn them into chew toys!
A waterdog at the best of times!
She loves to be outside! Walking trails and beaches, and boat rides!
A girl into fashion
Frankie is always up to trying on new accessories! Especially hats!
Professional runner!
A secret about Dachshunds and keeping their backs strong and healthy is to have them run at full speed at least once a day. Frankie is fast! She loves long walks on hiking trails, but she loves to go full speed, too!
Going for a dip!
Dachshund's aren't particularly a "water-dog breed",. In fact, quite the opposite - they don't even like going outside when it is raining! However, Frankie will jump in a lake or the ocean any chance she gets!
The happy couple.
The history stated above that is linked to these Dachshund bloodlines as shown are true and accurate.
The Parents and Grandparents of our January 2025 litter are homegrown family animals, and raised in the care of experienced Dachshund owners and breeders. Our Dachshunds are situated in well-socialized homes with adults, children and other animals such as cats, rabbits, and of course other dogs (mainly other Dachshunds).
Gus-Gus and Frankie are well-tempered, lively, gentle, and affectionate. The most common and well-known Dachshund trait is that the breed can be extremely "stubborn". Gus-Gus lives up to that standard.
Frankie is easy-going when she is bribed with sausage treats.
​
We take pride in how we raise and care for our beloved Dachshund family. We are gentle, careful, calm, yet highly active and busy households where the animals build healthy temperaments and bold personalities.
