DePayne's Merry Annie Angeline MS
Isabella and Tan Dapple
Annie is a daughter of CK's Wind In The Willow's MS and Quicksilver Levi and is named after the two most important ladies in my life who have both passed away...my mother, Anna Mary and my grandmother, Lily Angeline. So far she is living up to her name. She is one of the merriest puppies I've ever met!

DePayne's Little Pistol
Red Dapple
Nicely built boy with personality plus. He's very smart and personable with the kind of moxy you would expect from a dog bred to hunt badgers. He and the other boys are available for stud service. I'm thrilled with the quality he's producing! "Pooh" carries for  piebald and has dapple and brindle in his pedigree. He weighs 9.2 pounds.

GB's Neat Nita Of J-Ron MS
Nita is retired from breeding and is going to live with my granddaughter whom she loves very much. I'm glad her mom agreed to let Nita join the family. Nita clicked with Josie on the way home from the airport 3 years ago and Josie returns the feeling :)

DePayne's Little Miss Sparkle
Blue and Tan
Sparkle is my resident 'Diva'. She's the only one who likes wearing a coat in the winter and struts her stuff with her faux fur collared coat. She carries off the spoiled rich girl act very well!

DePayne's Little Jelena
(name means shining light)
Chocolate and Tan
Jelena aka Jelly Bean is my husband's favorite. She looks very smug when she sits in his lap in the recliner to watch movies at night. She looks like a queen gazing down on the 'peons' who aren't allowed to share his lap. I'm sure she'd give them the raspberry if she knew how!

DePayne's Callista Angeni
(name means most beautiful spirit angel)
Black and Silver Dapple
Cally came here at 8 weeks and lives up to her name. She's just as sweet as she looks. She does not like to share her favorite toy with others who love to remove squeakers solely to annoy her and worries when it goes into the washer for 'bathing'! 
Cally Pedigree
The Dachshund breed originated in the late 1800's and were originally used by German foresters to hunt badger. After discovering they made excellent trackers too, they were also used, and still are today, to follow blood trails to locate deer for hunters. Deer can travel long distances after being shot with arrows or guns before succumbing and Dachshunds have been proven to be excellent trackers. Over the years they've proven to be very versatile hunters, used to hunt rabbits and foxes, and used in packs to hunt wild boar.
They are small dogs with the moxy of a Doberman Pinscher. They are smart, tenacious, loving, and can be total clowns. They love being the center of attention. The short legs and long body can belie the amount of speed they can attain and the agility they possess.
It is uncertain what breeds were used to develop the Dachshund, but it is believed the European Braque or Bracke, the German Pinscher, and the Turnspit Dog may have been 3 of the breeds involved.
In America the Dachshund comes in 2 sizes and 3 haircoat types. The American sizes are miniature, 11 pounds and under at twelve months and older, and standard, which are 16 to 32 pounds at twelve months and older. The 3 haircoats are smooth, long haired, and wire haired.
The following is a list of many possible colors and color patterns seen in Dachshunds.
SOLIDS: The color may be solid or 'point' (a base coat with blackhairs mixed in, giving it a darker appearance).
     *Red
     *Cream
TWO COLOR (Solid color features with tan points)
     *Black and tan
     *Blue (gray) and tan
     *Chocolate and tan
     *Isabella (fawn) and tan
     *WIld Boar (dark outer coat/lighter undercoat)              and tan
     *Brindle (Dark or black stripes may go over the             entire body or only in the tan points)
     *Dapple
         *Single: Patches of lighter coat color on the                   darker coat. Dog may have blue eyes and
          a large area of white on the chest.
         *Double: Includes patches of light and dark                    coat, as well as patches of white. Dog may                    have blue eyes.
     *Piebald: Coat is white with splashes of color.
As with the Dobermans, if you are buying a puppy as a family pet, spaying or neutering will make life happier and easier for you and your dog and reduce or remove chances of reproductive disorders and will avoid unwanted puppies.

Minnie Winnie V
Red
Minnie is retired from breeding and ready to be rehomed. She's very happy and outgoing and loves everybody. Gets along well with other dogs. She's energetic, but is content to lay for hours gnawing on her bone. She rides well in the car, walks on a leash and I think she will be very easy to housebreak. She seldom potties in her kennel as long as she goes outdoors twice a day. She makes herself right at home in my house.
