At 4.5 months old, our puppies have grown a lot since they left us in October. We are so happy with not only the families these 6 little ones have gone to, but how they are developing.
Admiral (Lasse), Apollo (Bertil) and Amarillo (Milo) are enjoying the winter weather here on the west coast.
Aurora (Sophie) is enjoying playing with mom, Stella, and grandpa, Baxter… and of course her new X-mas toys.
Atlas (Thorleif) is as pretty as a picture and enjoying the winter outside Västerås.
Azacca (Esther) is a little skeptical of her photo-mates, but enjoying the city life in Gothenburg.
A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all friends, family and puppy buyers! Have a wonderful start to 2024.
We aim to breed based on recommendations from the Swedish Dachshund Club (SvTK), thus Zoe (Brianna Brava vom Eisenstein) will not be bred until after her 3rd birthday. We plan to mate her in late 2024/early 2025 depending on her cycle
*This will be an active litter. Both planned parents are excellent family dogs with great temperament, but also with good noses and actively track and hunt (deer, hares). The COI for the planned litter will be 0%.*
If you are interested in a puppy from us, please send an email telling us a bit about you. We would like to know about our future puppy buyers such as: Why you would like a dachshund? Have you owned one before? Do you hunt/track/exhibit or do any other activities? etc…
2024.04.20: We are happy to announce that after 3x 1st prizes in a row Zoe (Brianna Brava vom Eisenstein) will be able to add Swedish Blood Tracking Champion(Svensk viltspårchampionat) to her name.
As icing on the cake, all tests were performed under different judges.
At just 5 months old Moniker Atlas “Thorleif” attended his very first puppy show. He received a wonderful critique from well respected judge Cindy Pettersson and more important… he had a lot of fun! The end result was 1st place in puppy class with honor prize, BOB puppy and BIG-2 puppy. Big congratulations to Jenny and Thorleif!
His critique:
Excellent proportions, long elegant head with dark well formed eyes. Good ears, wonderful scissor bite. Very nice forebreast with straight legs. Well formed paws, good neck, well set shoulder, good length of ribcage. Strong lumbar region, good tail. Good angulation in back. Wonderful fur. A bold and lovely puppy that moves well.
The puppies turned 8 weeks old on Saturday and they meant moving to new homes! All of the puppies have found wonderful homes around Sweden. A few will be staying around the Gothenburg area and we hope we can schedule a few sibling get togethers.
Before they left we had final table photos and play times in the garden. The table stacks are not perfect as I preferred to get a nature stack as previously with the puppies, but overall, I have been happy with what I have seen.

There were a lot of last: last nail clipping, last time in the garden, last cuddles on the couch, last play time all together. It’s a bittersweet feeling to watch them move out, but I know that there are wonderful families waiting for them.
Moniker Admiral (red boy, green collar) and Moniker Amarillo (wild boar boy, orange collar) are still looking for their forever homes. The puppies are 6 weeks old and can leave to new homes on October 1st.
Both parents have had their eyes checked multiple times without remarks, they have been genetically checked and are free from diseases OI and crd-PRA, known to affect wirehaired dachshunds. Jamiroquai is a highly merited hunting dog with excellent size, temperament and fur. Shaula is a blood tracking champion that has also been training nosework and eftersök (practical/real-life tracking). Both are excellent family dogs with good “on/off” switch.
The pedigree is a mix of working and exhibition dogs. Jamiroquai has produced a number of promising hunting and show offspring. Additionally, Shaula’s 2 previous litters with her breeder at Team-Freja kennel (2021), have started on show and blood tracking trials with success. With this litter, we hope for good tempered, healthy, active dogs with excellent exterior that can be true “all arounders”.
Aside from lifetime support from us (questions, help with grooming or training, etc…) our puppies come with:
-Registration in the Swedish Kennel Club (SKK) with pedigree
-Veterinary examination and report not older than 7 days
-Microchipping and 1st vaccinations (*Passport available upon request)
-3x deworming
-Hidden faults insurance through Agria as well as help with setting up individual insurance
Puppy packet that includes:
-Detailed tips and timepoints important for your new puppy
-Puppy Food
-Toys
-Blanket with scent from mom/siblings
Entrance fees for 1 show & 1 hunting test or 1 BPH entrance fee at 15 months old (12 months old for viltspårprov or BPH). This allows our puppy buyers to try a new activity and for us to evaluate the litter. We strive to always improve the breed.
Moreover, we have spend a lot of time socializing our puppies to various sound, people and situations, which we hope will lead to a well balanced, stable family member.
Interested? Please feel free to call or email for more information.
The Moniker “A”s turned 5 weeks old this Saturday. We had a lot of visitors and opportunities to learn new things. The puppies had their 2nd round of deworming (they were not fans), took their first ride in the car and met children of different ages (2.5-10 years old) for the first time, had some fun in the garden, were introduced to different scents and hooves/wings (deer, wild boar and goose), ran through tunnels and got to explore the grooming table. It is hard to wear a puppy out, but I think we are doing an ok job. 🙂
Currently 2 boys and 1 girl are still available.
They are ready to move to new home October 1st/week 39. You can see what is included with your future puppy here: Buying a puppy from us
**One boy may be available to the right home that has interest in shows or working trials (we would maintain breeding rights or co-own).**
This weekend the weather was perfect for the puppies first visit outdoors. Stella showed them how to dig, toured the yard, played with each other and visitors, and interacted with grandpa Baxter before finally crashing. Additionally, the puppies are starting to be introduced to different sounds, like the vacuum cleaner, cooking in the kitchen, lawnmowers, people and cars going by, etc.., and different scents, such as deer and rabbit to work their noses and minds. The pups had several visitors this week including older children and various ages of adults. They have always been very curious, cuddly and playful. We are really happy with their development thus far.
