Enjoying some sunshine. This early summer time weather. I don’t know who enjoys it more me, the kids or the pups. Won’t be long and they will all be headed to their new homes. Big thank you to everyone who is getting a pup. Both pups that were available have their homes.

Update: Both pups have found their home going to some great folks!
These pups are starting to really grow in to their personalities and causing chaos🤣. I have two available for anyone that has been waiting for a pup without having to get on a long wait list. Had two folks that had to back out. They will be ready to go in 3 weeks. Anyone interested scroll to top of page and read the pinned post there and shoot me a private message.

Little fire balls are growing like weeds! 2 weeks old today won’t be long until they are tearing the house apart. I had someone back out on their spot so going to have a pup available. Most likely a female. If you are interested please read the post pinned at top of page and shoot me a message.

Here is what everyone loves to see brand new puppy pictures. Born Monday mom and all 5 pups are doing fantastic. 5 pups means everyone on waiting list will get taken care of this litter. So if you are considering a pup be a great time to get a deposit in to be on list for next litter. Which I will only make if I have folks on list. If you are already on list and haven’t spoke to me this week reach out please. I have tried contacting but haven’t heard back from everyone yet.

Counting down the days. Y’all get ready!! All these are spoken for but I may do another breeding this year if I get a few folks on waitlist.

Our Guarantee and Conditions (Working Homes Only)
Located in East Tennessee We strive to produce the highest quality working dachshunds absolutely possible but even with proven dogs things still happen. So every Southern Fire pup comes with a 12 month old guarantee against any genetic issues. Also a will to work guarantee. What that entails any genetic problem I must receive diagnosis in detail from your vet. That will then be shared with my vet who will make the final assessment. Pup with genetic disorder must be returned to me and ownership reverted back to me. Then you will be eligible to receive a new pup from the next litter we produce. Absolutely no monetary refunds only replacements with returned ownership of current dog.

Will to work guarantee is also 12 months old. You must return pup to me for a evaluation. I will then make a determination on breeding or training being the cause of the issue. ( You can not expect to put pup in kennel or cooped up in house all year then it magically track a wounded deer or run a rabbit when season comes around) If I feel the dog lacks the drive required ownership will revert to me. You then will be eligible for first possible pick from our next litter. We hope to always produce fantastic pups for many years to come and look forward to continuing that journey with new and current owners.

Conditions
All pups will be sold with only LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION (this means pup will not be able to be bred and have pups registered through AKC). Pups will be picked by me for each individual home. I'm spending every day with pups until they go home so I am able to see more of their individual personalities then new owner can from a picture or video. They will also be named on their permanent registration using the Southern Fire suffix or prefix for example ( Joe Vom Southern Fire or Southern Fire Joe)


Prices are $1800.00 total and you must send in a $400 deposit to be placed on waiting list,this guarantees your place in line. Pups must be paid for in whole by 8 weeks old and picked up no later than 9 weeks. The chances of a pup coming available without doing this while not impossible is very unlikely. Deposits are NONREFUNDABLE Things can happen small litters, deaths in litters or failed breedings no way to guarantee a specific litter. Anything on my end be it not enough pups or issues with litter your deposit transfers to next available pup which will depend where you’re at on waiting list. I know waiting isn’t fun but it is only fair way to do things. Thank you for understandingg a
