Dachsie Indulgence Kennels

As of November 1, 2009, we've begun another stage of construction & expansion here at the Dachshund Farm. We're pouring cement round the old barn for our Rescues. We're adding a huge new kennel building on a cement pad with indoor/outdoor exercise runs for our adult registered dogs to have a new home, and we're putting cement around our Puppy barn as well so our pups will have the best as well. We'll get pictures of the work in progress as soon as we can. While all this work was going on we got 14 of our Rescues/Retirees spayed/neutered as well. It has been CRAZY here. Be Patient and we'll get the updates posted. Once the construction is done, we look forward to being listed as Preferred Breeders with both American Kennel Club and Continental Kennel Club. It's been a long process and we're in the home stretches now!

As seen from the road, this is the main house and puppy barn with pens. We've cleared the old fence line out and made it more accessible and open. In the spring and summer it'll be lovely.	As seen from the road, we have a wide open front yard for use in training the dogs.
We've poured cement around our old kennel barn. We plan to use this building to house only our rescues and retirees.We'll be moving the fences back around it for each exercise run to have indoor/outdoor access and each stall has heated doghouses inside. The cement pad poured next to the old kennel barn will soon be home to our new kennel building and runs. We'll have a new 20x30 building on this pad soon with exercise runs off each side. The same indoor/outdoor access will be here for our AKC and CKC registered dogs. We're excited and can't wait for this new addition to be finished!	At the back of the main house, we have our puppy barn, with exercise pens for the puppies on cement pads for their protection. The puppy barn is heated for the winter months, to keep our babies warm and safe. We keep fully stocked with vet supplies for de-worming, puppy shots, and simple basic home veterinary needs. We will have two breeding pens out here as well so that we can carefully monitor our ladies and gents during their special time. When it's all done, we'll get a "finally finished" picture posted!
Inside the rescue barn there are 8 stalls which are roomy and cleaned daily. Each of our dogs is "buddied" with another dog, usually a sibling or similar age if available. Noone wants to be alone, and dogs are meant to have friends. Our volunteers and family members spend as much time with these precious babies as possible.	Even on a dreary fall day, the front yard of the old house is lovely and wide open. We are so lucky in our little slice of heaven.
Our long driveway goes between the two houses straight back to the new pad for the soon to be built new kennel building. The rescue barn is off to the left. We have an amazing piece of property here. When the construction is done we'll have the best kennels and rescue facilities possible.	This is the view from my front porch of the over 2 acres we've had cleared for the construction/additions. Am I a lucky woman or what? The Rescue barn will soon have its fencing back up. The new kennel building will soon be up as well and we can fence around it. The newly cleared area has much improved drainage so that my front yard isn't the former swamp it used to be. Ahhhh! Life is good and grand!
