Where Love Begins — Our Story
Meet Christina
Christina is first and foremost a lover of all animals, but more specifically horses and dogs.
Following my college diplomas (Equine Techniques and Zootechnology (Animal Production)), I first started breeding horses in 1998 which lasted for more than 20 years and a few years later, simultaneously, I also devoted myself to breeding dachshunds, my favorite breed of dog and to which I now devote myself exclusively.
One of the interesting things about Dachshunds is that they are a breed with a wide variety of colors, patterns, and coat types, and for someone like me who has a passion for color genetics, this is ideal.
My breeders come from the United States and also from Western Canada and I have managed to build a breeding program that allows me, thanks to my judicious choices, to obtain all types of colors/patterns/hairs possible. I have a weakness for less standard colors and therefore I have some to offer regularly.
Unmatched Expertise in Breeding
There are basic colors:
Black, Chocolate, Red
Once we add the dilution gene to these colors we get additional colors that are in the same order:
Blue, Isabella or Fawn and Cream
In addition to these basic colors, it is possible to have what are called “points” of another color, either the tips of the legs, the chest, near the buttocks under the tail and a certain mask on the face of Tan or Fire color and we then say that the dog is “X color and tan” and if these markings are diluted then we will speak of “X color and cream”. It is also possible that the dog has no markings and is entirely the same color and then we will speak of “X solid color” therefore no points. White markings located on the chest, tips of the legs, on the head, tip of the tail can sometimes also be present or not without changing the basic color.
Then we have patterns which are “designs” in the base color of the dog’s coat:
Merle or Harlequin (Dapple), Brindle (Brindle) and Piebald (Piebald)
And finally 4 possible types of hair:
Short hair (smoothair or shorthair), long hair (longhair), hard hair (wirehair) and “silky wire” , there is no official term in French. This designates a dog that is basically a long hair on which the hard hair gene has been grafted, so the 2 genes are present and this gives a very hairy dog. Basically a hard hair whose hair is longer and softer (hence the term “silky” if translated).
For more information about my little creatures, I invite you to write to me or call me.

Who knows, your future little 4-legged companion might be at my place?
