We screen all
our buyers very carefully, and it is a multi-step process that involves
filling out a questionnaire and phone conversations. We
sell puppies only to serious trackers who are willing to put their time
into training and tracking. So if you are looking primarily for a pet
dachshund that will track a wounded deer 1-2 times a year, we are not a
right breeder for you. We do not ship puppies.
We post daily on our public Facebook page. And we post a lot of videos of puppies on our YouTube channel.
If you are planning to get a puppy for blood tracking purposes, make sure that you have a good supply of deer blood, organs, hides and legs for training purposes.
We get a lot of inquiries about dachshund puppies that would be good prospects for blood tracking. You might hear differently, and everybody is entitled to his own opinion, but not all dachshunds are good candidates for blood tracking. Of course it matters what kind of training pups will receive and how they are handled, but genetics and an early start matter too... A LOT.
The dachshund is a versatile hunting breed, and in Europe it is widely used for fox and badger hunting, game flushing and retrieving, and blood tracking. Because of different hunting traditions and different game, in North America the hunting dachshund is used mainly for blood tracking (standard dachshunds), falconry and woodchuck hunting (minis). If you are looking for a puppy primarily for blood tracking, make sure that you ask a breeder about priorities in his/her breeding program. Of course, you also need to ask many more questions about a health guarantee and the support you are going to get once you purchase a pup. Price is not the only thing that matters!

Are any puppies still available?
As of September 24, all puppies have been sold.
I can't wait to see the Mielikki-Sky puppies! Ohhh if I only had space for another one...
Thanks Julie :) I can't wait either!
Please place richard and Carole dye on your list for updated information on upcoming litters and how we can hopefully start the process. We live in a 142 acre farm and my husband and fam/friends also rent another 300 acres. We live in a rural community with many avid hunters and my husband is stoked about possibly getting a pup and training him.
