🏆 Excellence in Every Generation
Breeding, Raising & Showcasing Excellence Since 1974
At Nuforest Miniature Dachshunds, we’re proud to have produced and exhibited some of the most accomplished AKC Champion Miniature Dachshunds in the country. For over five decades, our passion has been perfecting the Dachshund’s form, temperament, and spirit — creating dogs that are as beautiful in the show ring as they are loving in the home.
✨ Our show dogs are wonderful family companions, and our family companions are show-quality.
🌟 A Legacy of Champions
Earning a Championship title is no easy feat. Before the American Kennel Club (AKC) awards the coveted title of Champion (CH), a dog must defeat many other outstanding competitors of the same breed and coat variety. Each win represents dedication, preparation, and excellence — qualities that define every Nuforest Dachshund.
Each of our Dachshunds represents years of careful planning, health screening, and expert breeding. From our Longhaired, Smooth, and Wirehaired lines, we’ve proudly developed dogs that embody the AKC Dachshund Breed Standard — balanced, confident, and full of personality.
Our champions aren’t just titles on paper; they are living proof of our commitment to preserving and improving the Dachshund breed. Many of our winners have gone on to produce the next generation of show-quality dogs, continuing the Nuforest legacy.

🐾 Our Heritage and Achievements
We have been showing dogs since 1974, and over the years we’ve bred or owned more than 50 AKC Champions.
Our dedication to quality extends far beyond the U.S. — we’ve also bred or owned Canadian, Mexican, and Brazilian Champions.
Some of our most memorable winners and treasured dogs are proudly featured on this page.
Each Nuforest Dachshund is the result of careful planning, health screening, and generations of thoughtful breeding.
Every litter is bred with one goal in mind: to improve the next generation — in structure, temperament, and health — while ensuring our dogs thrive as loving family companions.
💕 Temperament That Shines
At Nuforest, you won’t find a single aggressive or grumpy Dachshund. Every one of our dogs is friendly, socialized, and happy to interact with people of all ages.
Our mothers are proud, gentle caregivers — you can reach into any of our whelping boxes and be greeted with trust, not a growl. This stable temperament and affectionate nature are at the heart of every Nuforest Dachshund, whether destined for the show ring or a family couch.
Ask any Nuforest owner — they’ll tell you their Dachshund is not only beautiful but also incredibly intelligent, loyal, and loving.
🏡 Where Our Champions Live
While many of our adult Dachshunds enjoy spacious, clean, and well-maintained outdoor kennel runs, each one receives daily attention, exercise, and love. Walk through our kennel and you’ll be met with wagging tails and smiling faces — Dachshunds that thrive on human connection.
Our dogs are handled daily, ensuring strong bonds, confidence, and comfort in any setting — from a quiet home to a bustling show hall.
🧬 From the Ring to the Family
Nuforest Dachshunds are bred for both show excellence and companionship. We focus on:
- Correct structure and movement that meet AKC standards
- Health and genetic soundness proven through generations
- Steady, loving temperaments that make them ideal family members
When a Nuforest champion retires from the ring, they often go on to become cherished pets or valuable contributors to our breeding program. Learn more about how we plan and raise our litters on our About Our Breeding Program page.
💎 Continuing the Legacy
Our Dachshunds compete in over 100 AKC-sanctioned events each year, earning points, titles, and admiration from judges and spectators alike.
