About Us
It all began when I was young, my passion for horses, and all animals in general. I started out my competitive days showing my Thoroughbreds in Hunter/Jumpers, Cross-Country, and also became involved in showing AQHA's English/Western Pleasure, and Equitation. During my late teens and 20's, I got involved with TB racehorses, and galloped for well known trainers in the Chicagoland area where I grew up. After getting a little older, my direction somehow took a turn into dogs. It was in 2003 when we moved from the fast paced city life of Chicago, IL, where I had grown up and lived my whole life, out into the country. Now that we had the room and time, we decided on a dog that would be protective, good with children, and social for everyday activities- the German Shepherd Dog was our chosen breed. It was soon thereafter in 2004, when we acquired our first smooth Dachshund, after deciding a GSD just didn't make a very good "lapdog". :) In 2005, we decided the small farm we rented in the rural Chicagoland area, just wasn't big enough. It was then, that we relocated out of state to the beautiful Missouri Ozarks. It's been a big adjustment for us all, but the air is pure, the ground is beautiful, and we and the animals are so much happier and thankful for all that has come into our lives.
We believe in raising our dogs as naturally as possible, feeding fresh raw meats, along with a high quality kibble. Giving "core" vaccines, and limiting our use on pesticides and toxic chemicals found in and around the home. The reason we do this is simply for the health and longevity of our dogs.
We are currently working to develop our own lines of top performing Dachshunds & German Shepherds. It is a building process, and has been tough along the way. We are always striving to find ways to better our bloodlines and our dogs. Keeping in mind, health and temperament must come first. For this reason, occasionally we offer young adults and adults for sale. We like to keep the number of dogs we own within reason. Therefore, we can easily manage who lives with us, as it's a lot of work between training, showing, conditioning, and just the every day care of our dogs.
Each and every puppy raised here at Stoney Creek Farm is raised in our home, in a beautiful stress free enviornment, where puppies are allowed to play indoors and out in puppy play yards- weather permitting. They are all raised within a semi-active home, and are accustomed to every day home life of vaccumming, in and out human traffic, loud sounds, and whatever the daily household might contain. At appoximately 6-7 weeks, the puppies begin outdoor "potty training" and follow a schedule that allows each puppy the understanding of "housebreaking". At 7 weeks of age we begin individual crate training, and therefore, by time the puppy reaches his/her new home at 8 weeks, your puppy already understands the concept of pottying outdoors, knows "sit", "off", "here", and "no". That's right, we think its extremely important to teach our puppies basic home manners, as many have small children, elderly parents, or family members who may be disabled. We think that's pretty good for an 8 week old puppy! (Due to the small size of Miniature Dachshund babies, the above may not apply at those same ages. Outdoor potty/playtime may not begin until 8-9 weeks in some instances).
* * Our German Shepherds come from the best VA-V rated West German show lines available today. Our dogs are bred for SV style show, Schutzhund, Personal Protection, Police K9, SAR, Service Dogs, AKC events, and wonderful Family Companions. All of our dogs are OFA hip & elbow certified, and only come from hip/elbow certified lineage.
* * Our Miniature Dachshunds come from top kennels in the US, CAN, and UK. We actively show our Dachshunds in conformation to prove their breed worthiness, as well as perform health testing to ensure good health. Our Dachsies will hopefully be most commonly found in the Conformation ring, out doing Field Trials, or best of all, snuggled on someone's lap! We are proud to be the home of Ch. Cedar Hills Winn-Dixie MLC, Ch. Stoneycreek Winter Romance MLC, Ch. Stoneycrk Peppermint Mocha MLD, Ch. Teckelw'd Dancing Nancies MS, and home to many more champions waiting in the wings.
