Hi there everyone and welcome to Mingee’s Longhair Mini Dachshuds. My name is Christina(Chrissy)Mingee, mom to 4 amazing children, husband, and momma to some pretty amazing longhair dachshunds. My love and passion started at a very young age for animals and more specifically dachshunds as my grandmother had them while growing up. Then came my daughter Ky would is also an avid animal lover and more so longhair dachshund ethusiast. Together, Ky and I decided to dabble in breeding and see where it would take us, not knowing just how far. Ky and I have done alot of research, still ever learning, but nonetheless want to be able to produce good quality sound pups, with great temperaments, good structure, healthy, happy dachshunds. We are a small town breeder located in Gloucester, Virginia starting out as a pet breeder only now slowly transitioning over to good quality AKC pups. My daughter Ky and I started our showing journey in 2023 and have had the pleasure of showing some incredible dachshunds as well as other breeds and only hope to grow from there. YES, we Health Test and currently getting ALL of our breeding/show dachshunds all of their OFA’s done per breed standard as well as genetic testing. We also participate in FastCat, Dock Diving, and will be dabbling in Barn Hunting & Field Trials so we can work on obtaining DUAL Champion titles on our dachshunds.

Chrissy Mingee
FOUNDER
It all began with a dream! A girl and a dachshund and the magic sparked! In my photo with me is my heart dog Nemo(who does no wrong,lol). Nemo was apart one of my very 1st litters & from the moment I laid eyes on him I knew he was special. You see Nemo was born with a cleft palate and needed me and little did I realize I needed him. I’m an avid Disney lover(hence our dachshunds names), and of course all things Doxie! We started out breeding in 2019/2020 to see if it was something for us, and we instantly fell in love with the gift of life. Over the years Ky & Chrissy have learned so much about Dachshunds as a whole and continue to learn as much as we possibly can as things are changing daily. Chrissy is also an avid show”er alongside her daughter Ky, both of whom will be traveling alot in 2024 with big announcements to come. All of our AKC lines will be fully implemented into our program by 2025/2026 as we fully transition to AKC limited/full rights only. Fully health tested on all of our dogs to include all OFA’s per Dachshund Club Of America breed recommendations as well as genetic testing. There is always something to learn, advice to be given, knowledge to learn, mentorship, guidance, and support to be given.

Gracie Mingee
Gracie is my youngest daughter, who is a HUGE part of behind the scenes. She helps tremendously with cleaning, socializing, doing ENS, keeping us organized, helps with photos, doula, and at the age of 9 whelped her very 1st litter with little to no help and has been doing so ever since. Gracie prefers to be behind the scenes and we are grateful for all she does for our program.
