Our kennel
Love, wellbeing and rigorous selection
A high-end family kennel, specializing in the long-haired cream and dapple Dachshund, in Beaumont-du-Gâtinais.
A passion passed down through the family
Based in Beaumont-du-Gâtinais (77890), in the heart of Seine-et-Marne, we welcome visitors to a green setting where our long-haired cream and dapple Dachshunds grow up surrounded by love, respect, and care. At La Crème des Teckels, every litter is the result of rigorous selection, designed to preserve the qualities of this breed.
We've chosen excellence, both in our bloodlines and in the health tests run on all our breeding dogs: healthy, well-socialized puppies, raised free-roaming, at home, alongside our family.
Our specialties: cream and dapple, long-haired
The long-haired cream Dachshund
A silky coat with golden highlights, an expressive gaze, and a graceful silhouette — one of the rarest colour varieties of the breed. Naturally calm and deeply attached to its family, it's become the kennel's signature colour.
The dapple Dachshund
A mottled coat blending black, chocolate, tan, or grey, with a playful, curious temperament. We select our dapple breeding dogs for emotional stability and intelligence.

What are the different types of Dachshunds?
The Dachshund comes in three coat varieties (smooth, long-haired, wire-haired) and three sizes (standard, miniature, kaninchen). Each combination has its own physical and behavioral traits. For example, the wire-haired Dachshund tends to be more rugged and energetic, while the long-haired variety is known for its gentleness.
Is the Dachshund a good dog for families with children?
Yes, the Dachshund can be an excellent companion for children, provided it is well trained and socialized. Its playful, affectionate nature makes it popular with families, but it also has a strong-willed temperament — clear boundaries from the start are important.
What are a Dachshund's exercise needs?
Despite its short legs, the Dachshund is an active dog that needs regular outings and mental stimulation. A daily walk, play, and training sessions are essential to avoid boredom and unwanted behaviors.
What health issues are common in Dachshunds?
The Dachshund is prone to certain back problems, notably disc herniation, due to its elongated build. It's important to avoid frequent jumping and to monitor weight to avoid overloading the spine.
What is a Dachshund's life expectancy?
The Dachshund is a fairly robust dog, with an average life expectancy of 12 to 16 years. A balanced diet, regular veterinary care, and appropriate activity all contribute to its longevity.
How much does a Dachshund cost and where can I adopt one?
A Dachshund's price varies by variety, bloodline, and breeder. Expect between 1,500 and 6,000 euros depending on color and bloodline for a puppy from a serious breeder. It's important to choose a professional, responsible breeder who prioritizes health and wellbeing.
