**** OUR RETIRED ADULTS, PARENTS TO PAST JO-JAC LITTERS ****
"McMillan's Frosted Artic Fox" aka 'Foxfyre'
Longhair ee Cream Male

Foxfyre had gone back to live out in the country with his orgininal owner a couple of years ago, and he tragically lost his life as the result of a coyote attack. He was a half brother to Angel, they shared the same sire. I am grateful to my friend Kasey Aldridge of 'The Jewelry Dox' for bringing this beautiful boy to me after our tragic loss of Ohri a few years ago. Foxfyre was the sire of almost all of our litters in 2018 and 2019. We are thankful to have two of Foxfyre's sons in our breeding program - my Magic, and the Schreiber's Draco.

Black/Cream Longhair Female
The daughter of Shayna and Foxfyre, Shami is a third generation Jo-Jac girl and is an absolutely beautiful girl. She is silly and a delight, always carrying a toy around wherever she goes - usually her favorite LambChops. Shami had unsuccessful IVDD surgery at Texas A&M early this year. Unfortunately she did not regain the use of her back legs, but is happy and as active as possible in her situation. She lives with my close friend Kathy who is devoted to her, and also has her mom Shayna.

She was spayed in 2018 following successful IVDD surgery to repair a ruptured disc. She has been placed with the family that has one of her littermates.

Shira was born on Thanksgiving day in 2006, her name means “Thanksgiving Song”. Shira's my baby and lovingly spoiled, my daughters jokingly call her their "sister"! Shira stays here as my baby and 'Number One Grandma' to our future litters. Hard to believe that my baby girl recently turned 15 years old! Shira has started to slow down in the last year, and has developed some serious health issues. She is always pampered and loved, and will be with us for as long as she is able to be happy and free of pain.

"Schreiber's Marble Mystique of Jo-Jac"
Retired 2014
Chocolate/Tan Smooth Dapple Female
Mysti was born in April of 2011, and at the time was our only dapple. Mysti had her only litter of puppies in the winter of 2013 and we almost lost her from complications after their birth. She was retired and spayed, and lived with her daughter Tootsie a few doors down from me until their human mom unexpected passed away in the spring of 2015. Thankfully I was able to place them (along with their 13 year old dapple housemate Bailey) with a wonderful family in the Metroplex. So happy to have found a great home for the orphaned 'Darling Dapple Trio' as their new family refers to them, and be able to keep the three of them together!

"Jo-Jac's Carmel Cappuchino"

Carmel has been neutered and adopted by a family in our neighborhood with two other dachshund playmates for him. Carmel matured into a beautiful small standard chocolate-based red weighing around 16 pounds, and was just too large for our miniature dachshund breeding program.
