Meet the breeder
I'm Kelly, the breeder behind Cross Bar located in Ottumwa, IA. We are a small family ranch that enjoys raising quality miniature dachshunds that are highly socialized in our home from day 1. The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others.
