Meet the breeder

I'm Amy G., the breeder behind Dachshund Darlins located in Opelika, AL. Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others. All of our puppies are raised in our home and socialized with children, cats and other pets. What do Dachshunds love the most? Dachshunds are loyal to their people. They love to snuggle with you and bring lots of joy to your life! If you love floppy ears, little legs, and big personalities then you will love to have a dachshund complete you're life. They are like lays potato chips; you can't have just one! Lol.

Q. & A. with Amy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When I was 15 years old I got my first mini dachshund. I named her biscuit. She was a red dapple with blue eyes ❤️ my neighbor also had little black and tan male so they fell in love and we decided to have a litter. She had 4 beautiful babies and they brought so much joy to our lives. I had my biscuit for 15 years. ❤️ I have one of her daughters...and now I have one of her grand pup daughters. I'm keeping her bloodline going. They are very special to me. 💖🙂

  • What makes your program special?

    I adore Dachshunds💖 they are the absolute best family dogs. Our babies are raised in home socialized with children and other pets. Will have first vet visit before going home. 💞🩵💞

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include longhaired and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Amy was super helpful and responsive throughout the whole process of bringing little Leontus home. She answered all my questions, kept me updated on our sweet boy, and made everything really easy from start to finish. The pickup went so smoothly too; she was organized, Leontus was clearly well cared for and ready to go, and the whole thing just felt relaxed and stress-free. You can tell she really loves her dogs and truly wants the best for them. Welcome home little leontus!

    Five star experience working with Amy. Start to finish. She even accommodated our delay in picking up Hazel due to an unexpected medical issue. Hazel is a great addition to our family and a lot of fun watching her play and do all things puppy. She loves to sleep up high, especially a human neck🤣. She loves going for an evening golf cart ride. Thank you Amy! And Good Dog.

    Amy was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions I had. I have now had Bluebelle for 5 months. She is a great little dog. She has a wonderful disposition. She's also in true dachshund form a little ham.

    Amy has been excellent about sending weekly updates. My little Scarlett is such a beautiful girl. I love watching the updates on all the puppies, and Amy is so great about timely responses to questions, as well.

    I loved working with Amy! she helped us welcome adorable Bingo into our lives! She was really helpful providing us with full information and details & quickly answering any question we had. She stayed in touch & was really nice. Getting our bingo was an experience, driving far from home and amy being so understanding & patient no matter the time of how late we might’ve gotten to her & bingo, we are thankful for the little bundle of happiness that Amy was able to help us welcome. Bingo has been a real sweetheart and adapted quickly to our other fur baby and has been really happy, healthy & lovable since day one, it was a pleasure meeting Amy!
