Q. & A. with Rolando

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into dog breeding because of my lifelong love for dogs and my interest in learning more about their bloodlines, health, and temperament. What started as owning and caring for dogs grew into a passion for preserving quality traits and raising well-rounded puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes my Dachshund breeding program special is my commitment to raising healthy, well-socialized puppies with great temperaments and strong breed characteristics. As a breeder, I focus on preserving the qualities that make Dachshunds such wonderful companions—their intelligence, loyalty, playful personalities, and affectionate nature.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. 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.

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

    Our puppies include piebald, cream, red, black, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Rolando

Rolando has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Rolando partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“My puppy buyer matching policy is focused on placing each puppy in the home that best fits its personality, energy level, and the family’s lifestyle. I take the time to get to know each buyer through conversations about their experience with dogs, household environment, daily routine, and expectations. Rather than choosing solely based on color, gender, or picking order, I carefully evaluate each puppy’s temperament and development to help ensure a successful lifelong match. For my Dachshunds, I look at factors such as activity level, confidence, sociability, and whether the puppy would be best suited for a family with children, other pets, or a quieter home. My goal is to set both the puppy and the new family up for success. I believe responsible breeding doesn’t end when a puppy goes home. I provide ongoing support and am always available to answer questions and offer guidance throughout the dog’s life. My priority is producing healthy, well-socialized Dachshunds and placing them in loving, committed homes where they will thrive. — Rolando Chavez”
