Meet the breeder

I'm Scott M., the breeder behind Dachshunds on the Hill located in Grand Valley, PA. Our dogs are bred to have top qualities that all families want in their puppies, such as compassion, patience, and love! The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others.

Q. & A. with Scott

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My wife and I have always have always had dachshunds. We had got into breeding them about 30 years ago. Then as our children started getting into sports and getting busier we had got out of the business. They are grown now with their own children and we are back in the business of raising our favorite breed! Our number one goal is to breed toward a good temperament. The dogs and puppies are raised around our grandchildren.

  • What makes your program special?

    All puppies are raised in our home and socialized with children. Any adult we don’t feel has the right temperature to be carried out in their line is spayed or neutered and kept as a member of our family. We only want to breed exceptional temperaments. We would say temperament is our number one concern.

  • 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 wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired 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, brindle, wheaten, chocolate and tan, blue and tan, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    My experience purchasing a puppy from Dachshunds on the Hill through Good Dog was fantastic. They were very responsive and even sent me pictures of my puppy before I picked her up. At the pickup, I had the chance to meet my puppy's parents, which I appreciated. They provided an impressive take-home bag to help me get started. My puppy has the sweetest demeanor and is full of love. She is incredibly smart, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dachshund breeder.

    If you’re searching for a new addition to your family, look no further than Dachshunds on the Hill. I’m so glad I found Scott and Heather through the Good Dog app—they were incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful from the start. Once we chose our pup, they kept us updated on her growth until it was time to bring her home at 8 weeks old. It’s clear they raise truly beautiful dogs. Our puppy is sweet, eager to learn, a little sassy, and wonderful with our kids and other dog. I recommend Dachshunds on the Hill 1000%! Your heart will absolutely grow with one of their sweet pups 🩷

    I was incredibly worried that getting a dog wasn’t right for me as I already had so much on my plate. I wish I would’ve known that getting my puppy would actually make me feel like weight was lifted off my shoulders. Maverick is the sweetest, funniest, most well behaved dog. Everywhere we go, people are shocked that he has such good temperament and will be besties with any person or dog around. Besides being so freaking adorable, he is ridiculously smart and charismatic. The dogs are well kept by Scott and Heather and all of them are beyond sweet! So grateful to Hounds on the Hill for bringing me my best friend!! I highly recommend finding your fur baby here!!

    Heather and Scott were amazing and so helpful when it came to buying my puppy Nala! They were very fast to responding and without a doubt very professional. My puppy Nala is so very sweet and with in the past week or two has really shown her personality. Nala is so good with kids and absolutely loves people she is so loving and loves to play. It’s clear that Heather and Scott surround the puppy's with love and care. Im so glad I have my Nala and I definitely recommend getting puppies from them!
