Meet the breeder
I'm Samantha, the breeder behind DreamHaven Kennel located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I love the dachshund’s breed. I tell my husband all the time, if everyone just had one weenie dog, the world would be a happier please. I am currently transitioning my breeding program to focus on bred preservation. Stay tuned for some exciting news!
Q. & A. with Samantha
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the dachshund breed in 2013. My first dachshund was a birthday gift to my daughter, her name is Penny. She is the sweetest, most gentle dog I have ever met. She loves babies, and young kids the most. Penny gave us one litter of babies, and it was so rewarding. I truly enjoy showing, training, and breeding my dogs. I strive to produce healthy, good temperament pets.What makes your program special?
I have rigorously studied the Dachshund AKC Standard, and continue to learn and grow from the great breeders around me. I consider each dog in my program based on health, temperament, and conformation. All my parent dogs are health tested. I also am active in AKC events like Conformation, Trick Dog, and more.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Memphis
Memphis is a AKC Champion. He is a beautiful blend of the European and American bloodlines. His Dam is a Russian import out of the Highly Respected "Littl Fut Kennel". Memphis's paternal grandsire Levi is an AKC Grand Champion, and was imported from Africa out of the "Karonika Kennel". His pedigree was carefully curated to include both AKC and International Champions on both side of his pedigree. Merits: He recently passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen, AKC Novice Trick Dog title, and we are currently working toward his Intermediate Trick Title. Memphis is very smart and loves to please, training him has been such a joy for me.
