Meet the breeder
I'm Randi N., the breeder behind East TN Dachshunds located in Knoxville, TN. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
Q. & A. with Randi
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding has been my passion for 20 years and counting. It all started when I started working at a veterinarian clinic right out of high school. The veterinarian was a reproductive vet and a breeder. I learned the ends and outs of everything, from the whole birthing process, doing AI’s (artificial insemination) to delivering puppies through c sections. I mentored under her for several years. I was a veterinarian technician for a total of12 years. I started out breeding Great Danes. Danes short lifespan made it so hard on the heart… So I switched to my favorite breed, the Miniature Dachshund!!What makes your program special?
We strive to preserve the breed to its standard, with health testing, temperament & conformation being our main focus. We start socializing at a very young age. Socialized puppies are more likely to grow up to be wonderful companions.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Dachshund puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Dachshund puppies include wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
