Meet the breeder

I'm Monica S., the breeder behind Faraway Farm Dachshunds located in Bostic, NC. At Faraway Farm Dachshunds, we have been building our reputation as a trusted Dachshund Breeder in Callahan Florida since we bred our first Doxie back in 2018. We take our responsibilities very seriously and strive to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of all our dogs and puppies. That’s why the happiest days for us are when one of our puppies is adopted by a loving and welcoming family.

Q. & A. with Monica

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was new to breeding 3 years ago but my sister, Lisa Sommes, was experienced in birthing babies due to her experience breeding Collies. We love Dachshunds so it was a natural progression to eventually start breeding these adorable dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    I think our breeding program is special because we are retired, live next door to each other, and work together to take care of the dogs. We are always there together when the birth occurs and we provide lots of training activities for the puppies. Because of all of this, I believe our puppies have extra wonderful personalities!

  • 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 sable, piebald, cream, red, chocolate and cream, and black and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Monica was very helpful and knowledgeable when we were searching for our puppy. You can really tell they care about their dogs! She was super responsive and gave updates at least weekly. They supplied us with pee pads, toys, food, health certifications, and anything else we could need. I highly recommend Monica if you’re looking for a puppy.
