Meet the breeder
I'm Kendall, the breeder behind Gem State Mini Dachshunds located in Idaho. Currently, we have two active breeding dogs - Remmy, a male Black & Tan Dapple and Peach, an ee Cream Brindle female. Both Remmy & Peach are AKC registered, Embark tested and OFA/CHIC for CAER Eyes, Patellar Luxation and Basic Cardiac. We prioritize health and temperament over color in our puppies.
Q. & A. with Kendall
Why did you start breeding?
I got in to breeding due to my love for dogs. I had always dreamt of becoming a veterinarian and the science behind animal genetics is truly what got me so interested in breeding. I spent years researching the dachshund breed and doing all I could to understand their genetics and best practices for breeding before I ever even sought out my first pup.What makes your program special?
We prioritize health and temperament over all else. Our dogs undergo extensive health testing, above and beyond that of the standard “genetic testing.” We back our dogs 100% and will always take a puppy back, at any point in its life. When selecting dogs to add to our program, they are simply “prospects” until after 2 years of age when all health testing, maturity and temperament can be evaluatedWhat 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 have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, chocolate, brindle, chocolate and cream, chocolate and tan, black and cream, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Penne
Penne is an adorable little Shaded Red. At just 7lbs, 7oz, she is the smallest of our crew. Penne is full of energy and loves to play, but will also happily snuggle the day away in your lap if you let her. She is very people oriented and has never met a stranger! She will be a future momma, pending health testing and maturity.

Dachshund
About Remington
Remmy is a total momma’s boy. He is velcroed to my hip at all times but also LOVES meeting new people. He “smiles” when excited and loves any lap that will allow him in it! He is very social with other dogs and tolerates cats. He is a great example of a Dachshund, and the main reason I wanted to start breeding. We love him so much!
Excellent health testing

About Georgia Peach
Georgia Peach is an absolute lovebug. She is very social and wants to be friends with everyone and everything. She is a total velcro and always wants to be with her people, cuddling on the couch, following along at your heels and snuggling up under the covers in bed. Peach loves all other dogs - big and small - and even adores our cat, Arlo. She is the best momma to her pups and definitely passes her sweet temperament on to each of them. She is AKC Registered and has clearances for OFA CAER Eyes, OFA Patellar Luxation & OFA Basic Cardiac, as well as a full genetic panel.
