Meet the breeder

I'm Shelley P., the breeder behind Holiday Dachshunds located in Rochester Hills, MI. Our dogs are bred with a focus on temperament, confirmation, and intelligence. We are dedicated to providing our families with wonderful, healthy family pets. Puppies are home raised with other dogs, cats, and children.

Q. & A. with Shelley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Fell in love with dachshunds years ago. Bred several litters with my first set of dachshunds in 2010-2013. Those were then retired and lived in luxury until they passed away around age 14. I have since replaced them and loved the journey with puppies and am repeating my experience.

  • What makes your program special?

    The small family experience helps develop well adjusted pets. Puppies are exposed to my 3 dogs, 2 cats, my 5 year old granddaughter. my 3 have all completed advanced obedience training, and AKC Canine Good Citizen training. Pups are exposed to well behaved adults.

  • 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 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 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.

    Shelley was so responsive and easy to work with and couldn’t have made the process any better. We got to visit our dog before we could take him home and her home is clean and all the dogs were very well taken care of. She provided us with almost daily communication about our dog so we could be updated before he came home. Our puppy is so good natured and sweet and I have no doubt it’s because of how he was cared for by Shelley. She is very knowledgeable about the breed and was available for any questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    I highly recommend working with Shelly. She showed all green flags during this process. After I inquired about a puppy she offered up lots of information and was willing to FaceTime. There was absolutely no pressure on making a decision as I wanted to make sure I was making the right one. After my puppy was reserved she sent multiple pictures/videos/updates as well as documents with lots of new puppy information. The puppies are raised in her home with other dogs, cats, children, and various other exposures. We had steady communication all the way through pick up day. She made this whole process amazing and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to get my puppy from her!!! Cleo says hi <3

    We reached out to Shelley with interest in a puppy before any puppies were available and from our first conversation to the day we picked up our beautiful baby boy we couldn't have been happier with her service! Shelley was very knowledgeable and was quick to respond to any questions we had. She was very helpful throughout the whole process of choosing a puppy, arranging pick up, and preparing us for transitioning our puppy to our home. Shelley's puppies are raised in a clean home environment and socialized well which is exactly what we looked for in our search for the perfect family puppy. Our puppy Bain is not only the sweetest boy, but comes from a beautiful bloodline making him a very handsome boy as well!

    Shelley is one of the most kindest, honest breeder. All my text messages were answered within minutes. We were interested in a female and went to her house to see the puppy. After seeing our little girl, received updated videos and pictures from Shelley. The puppies were living in a very clean environment. Shelley’s puppies are very high quality dogs. Shelley really cares for her dogs. We are very happy!!

    Shelley was great at responding quickly and answering any questions I had. She knows so much about this special breed <3 It was a pleasure to work with her and get our special girl. You can tell she does this as a passion, and not just to make money. She loves on all the pups as she would her own! We highly recommend her and her beautiful pups :)
