Meet the breeder

I'm Brielle W., the breeder behind Hope Heelers located in Hope, MI. We are proud to offer our beautiful Mini Dachshund puppies to loving homes! Our dogs are healthy and have great temperaments. We are passionate breeders and are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding practices. We do all that we can to make sure our pups get the best care and go to the best homes!

Q. & A. with Brielle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As an animal lover and dog owner I want to provide to others with a loving companion with a life free of birth defects and genetic issues. I lost my AKC registered purebred Corgi at a young age of 11 due to Degenerative Myelopathy a condition in which could have been avoided through genetic testing and proper breeding. This has driven me to do genetic testing and research to achieve healthy pups.

  • What makes your program special?

    We dedicate our time to our pups!! They get constant socialization with: children, pets, toys (play, touch, sound - interaction), grooming, interaction with crate training and car rides. We start potty training at 1-2 weeks initiating by scent. We start their training as if we were training them to live in our homes so that they can succeed in your home.

  • 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 longhaired and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chocolate and tan, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Brielle was phenomenal to work with. You can tell she genuinely cares for her puppies and really helped us get a good start with our newest family member, Henry. Henry is the best thing that happened to our family!

    The whole experience was easy and comfortable. Brielle is knowledgeable about her dogs and dedicates her time to ensure healthy, adjusted puppies. Will get my next heeler from her and would definitely recommend!

    We brought our Blu home a few weeks ago and we couldn’t have loved our experience with Brielle any more! She responded quickly, we were able to meet via zoom and see the puppies before hand and pick up was super easy! She has done a fantastic job setting this pup up for a successful and happy life and provided us with great resources to continue his trainings! We are so grateful to have found Hope Heelers! 💙
