Meet the breeder

I'm Selena H., the breeder behind Howard Hounds located in Louisville, KY. Welcome to Howard Hounds Longhair Dachshunds, located in Northern Kentucky. I am Selena Howard-Narang, a small, in-home breeder of miniature and standard longhair dachshunds with a focus on true breed types - long & low.

Q. & A. with Selena

  • What makes your program special?

    We are constantly learning and attending continuing education in nutrition, orthopedics (IVDD), behavior, vaccinations, & overall health related to the dachshund breed. I strive for breeding versatility to create a healthy, conformationally correct longhair dachshund with the ability to excel not only in the ring but also in the field. My goals ensure that you will have a well-rounded companion.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. 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 piebald, red, chocolate and tan, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
