Lion's Gate Dachshunds

Stephanie W.

Breeder of Dachshunds

Meet the breeder

I'm Stephanie W., the breeder behind Lion's Gate Dachshunds located in Fletcher, NC. Our dogs and puppies are raised in our home and are loved as family. We spend countless hours with each of our litters, socializing and caring for our puppies to prepare them for their forever homes. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too!

Q. & A. with Stephanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My grandmother bred Manchester terriers and my fahter breeds AKC champion beagles.

  • What makes your program special?

    We pay attention to blood lines for conformation, but our first priority is temperament. Few people show their dogs, but everyone will have their pet around a wide range of people. With five children still at home, your puppy should always be comfortable with kids. We begin house training as well.

  • 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.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

“Price includes vet check, de-worming, vaccinations by the breeder unless you prefer to use your own, beginning house training, socialization from children and adults. Daily stimulation. Daily exposure to the sounds of a normal household. Many repeat families from our many years. Happy to provide references! I do not take deposits until the puppies are at least a week old. Deposits are refundable until the puppy is 5 weeks of age. I generally refund the full amount if I am able to place the puppy with another family quickly. We will never ask for a deposit until we have done a FaceTime, in-person, or other video visit.”
