I'm Lauren Y., the breeder behind Luyala Dachshunds located in Stockton Springs, ME. Our dogs are our beloved companions. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible Dachshund breeders. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
My interest in breeding began when I bought the sweetest, but unfortunately poorly bred puppy for my sister as a Mothers Day gift. She was unable to keep her due to allergies, so Hazel became ours. I fell in love with her and all of her quirks. As I began researching the breed more in depth, I could see her faults. I decided that breeding healthy and amazing pets was going to be my goal.
What makes your program special?
I breed with structure, temperament, and health in mind, while striving to improve.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
