Meet the breeder

I'm Ann M., the breeder behind Mueller’s Mini Dachshunds located in Caldwell, ID. We are a family who loves Dachshunds! Our dogs are members of our family and we're excited to share a little piece of us with you! We have a passion for puppies that not only meet breed standards physically but also emotionally. Our goal is to better the Dachshund breed through ethical and moral breeding practices.

Q. & A. with Ann

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been involved in breeding many species—cows, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits and even cats. I enjoy the science of reproduction and the intricacies of genes are inherited and expressed. Breeding Dachshunds is a wonderful way to blend my passions—for reproduction and for the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    We take pride in being a smaller, family-run program that relies on science, genetics and breed standards. Our goal is to create puppies that not only improve the Dachshund breed but also make wonderful pets.

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

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
