Meet the breeder

I'm Wendy V., the breeder behind Oakley's Dachshund Ranch located in Plant City, FL. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. They are raised as part of the family and have plenty of exposure to people and other dogs before they go to their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Wendy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started with one Dachshund and fell in love with the breed. Then I got another and another... I love their big personalities in little packages. I started working with a local breeder with many years of experience and endless information to help in starting my breeding program.

  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is special because all of my dogs are my family. My goal is to produce the healthiest puppies with the best temperament so that more people can enjoy the breed that I love so much.

  • 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.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Wendy was very responsive and consistently sent us updated pictures of our puppy. As a 1st time puppy buyer, she made things so simple and enjoyable.

    We had such a wonderful experience with Wendy. We found the perfect baby and after so many scams we were excited when Wendy asked if we wanted to set up a call to see our baby girl. From that moment on everything was so seamless. Wendy was extremely knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, but also asked the right questions to ensure that Oakley was the perfect fit for our home. It was nice to work with someone who wanted to make sure their puppy was going to a great home and not just in it to collect money. When we picked up Oakley we were invited into their home and got to meet Oakley’s mommy and daddy as well as brother. Wendy again took time with us to ensure we knew everything and checked in for the days that followed. I am so happy with the entire experience and could not recommend her more!

    I'm grateful to have connected with Wendy through Good Dog. She went above and beyond - providing regular text updates and photos throughout the process. What impressed me most was her thoughtfulness in asking about the puppy's name early on so she could use it immediately to help with bonding, such a nice touch! Her dachshund expertise and responsiveness to my questions have made the whole process smooth and reassuring; her knowledge is invaluable. I truly can't say enough good things about Wendy, she is a gem and we are forever grateful for our Lola.
