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.

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.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We welcomed Olive to our family and have been trying to learn how to have a puppy. Wendy has been checking in on us daily to see how things are going. When Wendy welcomed us into her home, her dogs were extremely well taken care of and loved. Olive has been the sweetest addition to our family. We are so blessed to have had such an incredible experience!

Wendy was an amazing breeder to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable and very responsive to any question I had.. she was so welcoming and she told me that if I ever have any questions moving forward that she will always be available. That meant a lot to me especially since I’m a first time dog owner. She had the most adorable lineup of dogs at her house as well which was an added bonus. I am so so happy with my puppy!! I highly recommend Wendy as your next breeder. Oh, and she gives the cutest puppy goodie bag before she sends you off! So so sweet and if I get another daschund (which is very likely), I’ll be going to her.

Our puppy journey with Oakleys Dachshund Ranch was great. We are very pleased with the experience that Wendy provided. She responded to all our questions and made us feel very comfortable in addition to providing us with detailed information and start up puppy items for a smoother transition . I was impressed with her extra attention to even include a blanket that had scents from the puppy’s family litter. We now have a healthy, beautiful, and good temperament puppy that has brought great joy to our home.

We had excellent connection with Wendy from start to finish. We were about to communicate with her in daily basis and even made facial contact with our future pup. Recommend Wendy and love our dog. (Zoey). Thanks Wendy
