Meet the breeder

I'm Julie R., the breeder behind River Breeze Dachshunds located in Valley Springs, CA. We have been raising AKC miniature dachshunds for many years. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. We focus on conformation and intelligence. We are dedicated to providing our families with happy, healthy pups. Our pups are well socialized in our home with love.

Q. & A. with Julie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We rescued a miniature dachshund who was pregnant. We loved her back to good health and had a successful delivery of her pups. That started it all.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs live in our home. We have 5 acres. We have landscaped yards with beautiful trees and yards where our dogs run and play. They are doggie-door trained and have inside and outside access. They are well socialized and loved members of our family. All our dogs go through obedience training and have won many awards.
  • 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 cream, red, brindle, black and cream, chocolate and tan, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

“We take great care in placing each puppy with the right family. Puppies are matched once they are old enough for us to evaluate their temperaments and personalities. This usually occurs around 6-8 weeks.”

“The price include AKC registration, first puppy shots, deworming, puppy package, first 2 weeks of food and a written health guarantee. Prices depend on gender, conformation, color, markings and pedigree. Deposits are non-refundable, but can be transferred to another available puppy in the litter, or can be used for a puppy in a future litter.”

Contract & health guarantee
