I'm Terri F., the breeder behind Ripley Hill located in Scott, NY. We’re a home-based breeder of Dachshunds who love showing our dogs in the daytime just as much as cuddling with them at night. I do not breed my dogs until they are finished showing. My dogs are part of my family and have access to the whole house and yard. I am dedicated to placing my puppies with the perfect families!
Q. & A. with Terri
Why did you start breeding?
My goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Dachshund will continue to move forward for generations to come. I fell in love with this breed and want to give others the opportunity to fall in love with it, too.
What makes your program special?
I only breed dogs with good top lines and heritage. They must demonstrate good movement, front, and have finished showing. Temperament is also important. I am committed to only breeding dogs that meet these strict guidelines for quality that we have deemed appropriate to improving this wonderful breed. I am dedicated to placing pups into perfect homes.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
