Why did you start breeding?
9 years ago my sister and her husband got a miniature long hair black and tan dachshund. We fell in love with him. We decided to move to Arkansas to be close to them. In 2019 we got our first little female Dachshund and male Dachshund. We decided we wanted to breed them and share the love!
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are loved so much that when they have puppies... these puppies are already the most lovable, friendly and confident puppies you will ever meet!
I also introduce the puppy pad at 3 weeks so that their new owners will be and have been so impressed at how quickly they had caught on. I also have lots of fabulous stories of how their new families came into their lives forever!

Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Our puppies include longhaired and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

This was my first time ever working with a breeder and I can truly say that I am glad I found Sherri. She was amazing to work with and I can tell that she loves her dogs and loves what she does. She always communicated with me about my pup and answered all my questions I had. My dog is currently 1 year and I can say that going with Sherri was the best option I could have gone with. My pup was already puppy pad trained which made things easier around the house, used to eating puppy kibble and was/still is a very healthy and happy dog :) Big thanks to Sherri, I highly recommend her if you're looking for a mini dachshund.

Mrs. Sherri was so sweet and took care of me every step of the way! The process was very easy and she always was willing to FaceTime to show my puppy and give me updates. Constantly keeping me updated. You can tell she and her husband truly love all of the dogs. I couldn’t recommend more!!

Right after messaging Sherri invited me to FaceTime to chat and see the pup. She was very kind and knowledgeable. It was clear from the call and meeting her and her husband in person that they care for and love all their dogs. I am so glad I got my first dog of my own from Sherri. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect dog than little Ieor! He is not only as cute as can be but very well mannered, playful, and cuddly.
