Meet the breeder
I'm Shawnee D., the breeder behind Rockindachs located in Toquerville, UT. Since 2014, we’ve purpose-raised Miniature Dachshunds built for Rock-Solid Health and Unwavering Character. Every companion comes backed by a lifetime health guarantee and a family that supports yours — not just at go-home, but for life.
Q. & A. with Shawnee
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding is in my bones. Growing up on a hobby farm with horses, goats, rabbits, and more breeds of dogs than I can count, animal care was simply life. Assisting my mom’s breeding program from childhood into adulthood gave me a foundation most spend decades trying to build. RockinDachs is where that lifetime of learning found its true home.What makes your program special?
At 7 weeks every pup undergoes our 4-point temperament assessment — measuring connection, compliance, confidence, and drive — so we can match each companion to the family they’ll truly thrive with. Paired with DNA testing, a lifetime health guarantee, and support for the life of your dog, we don’t just place puppies. We set families up for life.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 include wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, red, black, chocolate, brindle, black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Litter and program updates

Program update on 14 May •…The Radiant Juvenile Enrollment – Sapphire Tier At RockinDachs, we believe in the "Radiant Legacy"—placing the right family member, not just conducting a transaction. We currently have two older juvenile males available who are perfect for families looking to skip the fragile newborn stage but who still want the full "puppy experience." The Current Gems: • Saffron (Male | 7 Months): A joyful, high-energy boy who loves people. • Phoenix (Male | 5 Months): Spirited and adventurous with a zest for life. The "Sapphire" Profile: These Gems are being offered at our Sapphire Tier ($2,950). While they are physically more mature than a nursery graduate, they are still very much "puppy-minded." • Training Status: They have a solid foundation for the "Sit" command and have begun crate and potty foundations. However, they are still "Work-in-Progress" companions. They possess high energy, lack long-term focus, and will jump for joy until reminded of their expectations. • Health: They have completed two rounds of their puppy vaccination series. Buyers will be responsible for completing their final boosters and Rabies. • Ideal Match: Best suited for active owners who enjoy the engagement of training and are ready to lead a high-spirited "teenage" Dachshund through their impulse-control milestones. The RockinDachs Difference: • Lifetime Genetic Healthcare Guarantee (excluding IVDD). • Temperament evaluated for "The Radiant Legacy." • Strict "No-Cargo Shipping" policy (Flight Nanny or Local Pickup only). Next Steps: Please visit our profile to review our health testing and program standards. If you feel your lifestyle matches the energy of these vibrant juveniles, please submit an application to begin our Compatibility Evaluation. 💎

Program update on 11 Apr •…The Final Oregon Chapter As the sun sets on our final weekend in the Pacific Northwest, we are preparing to close the "Jewel Box" for our transition to the desert. While our journey south begins soon, our public enrollment for local Oregon homecomings concludes this evening. The Sapphire Opportunity Saffron, Cumin, and Phoenix remain our final maturing males available for local placement. These Gems offer a unique opportunity for families who want a physically stable companion—past the early nursery stages—ready to begin their legacy in a new home today. A Radiant Pause To ensure the safety of our family and the intentional care of our Gems during travel, RockinDachs will be entering a brief social media blackout starting tomorrow. We will be offline for the next 14 days as we settle into our new Arizona sanctuary and begin the boys' transition into their Emerald Tier milestones. The Final Window If you have been waiting to welcome a RockinDachs companion before we transition to the high desert, this is your final opportunity to inquire. We are prioritizing final evaluations this afternoon for homecomings through the early part of the week. We look forward to reconnecting with you all from the red rocks of Cane Beds in late April. 💎
Shawnee D.
Program update on 06 Apr •…The Radiant Horizon The RockinDachs Legacy is returning to its roots. This week marks our final days in the Pacific Northwest as we prepare to relocate our "Jewel Box" to the iconic red rocks of Cane Beds, Arizona. This journey brings our program full circle, returning to the landscapes where our vision first began. 🏜️ The 7-Day Oregon Window To ensure a smooth transition for our family and our Gems, we are closing local Oregon homecomings in exactly 7 days. If you are a PNW family currently on our Legacy List or have been waiting to welcome a companion without the need for air travel, this is your final opportunity for a Cave Junction or Medford (MFR) homecoming. After this week, all evaluations and placements will pause until we are fully established in our new Arizona sanctuary. We are trading the pines for the desert sun, and we couldn't be more excited for this next chapter. 💎

Litter update on 17 Mar •…The Warm Spice Homecoming Our Saturday was spent focused on the safe relocation of the Warm Spice litter from Washington to their new home here in Cave Junction, Oregon. Transitioning a litter requires time, patience, and a focus on their emotional well-being, and we are thrilled to report they have settled in beautifully. With this relocation comes the next phase of their development. We are proud to share that these Gems have already mastered two major milestones: utilizing the dog door and settling calmly in a closed crate. Evaluation & Enrollment Currently, the Warm Spice litter remains at our Sapphire Tier ($2,950). This is the ideal window for families who wish to be the primary architect of their puppy’s continued training and bonding. As these pups continue to meet our 4-Point Check milestones and progress in their crate and potty conditioning, they will eventually graduate to the Emerald Tier. Once a Gem advances, their enrollment investment increases to reflect their higher level of education and competency. Next Steps We invite you to view the individual profiles of the Warm Spice Litter. To be matched with a specific puppy, please contact us to begin your Compatibility Evaluation. 💎

Litter update on 17 Dec 2025 •…Milestone Update: The Warm Spice Litter has Advanced to Sapphire. At RockinDachs, our pricing reflects the development stage and curriculum level of each Companion. As of this week, the available puppies from the Warm Spice Litter (Brownie x Bear Cub) have officially graduated from the Garnet Tier (8 Weeks) to the Sapphire Tier (10 Weeks). What does Sapphire Level mean for you? These puppies have now completed two additional weeks of our "Silver Linings" curriculum. This is a critical developmental window where we shift focus from infant exposure to reinforced routines. - Extended Crate Conditioning: They are building duration and confidence in their resting spaces. Sleep Routines: They are settling into a more predictable rhythm, bridging the gap between "infant" and "companion." - Vaccinations: They have begun their second round of veterinary care. - Current Status: The Warm Spice puppies are now available at the Sapphire Tier ($3,850). If you have been looking for a puppy who is slightly past the fragile 8-week stage and has a stronger foundation in crate and sleep training, this is the ideal window to bring them home. To inquire about a Sapphire Companion: Please submit a Legacy Home Enrollment application or reply to this message. Shawnee 💎 RockinDachs

Program update on 10 Dec 2025 •…A massive new chapter for RockinDachs. If you have noticed my replies coming at odd hours (or a little slower than usual), thank you for your patience. To say life has been a "whirlwind" is an understatement. Between chasing a busy 13-month-old, navigating family health challenges (ALS), and physically moving our entire life—and pack!—across state lines, things have been chaotic. But we have officially landed! New Location: We are now based in Cave Junction, Oregon. We have updated our location settings, so if you are local to the PNW, we are now your neighbors. The "Radiant Legacy" Rebrand: While things were quiet, we were busy building. RockinDachs has officially rebranded to reflect our commitment to Functional Health and Unwavering Character. We have updated our contracts and waitlist procedures to better protect our "Legacy Companions" and provide you with a clearer, safer path to bringing a puppy home. Current Availability: • The Warm Spice Litter: We currently have 4 beautiful puppies available from our Brownie x Bear Cub pairing. These "Gems" are ready to find their dedicated families. • The Silver Linings Litter: Enrollment is officially OPEN for our newest arrivals. Applications: I am catching up on all messages and applications this week! Thank you for sticking with us through the move. We are back, we are settled, and we are ready to help you find your match. With Love & Legacy, Shawnee 💎

Litter update on 29 Sept 2025 •…A change in external family circumstances has lovingly brought two of our RockinDachs back into our care—and what treasures they are! Meet Hans and August (formerly Samson and Elijah from June and Harvey’s beautiful litter). These boys are a dynamic duo—sweet, affectionate, and brimming with the excellent, rock-solid temperament our foundation is built on. They returned simply because their previous owner's family decided having small, active dogs in the home was no longer safe for her as she aged. Since they've been together their whole lives, we hold the initial hope of finding them a single rock-solid family to cherish them both. Ultimately, our mission is about finding the absolute right fit for their bright futures. We'll happily consider two exceptional families if it means Hans and August can continue to thrive as the radiant, loyal companions they are destined to be. If you're ready to welcome one or two "gems" into your heart, please reach out.

We had a great experience with Shawnee and her co-breeder. Everything worked out well and our not-pup is a beautiful. Wonderful companion that walked into our house and took over, a Dachshunds tend to do. Brownie is already a big part of our family and we chat with our breeders steadily. It couldn't have been a better experience.

Shawnee was very responsive, knowledgeable and actively communicated with me through the entire process! My pup was well cared for, healthy and very happy! After I picked up our sweet pup she was still available to answer any questions or give advice. I’d highly recommend working with her!

+7Shawnee was amazing. But beyond that, our little puppy is amazing complete wonder - she is beautiful, and so so smart. When our other two dogs passed, we had a large void in our life to fill. But Hilda came along and she has done that and more. I would highly recommend Rockindachs - logistics were so easy, Shawnee was super friendly and helpful, and the breeding is top notch. Can’t say enough good things!

I am so thankful that we found Rockindachs for our family’s first ever daschund. Millie has been such an amazing little pup, and she is the perfect fit for our family. I really appreciated that they did temperament/personality testing and mentioned that Millie would be perfect for first time owners. She is the perfect mix of playful/snuggly for our home. I have also appreciated Shawnee’s continued help even after we brought Millie home. She has answered many of my questions, and it has been comforting to have that experienced advice during the puppy stages. It has all around been a great experience getting our girl through Rockindachs, and we can’t wait to continue to spoil her for many years to come.

Shawnee was very responsive and kept me updated on Scout and me every week. The process was flawless to pick up our dog. Very accommodating and was a breeze when picking up Scout. Shawnee gave us his updated medical history and a box that helped us on the flight back home. Amazing lil guy as he fit right in. We kept the name Scout after learning how he got the name from the cobreeder
