We look forward to connecting to you!

Q. & A. with Lori

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Dachshunds and Shih Tzus. I strive to produce healthy, loving puppies for others to enjoy. It is an honor to represent these breeds and create opportunities for others to do just the same!

  • What makes your program special?

    All of my dogs are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets who are great companions for individuals and families alike. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I am trying to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for all of my puppies and their forever families.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We couldn't be happier with our little sweetie, Maple. Working with Lori was so easy. She is a happy, healthy girl and has a great temperament. We're over the moon with our sweet girl.

    Working with Lori was so easy! She was quick to answer any questions we had. The area was VERY clean and it's clear she takes very good care of her animals. We've had our baby for almost a week and she has the absolute best temperament, even her vet made a comment on just how well rounded she is. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The hardest part was the wait to pick her up!
