Meet the breeder

I'm Alyssa S., the breeder behind Shotgun Pups located in Purdy, MO. Our dogs are raised hands-on to ensure they receive the foundation they need to thrive physically, mentally, and socially. We believe those qualities matter just as much as appearance, because a truly exceptional dog should be sound-minded, dependable, and physically impressive.

Q. & A. with Alyssa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    What started as simply owning and loving dogs quickly turned into years of studying pedigrees, genetics, behavior, health, and breed standards. The deeper I dug, the more I realized how important responsible breeding truly is. A well-bred dog doesn't happen by accident-it comes from planning, experience, honesty, and being willing to put the breed above ego.
  • What makes your program special?

    What truly separates our program is the level of thought and dedication behind it. We're extremely selective about the dogs I keep, the bloodlines we incorporate, and the homes our puppies go to. We believe quality matters & We're committed to continuously improving with every generation. My dogs aren't just bred-they're built with Purpose.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Dachshund puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
