Meet the breeder
I'm Amanda P., the breeder behind Silver State Dachshunds located in Fallon, NV. Our puppies are loved and raised in our home. We are active in AKC conformation showing and focus on breeding to the AKC Dachshund Standard. Our dogs have completed all recommended health testing by the Dachshund Club of America. Testing complete through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals.
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
I began this journey in 2024. I have a love for Dachshunds and knew in my heart I would love to be part of preserving this beautiful breed, but I wanted to do it the 'RIGHT' way. But my big question to myself was, "What is the 'right' way?" That's where my studying started and throwing myself into the AKC Conformation world began.What makes your program special?
I've learned that there are not many breeder's in my state that are active in AKC Conformation. If you aren't out in the ring, first hand experiencing and learning, then how do you know what is 'correct conformation'? I take pride in actively pursuing knowledge, experience, and mentors to learn from. All dogs have full OFA health certifications recommended by the Dachshund Club of America.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 have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Dove
Dove is our house princess! She has a soft, loving and loyal personality. However, she is always one of the first ones to start a good play tussle with the other dogs. She is the dog that I learned to compete in AKC shows with and she has the best temperament and is so eager to please. Dove earned her Puppy of Achievement Award while showing in AKC Conformation. An intelligent, loyal, and well rounded girl.
