I'm Rhonda S., the breeder behind Simply Happy Dachshunds located in Pauls Valley, OK. We love helping families find the perfect puppy and take pride in being responsible breeders devoted to raising healthy, happy dogs.
Q. & A. with Rhonda
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because my family fell in love with this breed’s personality and loyalty. We decided to raise puppies responsibly so other families could experience that same love and joy.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised right in the middle of our family life. They grow up around children, everyday noise, and lots of love, which helps them transition easily into their new homes. We stay connected with our families and offer support long after the puppies leave.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. 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.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

“Puppies will come microchipped, with their 6 week and 8 week vaccinations and deworming completed, and a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. My puppies are PET ONLY - NO BREEDING RIGHTS. I require a signed contract and copy of drivers license or identification card upon completion of sale.
