Meet the breeder

I'm Kristi G., the breeder behind Sunflower Dachshunds located in Ada, MI. My dogs are, first and foremost, family companions. I am dedicated to creating an environment where my dogs are safe, healthy, happy, and loved. I aim to provide happy, healthy, and well-socialized puppies for others to welcome into their family. I love my pups and know you will love them, too!

Q. & A. with Kristi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    This dream started over ten years ago with lots of research and building relationships with excellent breeders. It is extremely important to me that I am always learning and trying to improve my breeding program and lines. This helps me provide the best possible experience for my dogs, puppies, and their future homes.

  • What makes your program special?

    My puppies are the top priority. I take the greatest care in ensuring each one gets special, individual attention every day. Their environment is clean, safe, and full of proper stimuli so they will thrive in their new homes. It would be an honor and a joy to introduce you to your newest family companion.

  • 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 colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, brindle, and black and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
