Meet the breeder

I'm Cyn S., the breeder behind The Puppy Cottage located in Upland, CA. We’re a small, family-based Mini Dachshund program focused on raising happy, well-loved puppies. Our puppies are raised in our home with hands-on care and daily attention from birth. Our goal is to give each puppy a wonderful start before joining their forever family.

Q. & A. with Cyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first experience raising a litter was with our Bull Terrier, & I loved being there through every part of it. When Dachshunds came back into my life as an adult, I knew this was a breed I wanted to raise someday. This is our first Dachshund litter, & getting to experience it with a breed I’ve loved since I was 15 has made it even more special.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised right alongside us. They sleep in our room with mama, my kids love on them, & I’m there for the late-night check-ins, feedings & everything in between. I’m very hands-on because these aren’t just puppies to us—they’re little babies we get to love & care for. When you take your puppy home, I want you to know they’ve known love from the very beginning.

  • 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 include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Can was great. Super quick to respond. Let us come out the first day we saw Waffle and let us visit more before she was ready to come home. Even kept her an extra two days because I had a work commitment

    From the beginning, Cyn was very communicative with answering all of our questions and making sure we both feel comfortable with each other. We scheduled a quick call, and I knew I felt an instant connection of trust that our Boulder came from a great home. We counted down the minute until we finally got to hold him. Cyn packed a really cute puppy bag for all the puppies so that every baby can feel as comfortable as possible in their new homes. Boulder is an amazing addition to our home, keeping up with his older Australian Shepherd brother. 11/10 recommend Cyn and the family. Our Boulder is a beautiful little dude.
