I'm Amanda S., the breeder behind The Wiener Family located in Ocala, FL. At The Wiener Family ,we are passionate about breeding happy, healthy dachshund puppies that meet the highest standards. Our breeding program focuses on extensive DNA testing and veterinary care to ensure every puppy is healthy, has a wonderful temperament, and adheres to breed standards.
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding thanks to Luna, my first dachshund. She changed everything for me. Her loyalty, personality, and the joy she brought into our home made me realize that dachshunds were more than just pets they were family. I wanted to share that feeling with others by raising happy, healthy puppies that would become someone else’s best friend.
What makes your program special?
What makes my program special is the love and time I pour into each dog and every puppy. Each of our dogs live in our home and sleep in a designated area just for them. They’re part of our daily lives and are well socialized with children and family routines. I focus on health, temperament, and early development to ensure every puppy leaves ready to thrive in their forever home.
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 piebald, sable, cream, black, chocolate, blue and tan, fawn (isabella) and tan, chocolate and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
