Meet the breeder

I'm Wendy S., the breeder behind Wendy's Weenies located in Franklin, TN. My goal is to responsibly breed and raise my puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing which dogs to breed, including health, temperament, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.

Q. & A. with Wendy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started off fostering mama cats for a local animal control center. Through that experience, I learned how important it is for mothers and their babies to have appropriate prenatal and postnatal care to ensure the babies get the best start in life. Breeding allows me to select for traits that will improve the health of the Dachshund breed for future generations.

  • What makes your program special?

    Health is my number one priority. I want your four-legged friends to have a high-quality life and remain active into old age. Because of this, all of my breeding dogs participate in the OFA CHIC program and have the basic health screening tests recommended by the Dachshund Club of America.

  • 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 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, chocolate, brindle, fawn (isabella) and tan, chocolate and tan, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers, so choosing a responsible, ethical breeder was a top priority for us. We can’t recommend Wendy enough. She was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, thorough, and just an overall joy to work with throughout the process. The love and joy she puts into her livelihood radiates through every pup. We love our little bundle of sunshine with every ounce of our being, and we’re eternally grateful to Wendy for bringing him into our lives!

    Wendy was so nice and responsive! Easy to work with and she raises amazing dogs! We have loved our little Dottie. She is feisty but gentle with our children which is what we most wanted!

    Wendy was wonderful to work with, and we went home with a well-mannered, sweet-tempered and healthy puppy. Our long-time family vet noted that he looked like he was in great condition and that you could tell that the breeder cared for him well. We couldn’t agree more and are very happy with our new family member.
