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.

    I cannot speak highly enough of my interactions with Wendy. She was so patient and kind about all of my questions and kept me regularly updated with Lulus growth and progress. Her love of what she does is evident in how wonderfully behaved and intelligent Lulu is. Her demeanor and temperament are beautiful. She is a puppy who is eager to learn and inquisitive about the world. Wendy truly does care about the quality of genetics in her puppies. The health of her litters is clearly evident with my Miss Lulu. She is beautiful, her eyes are bright and focused, her coat is lusterous and so soft. We truly are so blessed to have found Miss Wendy and her weenies.

    We had such a great experience with Wendy. Communication was easy and she was always happy to answer questions. You can tell she genuinely cares about her dogs and puts a lot of love into raising them until they are ready for their forever home. Our puppy is happy, healthy, and settling in so well. We’re really grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a Good Dog breeder.

    Wendy is completely wonderful to work with, super accommodating, trustworthy, communicative, kind, and clearly took amazing care of our sweet puppy during his first months of life! Though raising a doxie puppy is one of the most challenging ventures of our life lol, it is also amazingly rewarding. All in all, we could not be happier!!

    My experience with Wendy from Wendy’s Weenies has been absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the moment I reached out, Wendy was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about her pups. She kept me updated every step of the way and made the entire process so smooth and reassuring. And then came my boy Chip, my darling little bundle of chaos and charm. He arrived healthy, happy, and full of personality. You can tell he was raised with love and care because he adjusted so quickly and has the sweetest temperament (mixed with just the right amount of mini doxie mischief!). Wendy made sure I had everything I needed, answered all my questions, and truly went above and beyond. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more perfect pup. If you’re looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about her dogs and her families, look no further. Thank you, Wendy, for giving me my precious boy Chip. He’s already so loved! 🐾❤️

    Wendy was great to work with . She answered all of our questions about Willy. We have had Willy about two weeks now. He is very social and gets along with other dogs and people. I highly recommend her.
