Meet the breeder

I'm Wheat Farms D., the breeder behind Wheat Farms Dachshunds located in Mount Vernon, AR. We are a small breeding program dedicated to bettering the Dachshund breed.

Our dogs are fully health tested and we are deeply committed to breeding for sound structure, excellent health, and outstanding temperaments.

Q. & A. with Wheat Farms

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always had a passion for raising puppies and after helping a few fellow breeders whelp and raise their litters I decided breeding was a huge passion of mine and that I was going to devote myself to it. I have a strong love for the dachshund breed and I am devoted to bettering the breed through my breeding.

  • What makes your program special?

    All of our puppies are raised using the Puppy Culture program to give them the best start in life. As a former professional dog trainer, I bring a strong foundation in early development to our program. We introduce important skills such as potty training, crate training, and confidence-building exercises from an early age, setting our puppies up for a smooth transition into their new homes.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
