Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon N., the breeder behind Whinebark Dachshunds LLC located in Denver, CO. Breeding is a lifelong commitment. Our puppies are raised in our home with love, ENS, socialization, and purposeful enrichment. We focus on health, temperament, and lifelong support, raising cherished family companions—not just puppies.

Q. & A. with Shannon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When my children grew up and my home grew quieter, my heart found its way to miniature Dachshunds. What began as a simple love soon became a true passion, filling my days with laughter, companionship, and purpose. To me, they are family, not just pets. Every puppy is raised with love, patience, and gentle care, with the hope they bring their new families the same joy they’ve brought to mine.

  • What makes your program special?

    We keep our breeding program intentionally small so every puppy receives the love and attention they deserve. Raised in our home with enrichment and daily socialization, we raise future family members—not just puppies. We thoughtfully match each puppy with the right family and offer lifelong support. We love each one uniquely

  • 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 longhaired, smooth, and wirehaired 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, sable, cream, red, chocolate, fawn (isabella), fawn (isabella) and tan, chocolate and cream, blue and cream, black and cream, fawn (isabella) and cream, black and tan, gray (blue) and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
