I'm Leigh S., the breeder behind Wildwynn Dachshunds located in Franklinton, NC. After 40 years of raising, showing and selling top quality welsh ponies, I switched over to my first love which is the longhair dachshund. I am an AKC Breeder of Merit, I train and handle all my dogs myself as well as a few for others. As a veterinary technologist, my dog’s health is top priority as is their happiness. References are abundant and available.

Leigh was the best ever to work with !
I was very fortunate to have found Leigh!
She was very responsive to all my questions and calls. She made time for us to come see our new pup before we got him.
Leigh is extremely knowledgeable with raising and caring for her Doxies.
I was able to see her kennel where all the dogs and pups were. Clear to see all of her pups are healthy and well cared for .
She provides interaction with the pups.
I appreciated seeing our pups Mom and Dad on site. Leigh is very in tune with the history of her pups. She quoted a long family history of our pups Dad.
I couldn’t have found anyone better than Leigh. She truly loves her pups and it shows. I highly recommend Leigh at Wildwynn Doxies if you are contemplating a Doxie!
She breeds her dogs with good intent on the pups personality and appearance .
All of her dogs were very social and approachable! And, an important fact for me was that she doesn’t breed the same female over and over. She knows how to provide premium pups!
Our new pup is now 10 weeks old and we are in love with this little fella!
If Doxies are your thing then definitely contact Leigh !!!
You will be glad you did !
