Meet the breeder
I'm Lisa A., the breeder behind Wintu Valley Miniature Dachshund's located in California. We chose miniature dachshunds to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities and temperament. We are a small, family-run program focusing on quality care and good health.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
I found a mentor who helped guide me in the right direction. I started attending dog shows, learning about pedigrees, structure, health testing, and what truly makes a quality dog. I wanted to do things the right way from the beginning, focusing on quality, temperament, and preserving the integrity of the breed.What makes your program special?
My program is special because my dogs are first and foremost family. My females live in my home, are loved as part of our family, and receive OFA health clearances and genetic testing. I believe breeding should be about more than producing puppies. It’s about prioritizing health, temperament, structure, and raising well-rounded puppies with a strong foundation.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.
Getting a puppy from Lisa
Lisa has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Lisa partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
“My matching policy is centered around finding the right fit for both the puppy and the family. I take the time to get to know each prospective family, their lifestyle, experience with dogs, and what they’re hoping for in a companion. I consider each puppy’s individual personality, temperament, and characteristics when making matches. My goal isn’t simply to place puppies, but to ensure each one goes to a loving, committed home where they can thrive for a lifetime. ”

About Olive
Olive has completed her health testing and OFA evaluations, and we couldn’t be happier with her! ❤️ She has the BEST temperament! Olive is wonderful with children, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and is truly everything we could ask for in a family member. Her sweet, loving personality is one of the many reasons we adore her. Temperament, health, and quality are always at the heart of our breeding program. 🐾
