About Amanda
I'm a full time mom, partner and dachshund caregiver living out my passion in North Dakota. I love spending quality time and being active with my family and our pack. It's a busy and often hectic life, but I always do my best to make sure I relax by putting my feet up and pampering myself with a dachshund powered heated and weighted blanket while studying my favorite subjects!
What makes Amanda’s program special
Most importantly, we are dedicated to producing genetically healthy puppies that have a chance to live full lives and we not only provide a health guarantee, but lifetime support. We choose breeding pairs meant to enhance positive features, working toward improving the breed quality standards. All of our puppies are raised underfoot in our home and are socialized with other dogs and my young son.
