Randi’s experience

  • About Randi

    I have been a breeder for about 14 years. I breed longhair and short hair miniature dachshunds. My goal is to provide the healthiest & happiest puppies around. I strive to help each family find the perfect fit for them and give lifetime support.

  • What makes Randi’s program special

    We strive to preserve the breed to its standard, with health testing, temperament & conformation being our main focus. We start socializing at a very young age. Socialized puppies are more likely to grow up to be wonderful companions.

More about Randi

  • Why Randi started breeding

    Breeding has been my passion for 20 years and counting. It all started when I started working at a veterinarian clinic right out of high school. The veterinarian was a reproductive vet and a breeder. I learned the ends and outs of everything, from the whole birthing process, doing AI’s (artificial insemination) to delivering puppies through c sections. I mentored under her for several years. I was a veterinarian technician for a total of12 years. I started out breeding Great Danes. Danes short lifespan made it so hard on the heart… So I switched to my favorite breed, the Miniature Dachshund!!
