I'm the breeder behind Garage Door Kennels located in Tennessee. Our small kennel is nestled on our little piece of property of a little over an acre with plenty of room for all of our dogs to run and play. We converted our garage into a small oasis kennel complete with artificial turf, AC and Heat, and cozy brick like accents on the walls. We love Dachshunds and German Shepherds. I grew up with German Shepherds and I got my first dachshund almost 15 years ago when I graduated high school. After that we immediately fell in love with the breed. Our dogs are our family and are very near to our hearts. All of our dogs are health and genetic tested before breeding as we strive to breed quality dogs to live long, healthy, and happy lives. All of our pups are raised inside and are handled from birth. They are socializing a lot with other dogs and people during their first 8 weeks of life to ensure an easy transition into their new homes. All puppies go to their new homes at 8 weeks with their first set of shots, dewormer, and a health guarantee.
Lauren has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,300 - $2,800 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
Lauren may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.

Certified Good Dog breeders ensure their puppies are healthy and ready for their new homes. Puppies receive the appropriate vaccinations and are dewormed or have a clear fecal exam before they leave. While Garage Door Kennels hasn’t shared details about their specific health practices yet, we encourage you to reach out to learn more about how they care for their puppies.
We send our puppies home with Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Registration, Initial potty training, Food & treats, Basic obedience & manners, and Vet records.
