Q. & A. with Jeffrey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I became friends with a dog breeder, and he gave me the chance to assist him with his dogs. I immediately fell in love with all the dogs. I guess one breed that really stood out to me was the Dachshund and so that's why I started breeding these dogs. Now I am raising the cutest little Dachshund puppies!
  • What makes your program special?

    Our Dachshunds are not just dogs - they are part of our family! We could not imagine a day in our life without our dear dachshund friends! We strive to better the breed by breeding responsibly.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red, chocolate, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in a kennel on my property.

    I had a wonderful experience purchasing my puppy through Jeffrey. You can tell he really loves what he does. My puppy River is absolutely perfect! I am so so so happy and would definitely recommend Jeffrey/Iowa Dachshunds!

    Jeffery was very responsive and explained things well which made the process much easier. I would highly recommend. We love our miniature dachshund Padmé. She loves taking her naps but definitely enjoys playing tug a war with her 60 lb new brother Ollie who is a Standard Australian Shepherd.

    Jeffrey made brining our boy home the easiest process! Eugene is the best puppy we could’ve ever gotten. He is very smart and of course cute as can be. I feel so lucky to have saw him on Jeffrey’s profile! I couldn’t recommend getting a puppy from him more!
