I'm the breeder behind Long Dog Farm located in Colton, OR. We offer AKC registered purebred miniature Dachshunds. Our focus is on temperament, and top quality confirmation. Embark tested. We breed to preserve the unique characteristics of the Dachshund while considering a variety of traits, including health, conformation, and temperament.
