Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Wendy's Weenies located in Franklin, TN. My goal is to responsibly raise and train my puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.

Wendy’s experience

  • About Wendy

    I started off as a cat person, but my first Dachshund, Franco, converted me into a dog person too! Dachshunds are like chips and you can't have just one! :) I love their silly antics and how devoted they are to their family.

  • What makes Wendy’s program special

    Health is my number one priority. I want your four-legged friends to have a high-quality life and to remain active into old age.

More about Wendy

  • Why Wendy started breeding

Breeding allows me to select for traits that will improve the health of the Dachshund breed for future generations.
