About Us

 
Located in northeast Iowa, Jenny's Dachshunds is a home-based breeder committed to quality and the joy of raising this wonderfully diverse and loving breed. 
 
Our adult dachshunds are family pets who live in our home.  They are not kennel dogs.  Puppies are socialized daily with adults and children ages 2 to 7 years old. 
 
All of our puppies are sold with a spay/neuter contract unless arrangements are made prior to the sale.  If limited AKC registration is requested, papers are mailed upon receipt of certificate of spay/neuter from a licensed veterinarian.  We do not knowingly sell to brokers, pet shops or puppy mills. 

 

AKC vs the Border Collie

Jenny's Dachshunds supports the efforts of traditional border collie breeders and enthusiasts  to refrain from breeding border collies to a conformation standard.  This wonderful breed was developed for their instinctual herding ability and to breed for looks diminishes the importance of the traits the border collie was initially developed for. 

 

 

 Designer Dogs
 Jenny's Dachshunds is a strong believer in maintaining the integrity of purebred dogs.  We do not condone or support the breeding of "designer dogs", although there is nothing wrong with crossbreds sold as such. My first dog was a crossbred and there has never been a more wonderful companion and friend.  Socks was one of a kind!  "Designer dogs" are not actual breeds and we believe marketing them as a breed with definable and reproducible characteristics is unethical. 
We support the true development of a new breeds by ethical breeders...something that takes generations of selective breeding and years of dedication and hard work before a "breed" will produce predictable results.  Simply puting any two dogs of the two different breeds together time and time again is not furthering the development of a true breed.
