About Lakeshore Dachshunds
A family breeder on the shores of Mountain Home, Arkansas, dedicated to raising exceptional dachshunds.
More Than a Breeder
Lakeshore Dachshunds was born from a deep love for the breed. What started as a family pet quickly became a passion for preserving the health, temperament, and beauty of miniature long-haired dachshunds.
Located on the shores of Mountain Home in Arkansas, our dogs live as part of our family. They play in our yard, nap on our couch, and are loved by our children every single day.
Our Story
We have been raising dachshunds for over a decade, and every year deepens our commitment to this wonderful breed. Our journey began with our first dachshund, Gretel, and has grown into a small, intentional breeding program focused on quality over quantity.
Our Values
Three principles guide everything we do:
- Health First — Every breeding decision starts with comprehensive health testing. We never cut corners.
- Temperament Matters — Our dogs are selected for their stable, affectionate personalities. A beautiful dog with a poor temperament helps no one.
- Lifetime Support — When you adopt from us, you join our extended family. We are here for questions, advice, and support for the life of your dog.
The Lakeshore Difference
What sets us apart is our commitment to raising puppies in a true home environment. No kennels, no shortcuts. Our puppies are handled daily from birth, exposed to household sounds, children, and other animals. This early socialization produces confident, well-adjusted companions who transition smoothly into their forever homes.
We are proud to be AKC-registered and maintain the highest standards in our breeding program. We welcome visitors and are always happy to answer questions about our dogs, our process, or the breed in general.
