Welcome to
​DESPLINTER DACHSHUNDS

We are a small town breeder of smooth and longhaired miniature dachshunds. We purchased our first smooth red miniature dachshund, Winnie Wiener, in 2007, after raising and breeding Labradors for years. We fell in love with the breed and purchased our second Isabella tan miniature dachshund in 2011. It was then that we decided to start our breeding program in 2014. 

AJ owns DeSplinter Carpentry and I (Carolyn) have been in law enforcement for 25 years. We live in the Country and have over an acre of yard for our dogs to run and play in. We have two adult children that have grown up in the house with our dogs and pups, who now both have dachshunds of their own. 

¨We just took Stevie on her first road trip 7 hours to Ohio and she was absolutely perfect . She is the most happy go lucky little Doxie I have ever had. Again, thank you so much for her.¨

​All our dogs are raised in our home and sleep in our beds. We do not kennel our dogs. Our puppies are socialized with our pack, adult children, and our immediate families' wiener dogs. 
I am an AKC Breeder with H.E.A.R.T (Health, Education, Accountability, Responsibility, and Tradition). All our dogs are Genetically health tested. 

Our breeding program aims to produce healthy, well-tempered dogs that make excellent pets. We love our pups and you will too!
