Welcome to the Shasta Dachshunds Web-site. I have been  raising  quality Dachshunds for the past fifteen years. Shasta Dachshunds is nestled just off Interstate  5  in  the  mountains  of  the California / Oregon border. We  are located at the base of the rolling hills on the  North side of a very small town called    Hornbrook.     Hornbrook     is    in   Siskiyou County,    California.    Prior    to     2003    I   raised Standard Dachshunds for fifteen years. Since 2003 I have been very involved with Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds. During 2002 I looked long and hard for the best Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds that I could find. I was looking for the best and nothing less. By the best I mean bloodlines, pedigrees, health and the standard set by the American Kennel Club, AKC. After a year of searching every kennel & breeder I could find, I purchased eight females and two males. All of them carry champion bloodlines and I cound not have wished for a better group of Minitaure Longhaired Dachshunds to work with! Shasta Dachshunds takes great pride in the quality of our Dachshunds. From their Pedigrees (Champions) to their looks (Conformation) they are some of the best. Their Pedigrees speak for themselves.

           The quality you'll find at Shasta Dachshunds is rare . Another unique aspect of our Dachshunds is how they are raised. Everyone of our Dachshunds lives indoors with the family. They come and go in the house as they please. Our  house has dog doors with a huge fenced yard. This is how we  raise  our  puppies as  well. So  all of our Dachshunds   and  puppies  are  very  socialized  by  the  time  we  start  looking  for  homes  for them. One of the best things about raising Miniature Long haired Dachshunds is raising the new puppies, from the  time they are born until the time they  leave. The  day  they  leave  for  their  new   home  is  the toughest  part  of  raising Dachshunds the way we do. Because  we  raise them in our house we get very close to them and it's always difficult to see them go. For this reason we find them the very best homes possible. Our  Dachshunds  are  also  raised  with our eleven year old Daughter.     She spends  a lot  of time with the Puppies. We also  have  two  labradors  who are a part     of the family. So   Shasta  Dachshund  Puppies come ready for young people and other dogs. Whether you're looking for a pet or a Miniature Longhaired Dachshund  for the show ring  you have found the right place. We have many refferences. I have  some listed on the  puppy page. I can also give you more refferences over the phone. Thank you for your interest in Shasta Dachshunds. Please click on the puppy page link above  to see  our new  puppies. Feel  free  to e-mail or phone me anytime if you have any questions.

My fiancé and I got our female dachshund, Scout, from Shasta Dachshunds at the beginning of June. And what a gorgeous, happy little girl she is! Scout (see Scout in our gallery) has a very sweet temperament and is both intelligent and playful. Her coloring is the most beautiful we\'ve ever seen in a dachshund. We can\'t go anywhere without people stopping us to admire her. She has quite the fan club in our neighborhood! We looked all over for the right breeder and are very happy with our decision to get a puppy from Shasta Dachshunds. Joe was extremely helpful every step of the way and he has a great deal of concern for the health and happiness of his beautiful dogs. We feel very lucky to have Scout in our lives and highly recommend Shasta Dachshunds for anyone looking for an outstanding dachshund!

Shasta Dachshunds has provided my elderly mother and I with the gift of a lifetime. That would be "Louie" (Chas), the gleaming, brindle cream, mini, long-haired dachshund. Being a quick learner with a very sweet disposition as well as being playful and affectionate, the guy is just downright handsome besides. His attachment to the family has been remarkable and the greeting upon returning home every day is uncomparable! After visiting several kennels and interacting with many adult and puppy doxies I can say Louie was bred with care and consideration. The Shasta Dachshunds are healthy and lovingly cared for by family members and it shows. Joe and Denise are great to work with as well, helping to match the right puppy with the right family. They are as conscientious and caring about their interactions with humans as they are with their doxies. We highly recommend any dachshund coming from Shasta Dachshunds.
