Lion's Gate Dachshunds

Lion's Gate Dachshunds True family raised, hands-on breeder of fine dachshund puppies. AKC only since 1985. Small and experienced breeders of AKC dachshunds only for 26 years.

We stay small so we can focus on temperament, socialization, and make sure we give all of our doggies the love they deserve. We look for the best pedigrees but offer our puppies at reasonable prices. Both full AKC and limited registration available. All puppies are raised in the house, vet checked, vaccinated, and are beginning their house training.

Another beautiful woman who loved dachshunds has gone to heaven. Krista Cogburn, who proceeded her to heaven, trusted me with full AKC rights. And because of that Ree Reid did as well. When I had to apologize for mistakes to Ree, she freely forgave. Two more women who battled cancer valiantly. Neither lost the ultimate battle because both knew where they would spend forever. When your relationship is about dachshunds but ages in your love for God, it is so much sweeter.

HAD to share this picture of a Lydia puppy as he is growing up! Brew, you are a handsome boy! Thank you for sharing, Emi...

THE TEARS BEHIND EVERY DOG BREEDER’S JOURNEY

People see the strong dogs... the perfect litters… the big kennel names.
But they never see the tears behind it all.

They don’t see the sleepless nights beside a fading puppy…
The heartbreak when a breeding fails after months of planning…
The pain of losing a dog that carried your dream in its bloodline.

Breeding isn’t fame. It’s faith, sacrifice, and scars.
It’s giving your heart to lives that can’t speak but understand you deeper than words.

Every true breeder knows that pain, the one you hide behind a proud smile.
Because only breeders know what it means to cry over a whelping box and still rise again.

So when you see a strong kennel…
Remember, it was built with love, loss, discipline, and tears.

Behind every great dog…
There’s a breeder who gave a part of their heart beat.
