We sure think they bring happiness even if they are being crazy. 💎

And just like that… we have sight.

We are thrilled to officially introduce the Silver Linings Litter.

These companions were born during a season of massive transition for our family and our program.

True to their name, they have been the bright, hopeful spark—the "Silver Lining"—guiding us into this new chapter in Oregon.

Current Milestones (2 Weeks Old):

• Eyes Opening: They are beginning to see the world for the first time.

• Mobility: They are starting to wobble and find their legs, transitioning from helpless infants to curious explorers.

• Pigment: We have a stunning spectrum of color, from rich Black & Tans to Piebalds. We are especially excited to watch Phoenix, whose genetics have removed all black pigment. Like a developing photograph, his coat will deepen over the coming weeks into a rich, coppery red.

The Lineup:
Meet Beacon, Dawn, Nova, and Phoenix. 🌲

Enrollment Status:
The Silver Linings litter is officially OPEN for enrollment.

These puppies are currently in the Garnet Tier, meaning they are on track to head to their new homes at 8 weeks old (Late January).

If you are ready to add a "Legacy Companion" to your family in early 2026, now is the time to secure your priority spot.

A little grace, a lot of gratitude, and a massive new chapter.

If you’ve noticed my replies coming at odd hours (or a little slower than usual), thank you for your patience. To say life has been a "whirlwind" is an understatement.

Between chasing a busy 13-month-old, navigating the heavy realities of ALS in our family, and physically moving our entire life—and pack!—across state lines, things have been chaotic.

We have officially landed in beautiful Cave Junction, Oregon!
We waved goodbye to Utah and are settling into our new roots here in the PNW.

But while things were quiet on social media, we were busy building behind the scenes.
RockinDachs has officially Rebranded.
We are stepping into our "Radiant Legacy" era. This isn't just a new logo—it’s a leveled-up commitment to our dogs.

- New Policies & Processes: We have updated our contracts and waitlist procedures to better protect our "Legacy Companions."
- New Website: Our new site is live with all the details on our Functional Health philosophy.

Thank you for sticking with us through the move, the madness, and the magic. We are back, we are settled, and we have so much to share.
Check out the link in bio to see the new look!

With Love & Legacy,

I really couldn’t have put this any better.

I refuse to become the kind of breeder who loses her heart in the process.

I’ve seen it happen.

People start out loving the dogs… and somewhere along the way, the love the income more.

The spark fades.
The calling turns into convenience.
The dogs become numbers.
The litters become paychecks.

And I promised myself a long time ago
that would never be me.

I refuse to be the kind of breeder who looks at a heat cycle and sees dollar signs instead of responsibility.

Who treats dogs like inventory instead of souls.

I refuse to chase trends, colors, patterns, viral looks at the cost of health, temperament, and stability.

Because these are not accessories.
These are living, breathing little hearts who will grow into someone’s family member.

And I refuse to forget the families waiting on the other side of these puppies.
The kids who’ve prayed for a dog.

The mama who needs companionship.
The couple starting their little life together.

I will never be the breeder who takes the payment, hands over the puppy and emotionally clocks out.

To me, placing a puppy isn’t a sale
it’s an extension of my heart walking out the door.

I refuse to breed for attention.
For likes.
For clout.
For bragging rights.
For the approval of the internet.

I refuse to be the breeder who stops learning.
Who gets comfortable.
Who stops asking questions because “I’ve been doing this long enough.”

The moment I stop growing is the moment I stop deserving these dogs.

Instead, I choose to be the breeder who still feels everything.

Who still gets butterflies every time a mama goes into labor.

Who panics a little at every quiet puppy.
Who sets alarms through the night “just to check one more time.”

Who celebrates every tiny milestone like it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it.

I choose to be the breeder who prays over her dogs,
before breeding, during pregnancy, during whelping, and long after the puppies leave.

I choose to carry the emotional weight of every life I help bring into this world.
The hard decisions.
The sleepless nights.
The fear.
The joy.
The heartbreak.
All of it.

When a puppy is born here, they take a piece of me with them.
And that doesn’t fade after eight weeks…
not ever.

I choose to be the breeder who would rather have one exceptional litter
than ten rushed, careless, poorly planned ones.

Because at the end of the day, anyone can put two dogs together.
Anyone can post pictures.
Anyone can sell puppies.

But not everyone is willing to carry the emotional, physical, and moral weight that comes with truly ethical breeding.

Not everyone is willing to say “no” when money is on the table.
Not everyone is willing to do things the right way when no one is looking.
Not everyone is willing to put their heart on the line again and again and again.

But I am.

As long as I am doing this,
this is the standard I will hold myself to.
Whether it’s easy or not.
Whether people understand or not.
Whether anyone ever sees the behind-the-scenes or not.

Because these dogs deserve it.
The families deserve it.
And my heart… could never live with anything less. 🤍

Dachshunds have had a lot of roles through history. Did you know one of those roles was as war dogs?

Our Home, Their Foundation: The RockinDachs Difference!

At the core of our Radiant Legacy is a simple, powerful philosophy: Every single puppy is raised inside our loving family home.

This isn't just a place to live—it's a commitment to early socialization. Our Gems are exposed to the gentle routines, sounds, and constant human interaction of daily life from day one. This deep, early upbringing ensures they develop into confident, well-adjusted companions that transition seamlessly into your family.

This commitment to a nurturing, in-home environment is the heart of our Rock-Solid Health and Unwavering Character.
