About Us

Experienced Breeders

Located in Lyles, TN

Just south of Dickson, TN (I-40 Exit 172)

Family-raised Dachshunds backed by decades of breeding experience, a lifetime genetic health guarantee, microchipping, and lifetime breeder support. Located in Lyles, Tennessee, but serving families across North & South America.

Our family started raising Dachshunds in the 70's. My mother was Karen Turner (Spann) who raised dachshunds almost her whole life. My daughters and I established Heather Ridge Kennel in 2007.

In 2010, we made a very important decision to start raising both Champion Bred Dachshund puppies AND Pets.

We kept the sweet, loveable, old style dachshunds, but we added AKC Champion bloodlines to our program to improve the look and health of our babies, and for those who want show dogs or champion lines for breeding.

Unregistered price for a champion bred dog is the same as a pup without champion bloodlines. We only ask more $ if you are going to use the champion line pup for breeding and will need their AKC Papers.

"Papers"

When we talk about "papers" we are referring to AKC registration papers. They allow you to show or breed your puppy.

Pets do not come with papers. We do not offer AKC Limited papers.

Show Dogs

If you are interested in a show prospect or breeding show prospects with champion bloodlines, please also visit our show kennel site WTLKennel.com

No Hassle Buying

We would love to sell to you!

WE NEVER HARASS OR SHAME THOSE WHO WISH TO OWN OR BREED! WE ARE HERE TO HELP GUIDE YOU!

Even if you don't get your baby from us, we want to make sure all clients know the facts and are able to be successful!

ASK TONS OF QUESTIONS!

We have been breeding dachshunds since the 70's. We have a ton of advice we can share. If we don't know the answer, I guarantee I know someone who does! Or visit our Vlog Canine Corporation!

BREEDERS - ONLY BUY AKC DOGS!

Rule of Thumb: You sell your pups at the price you pay for your parents. Don't buy a $300 dog and expect to sell the pups for $1000!

BREEDERS - DON'T PICK OUT YOUR 1st PUP BEFORE TALKING TO US!

One of the first mistakes made is someone runs out and buys their first pup and then gets stuck trying to figure out their program. Program 1st. Pup 2nd!

Note: We are legally not allowed to sell to Brokers or Pet Stores.

What You Receive with your Pup!!

#1 Socialized Daily!!! It is a delicate balance to give your pups exposure to different people, while we stay focused on keeping the kennel free from diseases. We limit the number of people who come into the kennel, but still make sure the pups get daily interactions. We don't socialize our pups for you. We do this for THEM! Pups who know how to respond to humans ensures they have a better chance for a happier life!

#2 - Potty Training Started!!! Listen folks, anyone who tries to tell you that your 8 week old pup will be potty trained is lying. However, we have designed our kennels to ensure your pup has kept it's natural desire to keep their 'home' clean. We have had quite a few of our new families provide the feedback that our pups are very easy to complete their potty training. Of course, you have to do your part. ;-)

#3 - Microchipped! Chips are automatically registered in our names by AKC, but you will just need to transfer the chip to you on the AKC Reunite website.

#4 - Lifetime Genetic Health Guarantee! If a pup from us develops a genetic issue anytime in their life that will significantly reduce their quality of life, or cost more than the price of the dog to treat, we return the money you paid for the pup. You do not have to return the dog in this situation. While bought and sold, a dog is not a product. We would never ask you to return a member of your family to receive your refund. The Lifetime Guarantee is just as much for us and for you. We want to know if our lines carry something so we can eliminate it from our program. Our breeding dogs are DNA'd, but not everything is tested for by DNA companies. We are strongly committed to raise the healthiest pups! This guarantee protects you more than any DNA or OFA testing. Note: Back issues are inherent to the breed and not covered under this guarantee. Many factors can cause a back issue in a dachshund with the #1 cause being an accident. We still do everything in our power to monitor back issues to ensure we don't have dogs that are prone to back issues as it would be devastating to our breeding program.

#5 - Lifetime Support of Dominique. 24/7/365. We are in this adventure together. YOU ARE NOT BOTHERING ME! Just call. I would much rather you call me, than to run off to the Emergency Vet if you have the ability to manage the pup yourself till your vet is available.

#6 - AKC Registered Parents. Even if a pup is sold as a pet and you didn't choose to get papers, we only have AKC registered dogs in our breeding program. Many with AKC Championship titles or with parents with AKC Championship titles.

#7 - Gentic Testing. All dogs are DNA tested prior to breeding. We have done OFA on many of our dogs, but we do not pay the additional fees to have them published on the OFA website. For the others, we know how to check the dogs for most issues looked for in OFA inspection and consult with our vet to identify any issues before our dogs breed. Any dog with an issue is pulled from the breeding program. Note: OFA issues can present themselves AFTER an OFA examination so beware that just because a breeder says dog passed OFA, the dog is not guaranteed to be OK. (DNA & OFA is a bit of a ruse, and why we do the Lifetime Genetic Health Guarantee.)

Return and Refund Policy

As we all know, Return Policies for Pets are different from most things you buy. Any type of financial reimbursement should not be expected except in rare circumstances. If you feel you have one of those rare circumstances, please don't hesitate to ask. We are always willing to discuss the situation. Any type of parasite is not grounds for refund. Our pups are on a very strict worming schedule, but since pups eat their own poop, and everyone else's, they can pick up parasites at any time. (Please pick up a liquid wormer and syringe (no needle) to administer medicine before picking up the puppy.)

Here at TNPuppies, we strive to provide a puppy that is healthy and without any significant issue. If we have noticed any issue before the pup is picked up, we will discuss this with you and you have the option to pass and receive a full refund, or you can pick a different pup. Issues are documented on your contract, and you will be provided with medications and supplements if needed. (An example...we had a pup who was picked on by his littermates and had bite marks on his neck. Just needed some basic first aid till it healed.)

Remember when it comes to physical characteristics; DNA is a tricky thing. We cannot guarantee anything about the puppy you purchase as far as size, breed ability, or show ability. A dog not meeting your specific dream is not grounds for a refund. However, we do have a very distinct Lifetime Guarantee Health Guarantee that I still have not seen any other breeder offer. This covers anything that will drastically reduce the life expectancy or cost at least the cost of the dog to treat. If you have this situation, we will review the information and possibly your dog. If you claim is true, you receive the cost of your dog in a refund.

YOU CAN RETURN A DOG TO US AT ANY STAGE OF LIFE FOR ANY REASON, AND WE WILL REHOME IT FOR YOU. This does not include receiving your money back.

Scammers

Here is how to avoid overseas rip off artists.

#1 -Absolutely avoid anyone who's profile name is 2 first names. i.e. Lauren Ashley. They scam in multiple countries and other countries enter their profile names opposite to how we enter ours in the US. NOT ALL are this way, but definitely several are.

#2 - Scammers work in teams, so one of these fake profiles will recommend the other fake profile. "Justin Small just loves the pup he got from Lauren Ashley" One or both will be the Admin of the FB Group. Some of these FB groups have over 10,000 followers.

#3 - Never send a single nickel to anyone you cannot call on the phone.

#4-Bad grammar/punctuation. Now we all have a typo now and then, but look for misused punctuation, words, or missing words. Most common mistake I see is the comma on the front of a word like ,this

IF YOU ARE SCAMMED, REPORT IT TO THE Federal Trade Commission!
