Backyard Puppies

Backyard Puppies, dachshund breeder in Christiana, PA, is located in Lancaster County and the Susquehanna Valley near Lancaster. The kennel has more than a decade of experience breeding smooth- and long-haired dachshunds and follows American Kennel Club guidelines with routine health screening for eyes and hips.

Puppies are raised in a home-based setting on a family-run property where they receive daily socialization, early training exercises, and exposure to common household sounds. Elam Stoltzfus emphasizes gentle handling, consistent feeding routines, and integration into the family environment to foster confidence and adaptability. The operation began as a small hobby farm and has grown steadily while maintaining a low-stress, homelike atmosphere for both adults and litters.

All puppies are veterinarian-checked before joining new homes, and detailed health records accompany each companion. Reviews note clear communication throughout the breeding process and supportive follow-up as families welcome their dachshunds.
