Black Sheep Farm

Black Sheep Farm breeds Dachshunds in Bates City, MO, serving Cass County and the Kansas City area. With more than a decade of experience, Black Sheep Farm is a member of the Dachshund Club of America and follows American Kennel Club standards, conducting routine health screenings for hip, eye and cardiac conditions.

Puppies are raised indoors in climate-controlled rooms, receive daily supervised outdoor play in a secure, fenced yard and enjoy regular interaction with family members. Owner Shawn McMahon brings a hands-on approach to every litter, sharing detailed observational notes on temperament, social progress and growth milestones. Each puppy departs with a complete health record, vaccination history and a care guide to help families settle in comfortably.

The farm’s quiet rural setting features open pastures, wooded trails and a low-stress routine that supports healthy development and well-rounded confidence. Puppies take part in an early socialization program, meeting children and senior residents to build adaptable temperaments suited for family life. The farm maintains limited litters each year to ensure personalized care and attention for every puppy.
