Heartland Dachshunds Of So Il

Heartland Dachshunds Of So Il is a dachshund breeder in Mount Vernon, IL, serving Southern Illinois near St. Louis. Its breeding program follows recognized dachshund standards, with health testing for hips and patellas.

Puppies are raised indoors as part of the family, receiving hands-on socialization from children and adults to foster confident, well-adjusted temperaments. Reba Mandrell attends regional dachshund club events and consults with experienced breeders to refine her approach to line health and temperament stability. One recent owner noted how quickly their puppy adjusted to life in an apartment and bonded with the whole household.

Litters share a cozy whelping area inside a dedicated kennel room, with supervised playtime in a secure outdoor yard. Prospective owners receive guidance on nutrition, grooming, and training to help their dachshund thrive in a new home setting. Previous puppy families often mention the ongoing support and willingness to answer questions long after adoption.
