Mare-Bella Dachshunds

Mare-Bella Dachshunds raises miniature dachshunds in Carson City, Michigan, operating as a family-run program made up of three kennels, each specializing in a different coat type and color line. The program sits in the heart of mid-Michigan, roughly an hour north of Lansing.

Mariah Weiland oversees the smooth coat line, a specialty that the program notes is increasingly difficult to find in America due to inconsistent breeding practices. The English cream line focuses on authentic UK bloodlines and breeds to British English cream standards to preserve true type, while the red line — including reds, black and tans, and dapples — is raised on a nearby farm. All three kennels are located within a mile or two of one another near Crystal, Michigan.

Health testing is a central part of the program. DNA for each dog has been submitted through Embark, and all dogs are tested for PRA to screen against hereditary blindness. The program also avoids known genetic pitfalls, including dilute-to-dilute and dapple-to-dapple pairings. Dogs carry AKC registration or verified UK descent, and the facility undergoes yearly county inspection. For anyone researching dachshund puppies in Michigan, the multi-line setup and documented UK lineage make this a program with a clearly defined focus.
