Raised with Love in Southern Illinois

At Heartland Dachshunds, every puppy is raised with kindness, care, and plenty of cuddles. For nearly 30 years, our family has been loving and raising miniature dachshunds right here in Mount Vernon, Illinois.

Our dogs grow up in a clean, cozy environment — with space to play, daily social time, and lots of human attention. We focus on healthy, AKC-registered pups with sweet personalities and loyal hearts.

Whether you’re looking for your next best friend or a loving companion for your family, we’re here to help you find the perfect fit.

Loved by Families Across the Midwest

Our puppies may be small, but the joy they bring is huge

“Couldn’t be happier with our experience with Reba and Heartland Dachshunds. We got our little Penny Lane in June of this year and she is the sweetest thing ever. We love her so much, she’s so well socialized, loves kids, and is everything we hoped she would be.”

— Courtney F.

“This is NOT your typical breeder environment. The facilities for the dogs are spacious and comfortable, and dog receives outstanding health care and well fed. If you adopt, you’ll get everything you need to get started. If you’re looking for a miniature dachshund to add to the family, you must check out Heartland Dachshund.”

“Absolutely love our little guy. This was a Christmas gift to my wife but, I couldn’t wait till Christmas to give it to her. We traveled a total of 6.5 hours to get him and we’d do it again. (I messed up and only got one so, we have to find him a buddy.)”
