Healthy, Loving Dachshunds — Raised with Care in Florida, Loved Nationwide

At AZ Doxies, we are committed to raising dachshunds with health, structure, and temperament as our top priorities. Every one of our dogs is part of our family, raised in our home, and supported by science-backed health testing.

Welcome to AZ Doxies

At AZ Doxies, dachshunds are more than dogs — they are cherished family members. Our breeding program was built on the belief that quality comes from health, love, and responsibility.

We are located in Florida but work with families across the United States who are looking for a dachshund raised with care. By focusing on DNA testing, proper structure, and early socialization, we give every dog the foundation for a long, healthy, and happy life.

Health Testing & DNA Screening

The heart of our program is health. Every dachshund in our breeding program is DNA tested through trusted laboratories to ensure they are free from hereditary conditions that can affect the breed.

we test for

CDDY (Chondrodystrophy) & IVDD risk

Linked to spinal disc disease common in dachshunds.

PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy)

An eye disease that leads to blindness.

Other breed-relevant genetic markers

Complete panel testing ensures we make informed breeding choices.

We believe in full transparency and are happy to share testing documentation with families.

IVDD Awareness & Prevention

Dachshunds are loved for their long, low bodies — but this structure can increase the risk of IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). At AZ Doxies, we take this risk seriously.

We select parent dogs with sound body structure to help reduce strain on their backs and joints.

We educate families on lifestyle choices (avoiding high jumps, maintaining proper weight, safe play) that support spinal health.

Our goal is to give every dachshund the strongest possible foundation for a long, active life.

Veterinary Care & Wellness

All of our dogs receive regular veterinary care, ensuring they remain in peak health throughout their lives. Puppies born into our program receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and wellness exams before leaving for their forever homes, along with a Florida state health certificate.

We also maintain detailed health records, which are shared openly with families as part of our commitment to honesty and transparency.

Structure & Temperament

At AZ Doxies, we understand that a dachshund must be more than cute — it should also be structurally sound and have the right temperament to thrive in a family environment.

Structure: We evaluate our dachshunds for correct topline, body balance, and movement. Proper conformation supports lifelong mobility and reduces the risk of injuries.

Temperament: Loving, loyal, and playful — dachshunds should be wonderful companions. We select breeding dogs with stable, affectionate personalities that pass to their puppies.

Socialization: All of our dachshunds are raised in our home, surrounded by daily family life, so they grow into confident, people-friendly companions.

Our Philosophy

We believe that raising dachshunds is both a science and a passion. DNA testing, health care, and structure guide our choices, but love, daily interaction, and family values are what truly shape our dogs.

When you choose AZ Doxies, you’re choosing a breeder who:

Puts health first through genetic testing and veterinary care

Protects the breed by focusing on structure and temperament

Provides transparency and education so families know how to care for their dachshund long-term

Offers lifetime support to families long after their dog goes home

Get Started with AZ Doxies

We carefully screen every family through a puppy application to ensure the best match. This helps us place each dachshund in a loving, responsible home where they will thrive.

Excellent

We had the most wonderful experience with AZ Doxies! We're in love with our new puppy, she's healthy and beautiful. During the whole process, Bryan and Peggy kept us informed through video calls and texts. They're so knowledgeable about doxies, and they really care about their dogs. We can't recommend them enough 💕

Response from the owner:Bella is so sweet. We are glad she found a great home with your family. Keep us updated as she continues to grow.

Hannah Woolford

Peggy and Bryan were above and beyond the best breeder we have dealt with. From the start, they were kind and focused on making sure the puppies were going to a good quality home. We were able to do a video call to meet the puppies ahead of time, which was nice to put eyes on them before driving to the residence. The puppies are well taken care of, and so much effort is taken to make sure the puppies are healthy and happy! And the time taken reaching out after pickup shows how much they care about all their puppies! Would definitely recommend AZ Doxies if you are looking for a new dachshund. We love our sweet baby, Maizy

Response from the owner:Thank you Hannah. We are so happy you guys found Maizy. We know you will have great memories as a family together. Please let us know if you have any questions or issues. Thank you for the nice review. 😃

Indre Serna

I love my Freddie boy so much! Thank you so much Peggy and Bryan for the most adorable pups!! 🐶 So grateful for the DNA tests and well taken care of mini dachshunds. My neighbor and I would take them all home if we could! 🤍

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. We are glad he found a home with so much love. I know he will love the adventures that await you all. Keep us updated as he grows. Thanks again.

Adam Yogel

Working with AZ Doxies to bring little Indy into my life was an absolutely amazing experience. Thanks to Peggy and Bryan, it was better than I could have ever hoped for. Their love and knowledge of Dachshunds simply cannot be matched. They take great care to make certain these beautiful little babies are matched with the right people and the right home. This is so important to ensure these dogs live their best life. And that is one of the biggest aspects that make AZ Doxies so special. At AZ Doxies, the dogs come first. What is best for the dog comes before anything else. Any true dog lover will understand and appreciate this greatly. I myself understand and appreciate it and feel privileged to have been matched with Indy. Having Indy is such a joy. Just like all the Dachshunds at AZ Doxies, Indy is perfect in so many ways from his health to his personality. This is a true testament to the great care Bryan and Peggy take in their breeding program. They are so amazing to work with and are a great resource not only during the process, but long after. I highly recommend AZ Doxies. They are simply the best!

Response from the owner:Thank you Adam. We appreciate people who are dedicated to getting a new puppy. We appreciate the kind words as well. Indy is an amazing little man. We can't wait to see what adventures you guys have. Thanks again!

JimJustJim

Peggy & Bryan are good people. What you expect from a premier breeder. Just as important, our "Suga" (black & tan shorthair) at 8 months old is vibrant, in perfect health, while very affectionate she can be somewhat of a troublemaker at times.

Thanks Peggy & Bryan

Response from the owner:Awe thank you. We hope she isn't too much trouble lol. You guys have done so good with her. I know she is loved. Thank you for the kind review and for taking care of Suga!

Ryan B

The absolute best experience we have had with a new puppy adventure!!! From start to finish, the interview, the questions, picking out our new family member, picking up our new family member(a long long drive with 3 puppies to meet him) and the continued conversations that I have had about breeding care and anything to do with dachshunds have been beyond what any breede has to do. And the health personality and quality of our baby boy are the absolute best!!! Puck is our little mischievous one true to his name and the fact that once we picked out a name they called him by it and he was answering to it from the day we met him was beyond amazing!!!

Response from the owner:Thank you Ryan. You 2 are true dachshund lovers. We will work on looking at DNA and next steps with your program. Thank you for the kind review and we will talk soon.

Corrina Smith

Love our little Tillie, she’s been a great addition to our family! Thank you for her! The breeders communicate very often and even after they come home.

Response from the owner:Thank you Corrina. Tillie is a cute little girl. She is having a great time with you. We appreciate you taking good care of her. Please keep us updated as she grows.

Angel Anel

The most caring and responsible breeders around, My pup was not only completely healthy and well adjusted at 8 weeks you can tell the love and nurturing Peggy and Bryan put in to their animals. A true credit to what real breeders are, caring about the animals not just making money.I highly recommend them and anyone considering a Doxie is welcome to reach out to me for recommendations.

Response from the owner:Thank you Angel. We appreciate the kind words. We know Charlie is in good hands with you guys. We appreciate the updates and pics as well. Please continue to keep us updated as he grows. Of course let us know if you have any questions about anything.

Shae Redding

My husband and I had a great experience with AZ Doxies. Peggy and Brian are very knowledgeable and passionate about Dachshunds. It was evident right away that they truly care about their dogs and prioritize their well-being. Since we've brought our puppy home, we have been in close contact and they have made this whole process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend AZ Doxies if you're interested in adding a Dachshund to your family.

Response from the owner:Thank you Shae and Chris. Charley is a special boy and I know you all will enjoy each other for many years to come. Please keep in touch and THANK YOU for being conscientious dog owners.

Leigh Hays

I highly recommend Az Dixies!! We got our little girl from them the end of Dec. 2024 and she is perfect! Communication was great. She was very healthy, had her shots, and came with all documentation. They still call to check up on how she’s doing. They truly care about all their pups.

Response from the owner:Thank you Leigh. We are happy Brin found you guys. Keep us updated as she grows.

Renee Sloan

Peggy and Brian helped us through the whole process with bringing home our little Toby. They provided pictures and health updates all along the way. I am grateful for Peggy and Brian’s knowledge, testing, and transparency regarding DNA testing for the dapples. Once we got Toby home, he has grown into a sweet, loving, healthy boy!

Response from the owner:Thank you Renee for the kind words. We are so happy Toby found a good home. We know he is so important to you. Keep us updated as he continues to grow. Thanks again!

Danhia Celestin

Amazing breeder—professional, caring, and knowledgeable. Our puppies are healthy, loving, intelligent and well-socialized. Highly recommend to anyone seeking quality pups!

Response from the owner:My favorite first time puppy owner. You have taken this more serious than most of our clients. You will see that your hard work with training will be invaluable. We appreciate you and I know Psalms and Keiko definitely do. Thank you again.

Lisette Vasallo

AZ Doxies has been amazing from beginning to end and more. Bryan and Peggy are knowledgeable and available to answer any questions you may have. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a mini dachshund. Our girl is the sweetest and perfect addition to our family.

Response from the owner:Thank you Lissette for the review. Chorizo and Kaiya are fun to see together. We are so happy she found a good home. Let us know if you need anything.

Tatum Daffin

If you are looking for a dachshund puppy, AZ Doxies are the best of the best! We will definitely go to them for our next doxie pup

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Tatum. We hope you and Dash are doing well. I am sure he is continuing to enjoy the beach. Thanks again!

Tia Bednarczyk

My personal experience has been all positive with A-Z Dachshunds. Bryan has shown me in a variety of ways that he breeds for love of Dachshunds, and their quality improvements. He has directed retirees to us, and previous customers if they needed to return their pet for a lifestyle change, such as this beautiful girl below.

Response from the owner:Thank you Tia! We will continue to send people looking to rescue instead of adopt a puppy to you. We admire your willingness to take care of these dachshunds that come from bad circumstances no matter what.

Kristin Shriver

AZ Doxies really take care of their dogs. They have a variety of puppies to choose from and are concerned and knowledgeable about all the aspects of breeding quality dashounds!

Response from the owner:Thank you Kristin. We appreciate the review. Thank you for all your help to keep our yard safe.

Christine A. Glenn

Peggy and Brian are the best! After my 1st conversation I knew I would get our pup from AZ Doxies. They both are extremely knowledgeable and truly a step above other breeders. I made my decision because they do DNA testing and additional testing for an eye condition that dachshunds are susceptible to and each pup is microchipped. They were very communicative through the weeks until we were able to get our sweet Bailey! She is a beautiful little girl who is thriving because of the way she was brought into the world! THANK YOU BOTH, we are in love!

Response from the owner:Thank you Christine. We appreciate you being such good humans for Bailey. We love the pictures of her. She is stunning and we know you will enjoy each other for many years. Please keep us updated as she grows and have more adventures.

Judy Schkrioba

I would add more stars to the review of AZ Doxies if available. Their exceptional knowledge of dachshunds is outstanding and they genuinely care about the wellbeing of their dogs. We couldn’t be happier with our new family member, Quincy.

Response from the owner:Thank you Judy! We appreciate you keeping us updated with Quincy's new adventures. You guys are great and I know he appreciates all of the attention. Thank you for being such good humans. We know he is in great hands with you. Keep in touch.

Kim & Tom Masson

AZ Doxies are a great breeder to find your next family member! Trustworthy and always in communication.

Response from the owner:Awe thank you. Bentley is such a fun little boy. I know Sean is making him a priority. We love when we find good owners. Thank you and keep in touch.

Sabrina Freytag

Highly recommend getting a dachshund from Bryan and Peggy. They are awesome. Very knowledgeable about the breed and you can tell they really care about their dogs. My boyfriend and I felt very confident in adopting from them. We love our little boy Oscar! He is perfect.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Sabrina. We really appreciate the kind words. Oscar is so cute and it seems as if he is already part of the family. Thank you for taking such good care of him. Keep us updated as he grows.

savannah masse

Bethany Watkins

Response from the owner:Thank you for the rating, Bethany. Let us know if you need anything. We hope you and Percival are doing well. Thank you.

Amanda Shorr

We had the absolute best experience with AZ Doxies! From the very start, they were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly passionate about their dachshunds. We found our perfect little girl, Winnie, a stunning red-haired mini dapple doxie, and she has completely stolen our hearts!

Response from the owner:Winnie is such a sweet girl. We are glad she found a good home with you guys. Keep in touch.

paulette carver

Brian was very helpful communicating through messaging with me about questions about the dogs and anything I wanted to know. It had been 16 years since we had our last two daushunds so a lot had changed. when we went to pick the one up, of course we fell in love with another so ended up buying two. And Peggy was a sweetheart. We had met her when we picked up the dogs. If there’s anything I need I know he’ll be there for me and to answer my questions.

Response from the owner:You know it. We appreciate great dog owners like you two. Feel free to come back to visit anytime. Zoey and Trudy are where they belong. Thank you!

Gail White

Great dogs great people!!!

Response from the owner:Thank you Gail. Hope you enjoy Megan. She is a sweet girl.

Joy Shafer Bish

I have never met anybody like Peggy and Brian they are wonderful breeders their dogs are beautiful they're all loving and careful for very much I can't wait till I get my two new ones

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words Joy. We will take care of your babies until pickup.

Tiffany Theen

These are some of the best puppies I have ever seen. Our puppy came from Sooty and Bruiser's puppies. We took Rocket to our vet and the whole staff was amazed at how beautifully built he was as well as his laid back temperament. Extremely smart as well. He is an amazing emotional support dog. He's going to be so handsome when he fills in.

The breeder kept us up to date with videos of Rocket's growth every step of the way. Watching their noses grow and weekly reports made this so much fun as well.

The puppies come already microchipped and all paperwork. You also get reminders when it's time for their next round of shots.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. Keep in touch.

Steven Ziff

Such an easy and incredible experience to work together to bring our little guy home. Thank you so much @AZ_Doxies for Hank!

Response from the owner:Thank you Steven for the review. I know Hank has so much family to love him. We are so happy he found such a great home. Let us know if you need anything.

esmeralda Ayon

AZ Doxies really cares about their animals. All dogs are inside their home. I recommend them if you are looking for a dachshund in Florida.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Esmerelda. Hope to hear from you again soon. Great California breeder. @dachshunds_california

Steve Queal

My family and I are absolutely thrilled with our new puppy! The entire process was smooth and stress-free. Az kept us informed every step of the way, providing updates through video calls, pictures, and videos whenever we requested. When the time comes for puppy number two, there’s no question we’ll definitely be coming back!

Response from the owner:Thank you Steve for the review. You guys are our ideal customer. Your #1 priority is that little girl right now. She has a great little personality and stunning style. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Nick Cote

Bryan and Peggy made getting my first puppy an amazing experience. On our first phone call they spent over an hour talking to me about the breed and answering any question I had. They always kept me updated and brought Dash into my life! I am thankful that I went with them!

Response from the owner:Thank you Nick for the kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you to find your perfect puppy. We love Dash's outgoing personality. He is such a smart boy. I know you guys will be best buds. Always feel free to reach out if you have any issues or questions.

Kenny Mitchell

I had a great experience with AZ Doxies. I got my little girl, Athena, on December 30th and could not be happier. From the first phone conversation, they gave me a wealth of knowledge about the breed. Anytime I had questions they answered promptly. I did a lot of research prior to selecting a breeder, and I feel that I definitely made the right choice. If you are interested in getting a Dachshund, this is the place to go.

Response from the owner:Athena is a fun little girl. She is lucky to have found such a caring owner. Thank you for the kind words, Kenny.

Paula P.

Peggy and Bryan have been nothing but amazing! From the very first conversation they were friendly, knowledgeable and patient with any questions and concerns I had, and it was immediately apparent that they take what they do very seriously.
While waiting until my puppy (Kimble) was old enough to come home with me, they sent me updates and new pictures and videos every few days, which made me feel like I was already a part of his life and was able to watch him grow before I even met him. They are so good with communicating and always respond promptly, answering any and all questions I had no matter what time of day or night I reached out. They were also awesome and kind enough to keep him for a couple of extra weeks for me when I found out last minute that I had to travel out of state briefly for a personal matter before I could pick him up.
As for Kimble, he is such an amazing puppy and so smart for his age, to which I give credit to Peggy and Bryan and the love and care they gave him in his first few weeks. You can tell how passionate they are about all of their dogs and they're definitely not in this for the money but rather for their love of Dachshunds. They sent Kimble home with all of his records and information, as well as a bag of the food he was eating, a toy, and a blanket with his mama's scent on it which was super helpful with transitioning him into his new home.
I honestly can't say enough good things about AZ Doxies. My only regret is that I couldn't bring home more than one puppy but as soon as Kimble and I are ready to bring him home a little brother or sister, I know that I'll definitely be going back to them! I wish I could give them a 100-star rating - if you're looking for a dachshund and real people that you can trust, look no further. Thank you again Peggy and Bryan for EVERYTHING!!

Response from the owner:Thank you Paula. We are happy we found a loving home for Kimble. Kimble was a joy to take care of for a couple of weeks. He is a very smart and fun little boy. We are always here for you and him. Keep us updated as he grows.

Regina M

I can not say enough about how wonderful Bryan and Peggy are. It was a great experience from day one. Their knowledge, passion, and care for their pups is top notch and they helped us pick the perfect little buddy. For anyone looking for a healthy, happy, dachshund I would HIGHLY recommend AZ Doxies

Response from the owner:Thanks Regina. You are going to have your hands full with Mr. Bossy Boo. Thank you for the nice review and let us know if you need anything.

James Williams

AZ Doxies are very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. They aren't some puppy mil, they actually take time and show love to each and everyone of the puppies. I would recommend anyone looking for a dachshund to call this family first! We love our Maximus so much! They have given our family a friend forever!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Trey. We are so happy Maximus has a loving and caring family. You need anything, let us know!

Robert

First time going to a breeder and I have to say it was fantastic easy communication was absolutely amazing. You can tell there is pride in what these breeders do

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Robert. Alma is a sweet little girl who I know will fit right in with your family.

Michelle Bohach

We received the most beautiful pup from AZ Doxies. Not only a smooth transaction, they prepared us for the first couple of days with food, a collar and a sibling scented blanket, explained the paperwork, ancestry, breeding, requested us to get pet insurance for our pups sake. From start to finish these folks (Bryan and Peggy) put their pups first and are a class act! Even messaged to see how her transition was the next day! Fully Recommended as an amazing breeder of Doxies!! Sabine Wren is absolutely lovely ❤️

Response from the owner:We love such dedicated dog owners. We know Sabine Wren will be a joy to your family. May the force be with you. Keep in touch with updates on her.

John Wilson

Bryan and Peggy are amazing to work with and each puppy is a part of their family. I can’t say enough about my fur baby Maggie, she is the sweetest most precious puppy. If you are wanting to add a Doxie to your family I highly recommend AZ Doxies.

Response from the owner:Maggie is a special girl. She is so sweet and I know she will bring happiness to you guys. Let us know if you need anything.

Great people, raising great pups!

Response from the owner:Thanks Matthew. We appreciate you.

Joan Stanton

We searched for a long time for a mini dachshund. We chose AZ doxies because the mini dachshund is the only breed that they have. They were very easy to communicate with. The Martins are able to provide all the history on the puppies.We are enjoying our puppy Charlie very much. He is healthy and very easy to manage. He obviously was born into a happy home because he gets along very well with people and with other animals. Joan Stanton

Response from the owner:Charlie is a very sweet and special boy. We are so excited to see pictures of him growing up. Please let us know if you have any questions. Keep in touch.

THE BLOOMING HOUSE JUNK SHOP

AZ Doxies are very knowledgeable and awesome people as well. We adopted Artie and he is adorable and lovable, trained on the potty pad, so glad that I found this breeder. They had stayed in contact with me and keep checking up on Artie, best experience I've ever had with a breeder. Definitely call them if you are looking for a Doxie, highly recommended.

Response from the owner:We are so happy Artie has a loving human. I know he enjoys all of the attention at the shop. Please let us know if you have any questions about anything. Thank you, Laura!

Response from the owner:Thank you Joyce. We hope you all enjoy Gus. Let us know when you are ready for one too. Lol

Cherie Markesteyn

Peggy and Bryan are wonderful! They are very responsible dachshund breeders and take super great care of all their dachshunds and puppies! My experience getting Gus from them was excellent! We ran into them in Home Depot and I had my weenie, Sebastian in the shopping cart and a great relationship was started! They are awesome with communication and answering questions! Gus is adorable, healthy and super smart at 8 weeks! I know if I want any more dachshunds this is where I will get them! Thank you so much!

Response from the owner:Thank you Cherie. We are glad Gus found a pawfect human. We hope to see you again soon.

Paige Horne

Extremely hard working, caring folks.

Response from the owner:Thank you Paige. We appreciate your help and advice. You are really here for the breed. Royalworth Dachshunds in Inverness, Florida is the cream of the crop of dachshund breeders in the US.
