MORE THAN DOGS;
FAMILY FOR LIFE
At AZ Doxies, we believe exceptional dachshunds are built through intention, not chance.
Every pairing is carefully planned around health, structure, temperament, and long-term soundness. Our focus is not on producing show dogs or chasing trends — it is on raising beautiful, well-bred dachshunds with the foundation to live long, healthy, happy lives as cherished family companions.
Located in Crystal River, Florida, our puppies are raised in our home with daily care, early socialization, and hands-on attention from the very beginning.
Because to us, they are never just dogs.
They are family.
OUR philosophy
OUR HEALTH TESTING
HEALTH TESTING AND STANDARDS
Health is the foundation of our breeding program. Every parent dog undergoes extensive genetic and health screening before ever being considered for breeding, allowing us to make informed decisions that prioritize the long-term health and well-being of future generations.
DNA
TESTING
Comprehensive DNA panels screen for inherited diseases, breed-specific conditions, and genetic markers to support responsible breeding practices and healthier generations.
OFA CERTIFICATIONS
Parent dogs complete OFA health evaluations including Patellas, Cardiac, and CAER Eye certifications to ensure they meet the standards expected within our program.
IVDD AWARENESS
As a breed predisposed to spinal disease, we place significant emphasis on structure, pedigree evaluation, and IVDD risk assessment when making breeding decisions.
