Why Families Across the U.S. Choose AZ Doxies

At AZ Doxies, we believe raising dachshunds the right way means combining science, care, and love. Every puppy we raise is the result of thoughtful breeding, health testing, specialized nutrition, and early enrichment. That’s why families from all over the United States come to us here in Florida — because they want a dachshund that’s not only beautiful, but also healthy, well-prepared, and supported for life.

 Health Testing and Genetics

We take health seriously. All of our dachshunds are carefully tested through DNA panels and OFA certifications. This includes screening for:

CDDY and IVDD markers

to help reduce the risk of back problems.

Eye and heart conditions

verified through veterinary certifications.

General breed health traits

so we can confidently match the right pairings.

By combining dachshunds from different international styles (European, Russian, American, South African, and more), we balance substance, elegance, and strength. This approach creates well-structured dachshunds that are sound in both body and temperament.

 Nutrition: Raw Feeding and Natural Support

Our dachshunds are raised on a raw, biologically appropriate diet, modeled after what dogs are naturally designed to eat as descendants of wolves. This includes:

Fresh meats, organs, and bone.

Natural supplements such as fish oils, probiotics, collagen, and turmeric.

Mushroom tinctures (Reishi, Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps) for immune and nerve support.

CBD tinctures for natural pain relief, calming, and inflammation control when needed.

Meaty bones such as chicken feet, duck necks, and duck heads for dental health, cartilage, and joint support.

This combination helps support skin, gut health, joint strength, and long-term spinal health — areas that matter most for dachshunds.

Early Puppy Development

Before our puppies go home, they experience early neurological stimulation, enrichment, and gentle socialization. We use tools like:

Lick mats and slow feeders to promote calmness, dental health, and healthy digestion.

Early scent introduction and play-based learning to build confidence.

Controlled socialization so they are ready to adapt to new homes.

By eight weeks, our puppies are already on the path to being well-adjusted, resilient companions.

We believe informed families make the best homes. That’s why we provide:

Detailed guides on raw feeding, supplements, and IVDD prevention.

Clear explanations of coat colors, patterns, and health considerations.

Open updates, photos, and videos of our puppies as they grow.

Families don’t just buy a dachshund from us — they learn how to give their puppy the best possible life.

Lifetime Breeder Support

Our commitment doesn’t end at pickup or delivery. We’re here to answer questions, provide guidance, and celebrate milestones with you. Whether it’s diet advice, training tips, or health guidance, AZ Doxies families are supported for life.

Why AZ Doxies Is Different

Genetic testing and OFA certifications for long-term health.

International bloodlines blended for balance and structure.

Early neurological and social development for confident temperaments.

Lifetime support for every family.

This is what makes us stand out, and why families across the United States trust AZ Doxies with such an important decision.
