WE ARE THE MARTINS – Reputable Dachshund Breeder in Florida
Hello, we are Bryan and Peggy Martin, owners of AZ Doxies. We live in Crystal River, FL. Bryan has owned dachshunds all of his life and when Peggy and Bryan moved out to the country the goal was to have as many wieners as possible. Dachshunds are such wonderful, loving dogs and we love them as pets more than anything. We believe in finding suitable homes for our pups to make sure they go on to live wonderful lives .
Why We Chose to Breed Dachshunds
DNA & Health Testing
DNA testing and health screening so every breeding decision is backed by science.
Structure & Conformation
Correct structure and conformation to support strong spines and healthy movement.
Temperament & Socialization
Temperament and socialization so every dachshund raised in our home can fit seamlessly into family life.
How We Raise Our Dachshunds
All of our dachshunds live inside our home, not in kennels. They are family first, and they spend their days by our side — playing in the yard, lounging on the couch, and being part of our everyday routine.
From the moment puppies are born, they are handled daily and surrounded by the sounds, smells, and activity of family life. We want every dachshund we raise to leave here confident, social, and ready to adapt to their new home — whether that’s across town or across the country.
We also believe education is part of our role. Every family who works with us learns how to protect a dachshund’s back (safe handling, avoiding high jumps, maintaining a healthy weight), along with tips on training, diet, and long-term care.
Our Philosophy
Health
We DNA test all of our breeding dogs for conditions like CDDY, PRA, and IVDD risk. We pair this with veterinary care, vaccinations, and health certifications so families know their dachshund is starting life on solid ground.
Heart
We breed because we love dachshunds. Every puppy is raised in our home with the same love and attention we give our own pets.
Honesty
We are transparent about testing results, structure, and care. We would never promise “perfect” dogs — instead, we promise well-raised dachshunds, lifetime support, and honesty in every step of the process.

We stay connected with many of our families long after their dachshund goes home, offering advice, support, and celebrating milestones together.
For us, this isn’t just breeding. It’s a lifelong commitment to the dachshund breed and to the families who love them as much as we do.
