Meet the breeder

I'm Cat D., the breeder behind Aviator Doxies located in Hesperia, CA. All my dogs are loved as family members. I cherish my puppies from birth up until they leave my arms to snuggle into yours! I'm passionate about raising the best family companions possible. It is just so exciting to start sharing the joy and excitement of life with a Dachshund! I'm very active showing my dogs and 3 from my breedings finished their Championships this past January 2025.

Q. & A. with Cat

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got in to breeding to produce so I could keep one for my needs and hobby and to be sure to provide high quality puppies for others to love.

  • What makes your program special?

    This is difficult to pinpoint as there are so many great breeders out there. Many of whom I have good relationships with who all strive to own a really nice dog that meets the Standard written for the breed. Myself, I do not have many litters. My dogs here are lifers! They roam freely all together and rarely crated. No kennel runs here. They teach and learn from one another the routine here and have big vocabularies. I have the #2 Top Producing Longhair Female in 2024. She produced 7 champions. These puppies of mine are not only smart but very beautiful to look at.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include piebald, cream, red, chocolate and tan, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Cat

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,500 - $3,300 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“The price includes a guarantee, vaccinations and wormings, well-socialized, microchipped. Puppies are used to potty pads and a potty box with paper pellets. They are also crate trained and know how to use a doggy door already. Parents have all dna and health clearances and sometimes puppies are DNA'd for PRA. I do not take deposits until the puppy is 6 weeks old. Deposit is completely refundable only if at time of grading puppies for show and pet quality at 10 weeks and breeder does not have a puppy to go to perspective buyer. Not refundable if buyer backs out.”

This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Aviator Doxies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Dachshunds.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • PRA, Rod-Cone Dysplasia 4 (rcd4), Full Embark Panel, DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
