Q. & A. with JT

  • Why did you start breeding?

    This breed is my passion, and I love spending my life with them. My breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of Dachshunds while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation. I love Dachshunds, raising puppies.. even though it is a lot of work, and the happiness they bring to their new families make it worth it.
  • What makes your program special?

    I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies that make beloved companions. The pups are started on Litter and/or Pee pads from a young age. When coming home they will be eating dry Royal Canin small puppy food.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

    They live in my home.

    Hi! It’s been a year since I got my puppy from JT, and I couldn’t be happier. They were very responsive and friendly, and the pickup process was smooth with all the documents I needed to travel back to California. My puppy, Summer, has never had a health issue—she’s a happy, friendly girl. I couldn’t recommend them more for anyone looking for their new best friend!

    I enjoyed working with JT from Countridox to adopt our puppy Ocho from one of her litters. She made things easy, even explaining things and helping me navigate the Good Dog website which I had not used before. She updated pictures every week so I could watch him grow. He came to us in good health and is just perfect . We are pleased to recommend her kennel. Thank you JT!!

    We had a truly wonderful experience adopting our little guy from JT. Our pup Paulie will be a year old in just a couple of weeks! JT has been very kind and responsive, answering all of our questions. She was also very accommodating for our arrangement to pick up our pup. We traveled from Louisiana to Florida. JT really cares about the well being of her pups and has checked in with us to see how Paulie is doing. He is the best boy with the cutest personality. He's also super smart and loves to train! Everyone who meets him just loves him and compliments how beautiful he is! We've had such a great experience with JT that we plan to get Paulie a sister from her when Paulie turns two =)

    It was a true pleasure working with JT countridox dachshunds! As first time dog parents I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless process. JT was super responsive and put our mind at ease answering any and every question we may have had. Oscar has been a joy in our life. JT was flexible and gave us paperwork at pick up which made for an easy trade off. Thank you again!!

    JT was wonderful to work with and always answered my questions promptly and even after we received the puppy, she is still in contact.. she frequently asks about our puppy, Nova. the puppy is settling in wonderfully. she was already trained to the pee pads, which helps tremendously. Nova is so sweet, and of course she is spoiled. You can definitely tell she was well taken care of by JT

    I had an amazing experience with JT Smith Countridox Dachshunds! From the moment Mia was born, I received weekly updates with photos and got to watch her grow from just four days old. The breeder was always responsive and answered all my questions, including providing weight updates whenever I asked. It was clear Mia was raised with love and care. I’ve only had Mia for three days, and she is already so well-behaved! She has the best temperament—calm, gentle, playful, and incredibly smart. She listens well, follows me everywhere, and has been so well-adjusted from day one. She’s confident, friendly with all my neighbors, and not at all skittish or shy. Potty training has also been a breeze; she goes outside most of the time and uses her pee pad when needed. I’m beyond grateful for such a wonderful puppy, and I highly recommend JT Smith Countridox Dachshunds to anyone looking for a well-raised, well-socialized dachshund!
