I'm Chris C., the breeder behind Crowned Doxies located in Tucson, AZ. Crowned Doxies began after my dachshund helped me heal emotionally during back surgery recovery. Their love is truly soul-soothing. Now, I raise puppies with excellent health and temperament to share that same healing joy with others.
Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
The deep connection with my first dachshund inspired my passion for breeding. Sharing that love and unique bond with others through breeding has been incredibly rewarding.
What makes your program special?
I'm dedicated to raising well-balanced puppies. I put a lot of care into ensuring each puppy is ready to bring joy to their future families, by focusing on non-verbal communication. It helps the puppies learn to read and respond to subtle cues, which can be essential for developing a strong bond with their future families.
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 sable, piebald, cream, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

All my life I’ve always owned dachshunds and with the help of my daughter sharing this app with me and I decided to select a dog with Chris. Chris‘s process of how she breeds dogs and cares for them is impeccable. I was highly impressed on the quality and temperament of my dog and she is healthy and happy and I couldn’t be more pleased. Chris takes pride in her animals and my dog was very well cared for and in excellent condition upon receiving her. I highly recommend Chris’s. Her love shows in her processes, highly professional and the best part was she was great with communicates regularly. Getting my dog from her was 10/10 experience. Winnie is my new best friend!

Chris was great. She sent updated photos on my pup regularly. Pickup was easy and his little care package was filled with goodies. He is such a wonderful puppy and we are so happy to have met Chris and are thrilled with our new baby.
