I'm Karen L., the breeder behind Devoted Doxies, Lorraine’s Yorkies located in Belfair, WA. Our dogs are bred and raised in our home to produce well socialized loving puppies. We focus on producing well bred dogs that are free of any preventable genetic disorders and great temperaments. Your puppy comes to you with shots, wormings and a small care package to help get you started.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding Yorkshire Terriers more than 10 years ago with a good friend. She and another friend mentored me as I learned along the way. When I met my husband we decided to add Dachshunds to our breeding program and we think it’s been the best decision we ever made.
What makes your program special?
Each of our dogs are Embark tested then paired to produce genetically healthy, well tempered dogs. All our dogs live in our home and are loved and adored. Our intent is to produce well bred, healthy, genetically sound, well tempered, loving, well socialized puppies.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Dachshund puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Dachshund puppies include longhaired and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Yorkshire Terrier puppies are black and tan. Dachshund puppies include piebald, red, chocolate, blue and tan, black and tan, fawn (isabella) and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Karen is truly dedicated to responsible breeding and the overall well-being of her dogs. My puppy came home healthy, happy, and well-adjusted. You can tell she puts so much love and care into what she does—I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Karen was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very beginning, she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was always quick to respond, answered all of our questions with ease, and kept us updated every step of the way.
Since we’re in California, Karen went above and beyond to arrange a seamless flight for our puppy from Seattle. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Our puppy, Kobe, has been the perfect addition to our family! He is playful, loving, and has the sweetest temperament. We adore him!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more wonderful pup.
Thank you, Karen, for everything! We are so grateful!

Karen was wonderful in helping me get my sweet girl! She reached out to me because I had shown interest in a previous litter that was reserved, which meant the world to me. She made the application process so easy, and was so informed and knowledgeable when I went to get my girl. She has kept in touch and helped me with any questions I have had! My girl was completely healthy when we went for our first vet visit and is social and understands where to potty. I was so impressed!! I would 100% go through Karen for my next baby.

Karen was incredible to work with! She let me come and meet my pup before purchasing and I’m so glad she did! More than anything I wanted to make sure the pup and I would be a good fit and for me, that means meeting first. After that, Karen sent photos of my baby while we were waiting for her to be ready to come home. Setting up a meet spot for drop off day was super easy as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with!

Karen was truly a pleasure to work with! She is very passionate and ensures the pups are well taken care of. Although I’ve had dogs my entire life, this was my first time working with a breeder and it was a very easy transition to our home! We were able to visit our baby girl on the weekends, Karen also used the name we gave our pup, and our girl was mostly potty trained by the time we got her home! Thank you Karen for making this such a seamless process and thank you for our little blessing Luna❤️
