DK's Dream Doxies
Meet the breeder
I'm Diana K., the breeder behind DK's Dream Doxies located in Salado, TX. We’re a small, family breeder inspired by Jesse, raising happy, healthy mini dachshunds with love from our first longhair pup. After losing our beloved Jesse, we found joy in our first longhaired miniature dachshund. What began as healing turned into passion. We raise healthy, happy pups in our home with love, socialization, and care, focusing on health, temperament, and lifelong companionship.
