Meet the breeder

I'm Tina T., the breeder behind Elite Doxies Florida located in Lakeland, FL. We focus on long coats but we still love some smooth babies from time to time. Our puppies are available only to five-star homes that can provide a lifetime of love, safety, and responsible care. We have veterinarian and client references available. We breed AKC and CKC but we place our pups pet only, not for breeding.

Q. & A. with Tina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Ever since a little girl, my parents could not keep me away from animals. They did have a litter of boxer puppies, so I blame them for imprinting that on me from an early age! . At 7 years old I got my very first puppy, by age 17 I went to a dog show and that was it, I was hooked. In my 20’s and 30’s I showed AKC conformation for many years with other breeds, even competed in Nationals. I also traveled to Germany one time to see the world dog show and to New York to experience Westminster. Anything related to dogs that I have experienced kept solidifying my love for them. At age 43 now and not having kids, the dogs are my children.

  • What makes your program special?

    I have devoted my life to dogs for over 25 years. It’s a way of life that not everyone can commit to but, having my dogs as my only true kids I do believe I live and love them at another level. I like to form relationships with my clients so it’s not just a transaction, if they want to stay in touch I will welcome that. We still have clients texting with dogs that are 10 years and older.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

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

    Our Dachshund puppies include wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    From the very first interaction, Tina was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. She is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and patiently answered every question I had (and I had many!). She kept me consistently updated throughout the entire process and regularly sent beautiful photos of our puppy, which made the experience even more special and reassuring. It is very clear that Tina truly loves and prioritizes the health and well-being of her dachshunds and the families they go to. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free from start to finish. What meant so much to me was that she even followed up after June came home to check in and make sure everything was going well. That continued support speaks volumes about the kind of breeder she is. We are absolutely in love with our sweet girl, June. She is already a sassy little princess who runs our house (and we happily let her!), and she has brought so much joy and laughter into our home. Her personality is amazing, and we couldn’t be happier. We feel incredibly grateful to have found Tina and would absolutely work with her again in the future if we decide to add another dachshund to our family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a well-loved, beautiful puppy and a truly positive experience.

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience buying a dog from Tina. She was professional, patient, and truly passionate about her dogs. Everything was handled with care, from clear communication to making sure the dog was healthy and ready to go home. she sent me many updates leading up to the time of getting my Gracie🥰 My dog adjusted quickly and has been an amazing addition to my family. I would absolutely recommend Tina to anyone looking for a loving, responsible breeder and I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you so much 💞!!

    Elite Doxies is wonderful! Tina communicated with me every step of the way. I was skeptical at first because I was paying a deposit online and hadn't seen the puppy in person. Tina NEVER pressured me in any way. She actually gave mw references to call to verify she was really a breeder! We decided to adopt Chloe. She is a creme mini-dachshund. She is perfect! When I went to meet Tina and pick up Chloe, Tina had put together a re very nice care package for her. She also went over everything in detail and asked me to keep in touch and send photos every so often. Anytime I have a question, I message Tina and she answers me within a few hours. I 1000% recommend her!

    I was looking for a specific type, dachshund specifically, the mini long-haired piebald, and found Tina from Elite Doxie’s on the Internet. Tina was great at communicating and sharing information with me about Ruby. The delivery process was extremely smooth and they provided me with all the information I could possibly need and everything to get started with my new pup. I could not be happier with my experience and my brand new puppy.
