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.

    Tina is the most sweetest dog breeder I ever met. She was very communicative, knowledgeable and informative. She kept us posted on our baby Penelope now named Bella progress by sending pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend her services for anyone’s next companion 💖

    We welcomed our sweet pea 2 months ago. We were looking for a sibling for our other Italian Greyhound puppy and Tina assured us that the little girl she had available would love to have a brother. She was right! Our girl settled in right away. No doubt she was cared for and loved by Tina to be so well adjusted. :) We couldn't have asked for a better companion for our boy and for us. She is very loveable but can hold her own playing with other dogs along with our young grandchildren. Her Embark DNA test came back with excellent genetics which is a plus. Each time she's seen our veterinarian, he says she's perfect. We totally agree!!!!! Thank you Tina.

    Tina was amazing. She gave great updates leading up to us picking up our puppy and you can tell she cares for every puppy so well. She gave all the needed records and information for us (being new puppy owners), gave us toys and a couple dachshund bags, and made the whole process so positive. Our little Luna is healthy and happy and we're so grateful for everything! :)

    Tina and her husband went above and beyond for us when we got our precious Lolly! We had such a wonderful experience, and I would 1000% recommend them to anyone. Tina was so knowledgeable and helpful, and she even sent us home with a gift bag full of toys that our pup absolutely LOVES! You can truly tell how much they care about their puppies and the families they go to. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️

    Tina was so knowledgeable and helpful about this whole process and calmed all of my nerves by answering every single one of my million questions. Gus (formerly known as Reef) is the happiest most loving little guy and I know he must’ve been so loved before I got him. He’s the best!!

    My experience has been absolutely wonderful from then beginning. Tina is the first breeder I’ve worked with. She is very knowledgeable and very clearly cares about every single puppy. I discovered Harvey, formerly known as Rowan, and absolutely fell in love with him. I knew he was the one for me the second I saw him. He came home healthy and happy as can be. I am so thankful for Tina and love my sweet Harvey lots.
