I'm Karen F., the breeder behind Foley Dachshunds located in Humble, TX. I raise healthy, well-socialized longhaired dachshunds, focusing on early development, enrichment, and individual care. Puppies experience structured play, new environments, and proper nutrition, helping them grow into confident, loving companions ready to bond with their families.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding longhaired dachshunds after discovering my love for AKC events, FAST CAT competitions, and Field Trials. As an AKC-certified breeder in the Breed with H.E.A.R.T. program, I focus on health, temperament, and ethical breeding to help puppies reach their potential.
What makes your program special?
I focus on raising well-socialized, healthy longhaired dachshund puppies through early stimulation, structured play, and proper nutrition. Each puppy receives individual attention, early socialization, and exposure to new environments to build confidence and ensure they grow into loving, well-adjusted companions.
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 red, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Bluey
Bluey is a real spitfire! She is courageous and daring. She will be protecting the house from intruders one minute and on her back letting me hold her like a baby the next. I expect that she will produce puppies with amazing temperaments. She has reached Grand Champion status with the AKC and is a great testament to what a Dachshund should be. I am proud that she is my first dog bred in my kennel and is carrying the Foley Dachshunds name.

Mrs. Foley is an exceptional breeder! She truly cared for my Winston and made sure he was well cared for/healthy. She provided me with my sweet lil' buddy who loves being my lil' shadow! He likes to snuggle and give smooches. His zoomies always bring a smile to my face. He is a very vocal lil' guy and he fits in perfectly with us. She checks in on him still and I really appreciate it. I love my Winston and can proudly say that I would be happy to update her on him throughout his adventures and reccommend her to anyone looking for a new lil' furbaby. ❤️🐾

Very happy and healthy pup. My vet was impressed with the medical records and care our baby had received before we adopted her.

Karen's an awesome breeder! She really does her homework to be an ethical breeder to provide such wonderful puppies. Harlow (formerly Ross) is such a sweet, smart and playful boy! He already knew where to go for potty as Karen already started all pups on training. He's very social, and such a cutie. I'd definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a dachshund. 🤍

Karen is a wonderful breeder and always stayed in contact with me and sent me regular updates about my pup I would highly recommend her if you are trying to find your new fur baby!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
