Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon T., the breeder behind From the Heart Doxies located in Sparr, FL. As a conscientious breeder I strive for loving, socialized, well bred and sound puppies that our first and foremost family members. I do not allow breeding right.. I stand behind the health, structure, and temperament of my puppies and select forever homes that best fit the unique personalities of each puppy. They are PET ONLY.

Q. & A. with Shannon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I live on my husband‘s family farm it is been in his family for four generations now. We help raise beef cattle, green peanuts, and hay. My husband also works for the USDA. Agriculture runs in his blood😂. We have six beautiful children together ranging in age from 31 all the way down to our youngest who is 11 (No... We are not having any more). We have 18 mini doxies. I never actually had it in my mind to breed dogs it’s just something that happened about 15+ years ago. I absolutely fell in love with it and just slowly pursued it. I am a small in-home breeder, I do everything on our family farm and in my own home. I like that it’s small and family-owned. We all chip-in and help.
  • What makes your program special?

    The puppies I breed are very much loved and spoiled from their very first breath until they are eight weeks of age and leave my home. They are surrounded by love from my children and all the farmland which I think is an amazing start for them in life. I also do a spay and neuter contract. I will make exceptions for certain circumstances only after communicating and finding out more about you. I hope this helps and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
  • 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 cream, red, wild boar, black, chocolate, brindle, fawn (isabella) and cream, wild boar and tan, wild boar and cream, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, black and tan, and black and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Shannon was so helpful throughout the whole process and answered all my questions quickly!! She was so sweet and I definitely feel like our puppy was the perfect fit. Alfredo fits in perfectly with my family and I know he was in good hands with her. He was well loved and was send home with us with a goodie bag of food, treats, and a blanket! I would for sure work with her again!! :)

    Shannon was very good at communicating. She helped me get prepared on being Luna home. Shannon was very fast on responding about any questions I had about Luna. Thanks to her I am about to have my Luna home.

    We had such a wonderful experience with Shannon at From the Heart Doxies! From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. You can truly tell how much she loves and cares for her dogs and puppies, which made the entire experience feel so special. She kept us updated along the way, answered all of our questions, and made the process of bringing home our sweet baby girl exciting and stress-free. Our puppy is absolutely precious, and we already love her more than we could have imagined. 🐾🤍 We are so grateful to Shannon for trusting us with one of her babies and for making this such a positive experience for our family. I would absolutely recommend From the Heart Doxies to anyone looking to add a beautiful, well-loved dachshund to their family. We couldn’t be happier! 🤎

    Our experience with Shannon was amazing!!! We ended up getting 2 puppies and got our mini aussie from a difference breeder and you can definitely tell the difference between the care and love given to her puppies vs other breeders. She is super attentive and takes such good care of your new furry family member before they get to you

    Shannon was wonderful to work with! As a first-time dog owner, I had plenty of questions, and she was always so responsive and helpful. She was also very flexible with my pickup schedule and made sure I felt completely prepared to bring my puppy home. The entire pickup experience was easy, smooth, and wonderful. I’m so grateful for all of her help!

    I literally cannot say enough good things about Shannon from From the Heart Doxies! We found the puppy of our dreams! Our dog came to us well socialized, happy and healthy. At 8 weeks, she already had a good understanding of potty training and has been a dream! Shannon’s communication was excellent through the whole process and she absolutely set us up for success in bringing our baby home! From photo and video updates, to recommendations and tips, we felt very prepared and supported the whole way. We would honestly never consider buying a doxie from anyone else!
