Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon T., the breeder behind From the Heart Doxies located in Ocala/Gainesville, 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.

    My experience with Shannon was so great! She provided so much helpful information before I brought my little guy home and set him and I both up for success. When I got him right at about 9 weeks, he was already fairly familiar with a crate and a litter box which made his transition easier. I would definitely recommend Shannon and From the Heart to anyone and everyone!

    My husband & I were ready to have a new dachshund puppy in our lives. I have owned dachshunds all my life, but our last one passed on a few years ago. We found “From the Heart Doxies” online, owned by Shannon Teuton. She was so quick to respond to my request for info on a puppy! She promptly sent me pictures of the puppies upbringing and a recent video! I fell in love with this puppy’s disposition & knew she was the perfect puppy for us! Shannon sent us information to prepare us for her homecoming…from recommended products & food to purchase, & how to continue with the puppies routine once she is home. She literally set us up for success!! Our little 8 week old Shellie has been home with us 2 nights. Last night she slept from 8pm - 6:50am & never whined once!!! I walked in to her room this morning to find her still asleep! Then she walked to her litter box within a small dog playpen & pooped & peed! I feel like we should change her name to “Miracle”!!! We are so grateful to have found Shannon. She adores her puppies, genuinely loves and cares for each one of her dogs & puppies, and is a pleasure to work with!!! This has been the most incredible, easiest transition of any puppy I have ever owned. It has me thinking of getting another from Shannon as a playmate for Shellie! ❤️ Pictures to follow…

    Shannon is the best!! She answers all of the questions even if they seem silly, she sends detailed information on what you’ll need for the puppy, how to transition them to their new homes and she even sends weekly pictures of your baby as they grow up! I loved working with her and I can’t be more grateful for my baby Suki!

    We got our puppy as a surprise for my son’s birthday and I went back and forth looking for the right breeder, browsing lots of pups. But I kept coming back to Shannon’s page each time. Something was pulling me in! Once I reached out and started talking with her, I knew she was the right choice. Shannon is incredibly thorough, communicative, and genuinely cares about every one of her puppies. The process was seamless and comfortable. You can tell she pours her heart and soul into raising them. We wanted a healthy, happy puppy that had the best possible start in a loving home and it’s obvious that’s exactly what Shannon provides. (My husband keeps saying.. “no more dogs” lol … But if we ever decide to add another furry member, Shannon will ABSOLUTELY be my first call!!)

    Shannon cares deeply about every puppy she raises. From the very beginning, she made the experience special, answering our questions, sharing updates, and helping us prepare to welcome our newest family member. The day Albert came home, our hearts instantly felt fuller. His curious eyes, playful personality, and endless affection brought so much joy into our lives. Even during a time when we were missing beloved pets who had crossed the rainbow bridge, Albert arrived with a gentle reminder that love continues to grow. He makes us laugh with his silly antics, melts our hearts with his cuddles, and fills our home with happiness. We are so grateful to Shannon for raising such a wonderful puppy and for helping bring Albert into our family. He has already become such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine our days without him. Thank you, Shannon, for giving us Albert. He is loved more than words can express.
