Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon T., the breeder behind From the Heart Doxies located in Ocala/Gainesville Area, 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 24 all the way down to our youngest who is 5(No... We are not having any more). We have five Golden retrievers and 11 mini Doxies. I never actually had it in my mind to breed dogs it’s just something that happened about 14 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.

    My experience with Shannon and From the Heart was amazing! Shannon was incredibly responsive, answering all of my questions almost immediately and always being kind and helpful. That gave me complete confidence in choosing her to get my puppy. My puppy is simply perfect — healthy, beautiful, and everything I hoped for. It was absolutely worth the 5-hour drive to bring him home. I also highly recommend the Good Dog platform, the entire process was very smooth, simple, and fast. I’m truly grateful to Shannon for everything! 🥹🐶♥️

    Shannon was the sweetest and most informative breeder to work with. She was very prompt with her responses and sent a very helpful list of items and links for all the puppy items needed. I loved getting pictures and videos of cactus before his got ya day. I feel like I got the chance to understand his little personality. My experience with Shannon with the Heart Doxies was a pleasure and I would highly recommend using Shannon and The Good Dog platform. Another plus is I felt very comfortable making the payments through the Good Dog Platform.

    Shannon made this process so incredibly easy. I’ve never had an experience where someone was so responsive and quick to help with anything I needed. At pickup Shannon had everything ready to go for us, from paperwork to a goodie bag with our little guy’s name on it. Such an expected treat making the experience so much personal. Our little boy Benny is settling in so well and is already so loved, bringing so much joy to our home.

    Shannon was very informative on the process and very helpful going over the process and all the paperwork. I am in love with my puppy who came with treats, food, and toys. Loved working with her and would do it all over again.

    Shannon was beyond wonderful! From the moment we saw our puppy online, we loved him and knew we wanted to have him join our family. Shannon was responsive, shared info on our pup, lots of photos and videos to get us excited! The days leading up to Pick Up day, she shared everything we may possible need to bring our new pup home as well as links to items she uses. When we got our pup she was willing to work with us on time/date, shared some tips and recommendations and was so welcoming! We love our boy, Duke!!
