Meet the breeder

I'm Lara H., the breeder behind Gillian’s Darling’ Doxies located in Milo, MO. I take great pride in raising healthy, happy, well-socialized puppies with wonderful temperaments. Each puppy is raised with lots of love, attention, and care from the very beginning. My hope is to help every puppy find a loving family where they will be treasured just as much as they are here on our farm.

Q. & A. with Lara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our journey into breeding began with a deep love for dachshunds and a commitment to raising them responsibly on our family farm. We prioritize the health, well-being, and temperament of every dog through thoughtful breeding practices, attentive care, and appropriate veterinary support. Country living gives our dogs plenty of space to explore, play, and enjoy farm life while remaining cherished members of our family.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are dedicated to providing each puppy with a healthy foundation and the individual care they need before joining their new family. Our goal is to place every puppy with a loving, committed home where they will be treasured for life, and we remain available to support our families throughout their dog’s lifetime.
  • 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 piebald, red, chocolate and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
