Meet the breeder

I'm Kami H., the breeder behind Hart of Doxie located in Vale, OR. Welcome to our small, in-home Dachshund breeding program. I have been lucky enough to share my life with Dachshunds for 15 years, and breeding them has been a natural next step in a lifelong love for this remarkable breed. For the past two years, I have been carefully and thoughtfully building a program centered on healthy, well-socialized puppies and families who are as excited about Dachshunds as I am. My dogs are not kennel dogs—they are my pets first. They live in our home, sleep where they are comfortable, play in the yard, go on adventures, and are part of our daily lives. Every dog in my program is treated as an individual, with their own personality, routine, and place in our family. Breeding is something I take seriously, but it never comes before the happiness, comfort, and well-being of my dogs. Because I keep my program small, I am able to give each litter the time, attention, and hands-on care they deserve. Puppies are raised in a home environment where they experience everyday sights, sounds, handling, playtime, and plenty of love. My goal is for every puppy to leave here feeling secure, social, and ready to bond with their new family.

Q. & A. with Kami

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Dachshunds began 15 years ago, and it did not take long for them to become a permanent part of my life. Over the years, I learned just how special the breed is—their big personalities, loyalty, humor, and the way they truly become family. What started as simply loving and living with Dachshunds slowly grew into a deeper interest in the breed: their health, temperaments, coat colors, genetics, and what goes into raising happy, well-rounded puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    I believe responsible breeding begins with putting the dogs first. I strive to pair dogs thoughtfully, paying close attention to health, temperament, structure, and coat genetics. I value education and continue learning about the breed, canine genetics, and best practices for raising confident, healthy puppies. I also believe that a great puppy is more than a beautiful coat. While I genuinely enjoy the variety of colors and patterns Dachshunds can produce, my priority is always breeding happy, healthy dogs with wonderful temperaments. I want each puppy to grow into a beloved companion who brings joy, laughter, and loyalty to their new home.

  • 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.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
