Meet the breeder

I'm Billie K., the breeder behind Illyria Dox & GSD located in Livingston, KY. I breed according to the FCI requirements. My GSD are bred for work, function, Pedigree, and conformation. My Dachshunds are bred by conformation & pedigree. My productions have been consistent. Since April of 2025 I have done some pretty big things and collected over 200 flat ribbons and rosettes!

Q. & A. with Billie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was extremely lucky with the couple dogs that I had got from my niece. It snowballed from there. I have awesome breed mentors I defer to constantly. I’m very thankful for their guidance.

    Since April of 2025 I have completed UKC Championships on two dogs (a third needs one more win)! A group four placement (runner up in the hound group). BOV, Multiple BOB, 2 POA,Multiple Class wins, BOS, ranked NOHS, UKC SPOT, CGC, CGCA, CGCU, TKN, TKI, VHMP, VHMA, AKC points off memory. At this point I have 200 placement ribbons including Rosettes with 4 possibly 5 remaining shows for Fall 2025.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Illyria Dox & GSD reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Dachshunds.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Brucellosis

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Lafora Disease (LD)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Working with Billie was great. She was very responsive answering all questions and providing updates regularly. She provides so much at pickup and support after pickup, if you are looking for a breed she has, I highly recommend her.

    Fabian V.

    Verified owner · June 2025

    Billie responded quickly to all my messages, and answered all the questions I had about the puppy. He was very professional and facilitated a very smooth transition to get the puppy to me over 800 miles away! The only improvement I have for Billie is to notify if the pup is coming home with fleas. A courtesy of letting me know would of helped alot to prep for when I got the puppy. Other than that I am super happy with my new pup. She really has opened up and it shows that she comes from a high caliper pedigree. Thanks Billie!

    Billie was quick to respond to any and all my questions. The transaction was very easy. Setting up delivery was a little confusing, but we got through that okay too. Overall, I would say it was a good experience.
