Meet the breeder
I'm Lisa L., the breeder behind It’s a Hot Mess located in Lubbock, TX. I breed with passion and integrity so we’re able to responsibly contribute to growing this amazing breed. It’s important for me to share my love of this breed with others. I lost my first boy when he was only 8 yrs and it set me on my path to breeding. They really are amazing in every way and have had my heart for over 10 years.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
My MIL has bred doxies for years before I ever met my husband. She is where I got my first dachshund and sadly in 2021, my Mr. Rolo was lost in a tragic accident. I had to fill a void and find a dachshund to help me heal. My area of Texas had nothing to offer. So, I decided to embark on breeding these beautiful animals and making them available to people like me, closer to my hometown. I think they are amazing for families & kids and want to share that passion.What makes your program special?
I have a very small “program”, if that’s what you want to call it. I don’t believe in kennels or making them stay outside. My dogs all sleep with me, go on trips and always under my feet. I am their human and they are my babies. I embark dna test to make sure they are the healthiest possible with great demeanors. I hold myself to a high standard in all aspects, that includes my program.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 include longhaired and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include piebald, cream, red, brindle, black and tan, and chocolate and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

This was such an amazing experience! Lisa was always willing to answer questions and she kept us updated about our puppy! She sent us pictures regularly and you can tell she cares so much about her dogs. We love our new little guy, Bandit! I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely go to her again for a puppy!

Lisa was very personable when I arrived to pick up my new companion. She was also very informative about what to do and what not to do in helping my new dog to get used to their new surroundings. Lisa also provided informative literature, shot records, leash and a bag of food that my new companion was eating.

Lisa was so awesome to work with! I have been wanting an english cream dachshund for a while and she provided the perfect little addition to our family! She was super open to all the questions I had about this pup and his parent’s health background and always helped me with anything I needed. Even after getting our pup, Lennox, she guided me through vet stuff, shots, care, etc! Choose Lisa for help getting the puppy of your dreams! They come from such a great home!
