Meet the breeder

I'm Karen E., the breeder behind Life With Mini Paws located in Palm Bay, FL. We do our best to socialize and acclimate each litter so we’re able to offer all-around healthy and well-mannered puppies! We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.

Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We started to breed because we unfortunately lost a dachshund after 10 years and wished he had pups to keep one after his passing.

  • What makes your program special?

    We truly believe that these dogs are not only pets but our family. And we do our very best to keep them well mannered and play with the other pups as well as kids to make sure they are friendly enough to go to any house environment and be someone’s best friend.

  • 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 and chocolate and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
