Meet the breeder

I'm Kelly D., the breeder behind PapaDox Miniature Dachshunds located in Town Creek, AL. We are lifelong Dachshund lovers, having had this breed for over 40 years. We’ve reached the point in our lives where we are able to devote the time and energy to responsible breeding. Our AKC registered dachshunds live in our home and are well loved. All parents are genetically tested. Pups are socialized daily and pad trained.

Q. & A. with Kelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mother was a breeder for years and before she started, we always had Dachshunds, with my first one being nearly 45 years ago.
  • What makes your program special?

    We have a very small program—we focus on their health and well being, first. We are doing this out of love for the breed! Yes, we are small, but we want to be sure our dogs know they’re loved and not just a possession.
  • 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 red, black, chocolate, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We got our sweet Maple girl from Kelly almost two weeks ago, and she is already so spoiled and loved beyond measure! I cannot praise Kelly enough for how amazing and involved she was throughout this entire process. She was timely with her responses, answered all of my questions and concerns, and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed when our pup came home! We live 8 hours away from her, and she even assisted with transporting our pup to us, which made our lives a million times easier! I cannot recommend her enough! Our family is now complete with our sweet Maple girl, thanks to Kelly!

    Kelly was so responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. She is a true professional and her genuine care for the puppies was evident. Kelly made sure we had all the information and supplies we needed to prepare for our puppy and was so sweet when we met in person!!! I would highly recommend PapaDox to anyone looking for a new dachshund puppy. It is clear that Kelly and her family go to great lengths to make sure all their puppies are happy and healthy. We are so happy with ours :)
