I'm Royce D., the breeder behind Royce's Dashshunds located in Port St Lucie, FL. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! We are a small, in-home breeding program where we prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that we can. We cherish all of our animals and enjoy sharing the love of a Dachshund with other individuals and families!
Q. & A. with Royce
Why did you start breeding?
My wife's girlfriend (Carol) and I were talking one day and decided that she would get the Male (Logan) and I would bare the responsibility of the female (Pepper). So far we have had 2 litters and all is well.
What makes your program special?
We have a lot of love for dogs, especially Dachshunds.
I guess you can say we are like you. (Dog People)
I treat our dogs like people. Sometimes my wife of 35 years will tell others I think Royce loves the babies more than he does me, But I know she is just kidding.I have always had the Semper Fi attitude.
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 chocolate and cream and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
