Meet the breeder
I'm Shannon B., the breeder behind Shans Down Home Doxies located in Hockley, TX. Breeding Dachshunds isn’t just a hobby—it’s a true passion and a way of life for me. What started as a love for their long bodies, loyal hearts, and spunky personalities quickly grew into a small, purposeful breeding program built on care, quality, and connection. My program is intentionally small, which means every dog and puppy receives all the love, attention, and socialization they deserve. I believe in raising Dachshunds that are not only beautiful representations of the breed, but also happy, healthy, and ready to become lifelong companions. Each litter is carefully planned with health, temperament, and breed standards in mind. All of my pups are raised right here in my home as part of the family. From the moment they’re born, puppies are surrounded by warmth, love, and the sights and sounds of daily life—giving them the best start possible.

Our puppies include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
