Breeder of Dachshunds

Meet the breeder

I'm Tanya L., the breeder behind Smokehouse Doxies located in Maumelle, AR. We’re a retired couple in central Arkansas raising AKC long-haired mini Dachshunds in our home. After raising six kids, we became empty nesters and turned our love for our dogs into a small breeding program.

Q. & A. with Tanya

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After raising six kids and becoming empty nesters, we missed the joy of a full house. With retirement and more time at home, we turned our love for our dogs into a small, in-home breeding program. Our pets are family, and now we share that joy by raising happy, healthy puppies to bring love and laughter to other families.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes us special is the heart behind every puppy. We’re a small, in-home breeder focused on connecting the right dogs with the right families. Each pup goes home with our Smokehouse Doxie Kit, including basic care tips, a health record, and a keepsake first-year journal—because every puppy’s story deserves a meaningful start.

  • 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 cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Tanya

Tanya has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Tanya partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“At Smokehouse Doxies, we are proud to be ethical, in-home breeders—not a puppy mill. Our puppies are raised as part of our family, and it’s important to us that they are placed in homes where they will be loved, cared for, and truly valued. We take time to thoughtfully match each puppy with the right family. Our goal is to ensure every home is prepared for the lifelong commitment of owning a dog, including providing proper veterinary care, nutrition, and a safe, nurturing environment. We believe our puppies deserve families who will treat them as cherished members of the household. Because of this, we reserve the right to select the best fit for each puppy based on lifestyle, readiness, and overall compatibility. Our priority is simple: happy, healthy puppies placed in loving, responsible homes where they will thrive.”
