Meet the breeder

I'm Lesley K., the breeder behind STORIED DOXIES located in Medina, OH. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies. It’s a privilege to make an impact on each puppy! We are in CLE Ohio, and our fenced yard is adjacent to the CVNP- and within the NEO Valley. Follow me on Instagram @storieddoxies to have a look! Thank You!

Q. & A. with Lesley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My daughter Lane bought a doxie, Remi, when we returned to Medina from the NYC area, hence our tag “On, In, Over Medina Lane” homage to Remi, Lane and our home town. Then we added Skidmore, a buddy for Remi. They were separated when she was in heat, but nature took its course! We fell in love with the breeding process and the joy of curating litters and bringing healthy puppies to loving families.
  • What makes your program special?

    We love our dogs, and have selected each and every adult with your puppies in mind; we hope we can provide all families with the loving pet or show potential puppy they seek. We have wonderful lines and most have champions in them - but we understand not all puppies are destined for the ring, some are just meant for your hand and heart - as the most “flawless” dog is the one that makes you happy!
  • 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, red, chocolate, brindle, fawn (isabella) and tan, fawn (isabella) and cream, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, blue and tan, blue and cream, black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    From our very first conversation, it was evident that Lesley cares deeply about matching the right family with the right dog. Her love for the breed comes across in every interaction, and more than anything else — bringing HEALTHY dachshunds into the world. Keeping us updated regularly, not just on our litters' progress, but also on health checks and genetic testing was always top of mind. Just from following on social media, it’s easy to see how loved the dogs in her care are. Mothers are regularly retired to find their own forever homes, more than just a few ring champions are produced, and happy, healthy dogs. Communication was consistent and clear with regular photos and updates, and Good Dog made the whole process feel seamless. As someone who’s had the breed for more than two decades, I usually don’t recommend dachshunds as a breed for beginners. They’re neither easy nor for the faint of heart! But if you’re bringing one of these wonderful little rascals into your life, I can’t recommend Storied Doxies highly enough. Healthy dogs born to healthy mothers, and a breeder who is passionate and knowledgeable — you can't ask for more than that!

    We found Lesley and Storied Doxies through Good Dog and had a wonderful experience. I chose her based on the great reviews and photos, and she did not disappoint! We brought home Archie, our mini Dachshund, and he is everything we hoped for—confident, healthy, and full of personality. He already knew his name and was doing great with pee pads, which made the transition so easy. We absolutely love him and are so grateful to Lesley. Highly recommend Storied Doxies! 💛

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Lesley and StoriedDoxies. From day one, Lesley was incredibly responsive, kind, and thorough. She had the most detailed and thoughtful application we came across, which immediately showed how much she truly cares about placing her puppies in the right homes. Since this was our first time using Good Dog, she walked us through the process and made everything feel easy and stress-free. In the weeks leading up to bringing our puppy home and even after, Lesley remained an amazing source of support. Her communication was consistent, helpful, and genuine — she truly cares about every puppy she brings into the world and every family that adopts one. Shortly after coming home, our sweet Poppy experienced a health hiccup with puppy hypoglycemia. Through this scary moment, Lesley went above and beyond. She knew exactly what Poppy needed and graciously took her back so she could be with her mama and sister under her care. With Lesley’s attentiveness, experience, and dedication, Poppy quickly stabilized, regained her appetite, and began thriving again. A few weeks later, Lesley called to let us know Poppy was doing well and that we could still bring her home if we wanted. We were beyond thrilled and so grateful for the love and integrity Lesley showed throughout the entire experience. Today, Poppy is a healthy, happy, thriving little girl — full of energy, cuddles, and nonstop play. She is truly the light of our lives. Lesley is everything you hope for in a breeder: knowledgeable, honest, compassionate, and deeply devoted to her dogs. We could not recommend StoriedDoxies more highly. Our puppy is absolutely beautiful, healthy, and such a joy — and we are forever grateful to Lesley for bringing Poppy into our lives.

    Leslie with Storied Doxies was very responsive and easy to work with. II was important to me to find a reputable breeder with many years of experience with this breed. Our Teddy is a very sweet and healthy boy, even though he was the smallest pup in the litter. I’m thrilled with his pedigree and can’t wait to watch him grow into the most handsome miniature dachshund ever!

    Lesley has been such a blessing and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was very patient and always responsive. She worked to find the perfect puppy for me, provided pictures and videos weekly, answered all my questions throughout the process, and even after I got home with my sweet Blu. Blu is a happy and healthy puppy and is definitely a firecracker!! I have never worked with a breeder and my experience with Lesley has been exactly what i needed to feel confident and sure. If you’re looking for a mini dachshund I absolutely recommend Lesley and Storied Doxies!
