Meet the breeder

I'm Holly B., the breeder behind Sugarbakers Kennel located in Ocala, FL. We raise adorable, affectionate, versatile puppies, & give them the best possible start for a life of companionship & love! We breed for the breed standard, temperament and health. We OFA & DNA test our dogs and are all clear. We only respond to those who take the time to fill out an application.

Q. & A. with Holly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We love the Dachshund breed! After the loss of our first dachshund (she came from a pet store because I didn’t know any better) who died from something that was never picked up on, and was avoidable, I decided to breed the healthiest dachshunds possible so no one would have to go through the same thing. We DNA test all of our dogs and offer a health warranty. Dachshunds are our passion & family.

  • What makes your program special?

    At Sugarbakers Kennel, we produce excellent companions. We understand the importance of dog health, temperament, & pedigree, & every breeding decision is made accordingly. We are also constantly improving our breeding program & work closely with top experts & the best veterinarians that specialize in genetics & reproductive health. All of our breeding dogs are shown for confirmation championships.

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
