Meet the breeder

I'm Tamera C., the breeder behind ZMC Acres Doxies located in Flint, TX. Our dogs are our passion, they are members of our family. We incorporate them in every part of our lives. They enjoy couch surfing, daily exercise, and snuggles in our beds. We take many measures to raise healthy, well developed, happy and playful puppies as we prepare them for their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Tamera

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As a small child, I had a love for animals and desired to be a vet. I was first exposed to breeding while helping my folks breed their hunting dogs. I found the biological and medical aspects fascinating, but found myself drawn to witnessing the miracle of life. My love of animals coupled with my intrigue of biology has allowed me the knowledge to be responsible and selective in pairing adults.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our family works together to create the best possible start for our babies. We focus on all the little details so that when one of our babies enter your home it can be as smooth and comfortable of a transition as possible. Our hope is that they become a beloved member of your family for many years to come. This is a labor of love that we are continually trying to fine tune and improve upon.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    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?

    Our puppies include piebald, cream, red, black and cream, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Tamera from the beginning was such a great experience. Not only was she thorough but she gave me a peace of calmness that I know I was waiting for her to bring Winston into my life. You can tell she loves what she does and cares for the puppies and was always willing to answer all of my questions and even gave great feedback. I definitely recommend her for purchasing a daschund due to her being so great!
