Why choose us?

When you speak to a breeder, you’ll know if they are the right fit for you.

From the very first conversation, we hope to build a fantastic relationship where both sides feel comfortable and trust each other. We pride ourselves on creating family-like bonds with our puppy families, maintaining lifelong contact, and offering support whenever you need it.

We are a small, entirely family-run breeder with a 5-star council licence. All of our dogs and puppies live with us in our family home—they are truly part of our family. Their health, happiness, and wellbeing are always our top priority, and we do everything possible to ensure they have a positive, fulfilling life. We never rehome our dogs once they’ve had litters, and our beloved pet boys Spud and Little Red will always remain with us. Every one of our dogs stays for life, because they are not just pets—they are family.

My phone is always on, and whether it’s day or night, I’ll do my best to answer and help with any questions or worries you may have. It means so much to us that you feel supported every step of the way and that, by choosing us, you also become part of our extended family.

We are constantly learning and keeping up to date with the best care for dachshunds, and we take great pride in raising healthy, happy puppies. For example, we do not support the breeding of dilute coat colours due to health concerns such as Colour Dilution Alopecia (CDA). All of our dogs have had the relevant health checks and testing carried out by our vets to minimise risks, and every puppy receives a full veterinary examination before leaving for their new home. Our dogs and puppies are KC registered and hereditarily PRA clear. Each of our dachshunds has their own unique personality—as is typical of the breed—but they all share loving, outgoing temperaments that they pass on to their puppies.

When your puppy leaves us, they’ll come with everything they need for a smooth transition into your home. This includes a supply of their high-quality food (Butternut Box), full worming treatment with instructions for ongoing care, flea treatment information, their first vaccination, microchip, and KC registration. You’ll also receive all relevant paperwork and certificates, as well as 5 weeks of free insurance.

We also provide an extensive information booklet, covering topics such as socialisation and how to continue this at home. In addition, every puppy leaves with a beautiful personalised puppy pack (see photos below) which includes toys, treats, and blankets carrying the comforting scent of their mum and siblings—and much more. And, of course, you’ll have our lifelong support.

Alongside our breeding, we also run a 5-star council-licensed doggy daycare. This means your puppy is always welcome back for daycare if you’re nearby, or even for holiday care in the future. Please feel free to get in touch for more details.

Our dogs enjoy a wide range of enrichment activities every day, both indoors and outdoors. We’re lucky to have a large garden with dog agility equipment, ball pits, sandpits, and paddling pools for them to enjoy. Inside the house, we have a dedicated dog playroom, providing endless fun and stimulation. We’re also surrounded by beautiful lakes and woodland walks, as well as enclosed dog fields where the dogs can safely run free.

We love to keep in touch with our puppy families and host puppy parties at least once a year. These are wonderful opportunities to reunite, catch up, and see how your dachshund has grown. You can find photos of past meet-ups in our gallery. We also share regular updates on our Instagram page @doxieberrydachshunds.

Our Promises and Values

We believe that honesty, transparency, and care are at the heart of everything we do. Our promises to you are simple:

• Lifelong Support – we will always be here for you and your dachshund, no matter their age.

• Health and Welfare First – we will never compromise on our dogs’ wellbeing, and every decision we make puts their happiness and health above all else.

• Family for Life – our puppies are raised as part of our family, and we only place them with families who are ready to love them in the same way.

• Open Communication – you can always come to us with questions or worries, big or small, and we will support you every step of the way.

Ongoing Advice and Recommendations

Your journey with us doesn’t end when you take your puppy home. We offer ongoing advice to help with training, socialisation, behaviour, and general care as your dachshund grows. We are also happy to recommend trusted groomers, trainers, and vets, as well as provide guidance on nutrition and enrichment.

We want you to feel confident and supported, knowing that we’re only ever a message or phone call away. Our goal is for you and your puppy to enjoy the happiest, healthiest life together.
