The breeds we raise
Every breed we work with is chosen with care — get to know each one before starting your puppy journey.
Two breeds, chosen deliberately
We raise Boxers and Miniature Dachshunds in our home in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania. Two breeds is a decision, not a limit — it means we know both of them well, and we can tell you honestly which one fits the household you are describing.
They are very different dogs. Below is the short version of each, and the full guides go into temperament, grooming, training and health in more detail.
Boxer
Affectionate, loyal and protective, and happiest in the middle of family life. Most adults weigh between 50 and 80 pounds and stand roughly 21.5 to 25 inches tall, with a lifespan of 10 to 12 years. Their short coat sheds lightly to moderately and needs little more than weekly brushing. They are intelligent and eager to please, which makes them highly trainable — but they need real activity, around 60 to 90 minutes a day, and they get bored before they get tired. A good match for an active family with room to move.
Miniature Dachshund
A small companion with an outsized personality. Most weigh 11 pounds or less and stand 5 to 7 inches tall, and they live a long time — 12 to 16 years is typical. Shedding depends on coat type, with smooth coats needing the least grooming. They are clever but can be independent and stubborn, so consistency matters more than firmness. Thirty to forty-five minutes of daily exercise and mental stimulation suits most of them, which makes them workable in a smaller home. A good match for families who want a dog close by rather than out ahead.

Not sure which one
That is a normal place to start, and it is worth a conversation rather than a guess. Tell us about your household — children, other pets, how much of the day someone is home, how much walking you actually enjoy — and we will tell you which of the two we would put in your home, even if the answer is neither right now.
