The Doxie Suite

An Extension Of My Home

First built in 2021, the Doxie Suite has been our dedicated doggy bedroom and grooming space. After several years of enthusiastic use, it was in need of some repairs and a redesign to incorporate a few things I had learned since the original build. We spent the fall of 2026 tiling floor & walls, and refreshing the space. 

The suite features a professional grooming station, large crates for sleeping with a buddy, treat dispensers, privacy for completing breedings, and ample storage for food, toys, and supplies. It’s temperature-controlled to keep them comfortable year-round and equipped with cameras so I can check on them whenever I’m away. The Doxie Suite isn’t just a bedroom, it’s a reflection of the love and care they deserve.

They also enjoy a large play yard with dog houses, raised beds, a tunnel, big logs and boulders for sunbathing, a faux fire hydrant, seasonal pool, and butterfly-friendly landscaping, perfect for chasing their favorite fluttering snacks. They are free to dig to their hearts content, and zoom around like wild dogs in an epic wiener parade. 

Even though they have their own special space, my dachshunds are an inseparable part of our daily life. They follow me from room to room, curl up on the couch, and live as cherished family members.

A Safe & Nurturing Start for Every Pup

In addition to the Doxie Suite, our mamas are lucky enough to have a large dedicated nursery! In this space, moms have privacy from the other adult dogs, helping them relax and focus on their babies’ well-being. It’s a calm and secure environment where they feel safe, yet it still allows the puppies to experience everyday household life. They are naturally exposed to the sounds, sights, and activity of a busy family home, including children. This early socialization helps them develop into well-adjusted companions, ready to thrive in their future homes.

As the pups grow, their space grows with them! Our whelping pens are modular and expand as needed to make room for play equipment, intro to crates, and litter trays. 

We are currently renovating the nursery and will be adding new photos after the final touches are complete!
