Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Elegant Dachshunds-Eledox located in Washington, NC. We breed Miniature Dachshunds in our home. Our Dachshunds are apart of our family. Our dogs sleep in our beds, not in kennels. You can find Elegant Dachshunds on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest! We enjoy sharing our Dachshunds with our followers and we’re consider our puppy buyers family.

Kyle and Stephanie’s experience

  • About Kyle and Stephanie

    We are a typical American family with three children and lots of Dachshunds! We bought our first Dachshund soon after we got married and we were hooked! We’ve never been without one! I am a critical care nurse, and my husband is a pastor, author, Ph.D candidate, and teacher. We have two daughters and one son.

  • What makes Kyle and Stephanie’s program special

    Our Dachshunds don’t live in kennels or cages. They live in our house on our couches, in our beds, on our porch, and wherever they feel happy. We believe that the Dachshund temperament is unique and should be preserved, so we always take this into account when pairing dogs. Furthermore, we breed for conformation, not color or pattern. Dachshunds are hunters and we want to preserve that.
