Dawn’s experience

  • About Dawn

    Hi I'm Dawn the owner of Williams Family Dachshund's. I have had doxies my whole life. My very first doxie was a black and tan smooth coat whom my mother got when I was 3 years old. Ever since then there hasn't been a day go by that I haven't owned one. Our dogs are apart of our family and breeding has become a whole family adventure!

  • What makes Dawn’s program special

    My Dachshunds aren't just dogs they are apart of my family. They live in the house, sleep on the couch and are an intricate part of my family's day to day life. All my pups come extremely well socialized with daily interaction starting at day 3 of life. My girls whelp in my room and stay in there with me for the first several weeks so I can always be there to make sure things are going well. All my dogs are Embark tested to ensure their puppies will always be as healthy as I can make possible.
