Piedmont Doxies

Piedmont Doxies, dachshund breeders in Hickory, NC, serves Catawba County and the Charlotte area. Marie Sipe has bred dachshunds for over ten years and holds memberships in national breed clubs, ensuring each breeding dog undergoes spinal, cardiac and genetic testing, including dwarfism panels. The puppies are raised indoors with constant human companionship, introduced early to household sounds, supervised interactions with children and other animals, and regular outdoor playtime.

Local veterinarians commend the pups’ balanced dispositions, and families appreciate detailed guidance on nutrition, grooming and training techniques. Many puppies have joined therapy programs thanks to their calm temperaments and adaptability. By emphasizing health, social readiness and ongoing support, Piedmont Doxies aims to foster lifelong bonds between dachshunds and their new families. Adult dogs share the household and live as companion pets, giving puppies a model for daily routines before joining new homes. Litters are born in floor-level whelping areas within the home to ensure warmth and monitoring from the first hours.
