Hi , Please let us introduce ourselves, we are David and Tammy Braglin.
We live about 15 miles South of Maryville Tennessee, or 30 miles South East of Knoxville, and about 90 miles north of Chattanooga, just off of Hwy 411. In a very small community called Greenback Tennessee (usually not on any maps).
We purchased 7 acres of land and an old farm house that needed a lot of work, and the land had only a very small portion of it cleared, about 10 years ago, with a gorgeous view of the Great Smokey Mountains. (East Tennessee has wonderful weather year round for our Doxies.)
David is an excellent carpenter and handyman, so we moved in, rolled up our sleeves and got busy working on repairing, remodeling, and working on the clearing of the land too. That was 10 years ago and we are almost done, Ha ! Ha! It will never probably be finished. There is always something else that needs to be done. Somewhere along the way we picked up the nickname of the "Busy B's", (we were always working on several projects at once) and we were
always buzzing around here working like little bees. David also has bee hives.
We have 5 boys, all grown now and moved out on their own. And we are now the very
proud grandparents of five perfect grandchildren (and more to come soon).
Tammy has always enjoyed working with dogs and animals all of her life, first at
Veterinarian offices, and then she had a grooming shop of her own, for many years after that.
Then her health started giving her serious problems.
That was when David got Tammy a little black and tan shorthair Miniature Dachshund puppy for her birthday, she really needed a friend. It was love at first sight and her name was "Sissy". Sissy and Tammy became truly inseparable. Sissy changed Tammy's life in such a good way, it was like a dream came true. A short time later some new neighbors moved in across the road from us and they also had a Dachshund and loved weiner dogs. They had a Male, "King Louie", he and Sissy became great friends, and then they had a litter of dachshund puppies, everyone wanted one of their puppies and we gave them all to friends, family and neighbors too. Still more people wanted dachshund puppies, so we decided to let Sissy have another litter.
Oh Heaven Help us all!!! Tammy loved raising the puppies, and she was hooked on miniature dachshunds even worse now.
So we got two more miniature dachshunds, from a Miniature Dachshund Breeder, and when Tammy got to their home, she found out that a Weiner dog comes in all of these different colors and patterns and in long and short hairs too.
She just had to have one of each . OH! NO!
Beware, I am warning you it is very contagious, and it is called "Dachshund-itis"
( We know because We have it really bad ! ! )
Well friends that was many years ago now, and things just keep getting better. So you see, this was never really planned. We became Dachshund Breeders because of our love for the Weiner dog, and our love for taking care of them, and raising dachshund puppies. We share our home and our lives with our Doxie family. We are totally devoted to miniature dachshunds, each one of our Doxies are our loving family pets, and we truly love and treasure each one of them. Before we knew it they had taken over and thank Heavens above, they liked us too, and they allow us to stay! ! We are Responsible Miniature Dachshund Breeders and raise ONLY Dachshund puppies.
In our opinion the Weiner dog is the best little family pet ever. They are such adorable sweet puppies, they are so lively and full of spirit. They love to cuddle all of the time. They love children and other pets too. As they mature they develop into such devoted, loyal family members. Each one of them has their own distinct and unique personality, with their own special characteristics. They still amaze us every day.
We have been truly blessed with a wonderful life and lots of hard work to keep us busy. But it is truly a labor of love, and we would not dream of changing it, for anything in this world. Every day we wake up excited and anxious (even if we are still tired from the very long day and night before, and believe me, there are quite a few of those around here) waiting to see, what today will bring our way. We enjoy being able to provide loving families with healthy quality Dachshund pups.
We Thank God for happy healthy lives, and peaceful, warm hearts, full of family, good
friends, and Doxies. We treasure them all. We strive very hard to provide our adult miniature dachshunds and our dachshund puppies with the same, happy, healthy lives, full of love, friends, and plenty of healthy, good food, and a large, safe, comfortable, and clean home and environment to grow and live in.
Our puppies are born in our home and given lots of special loving attention, every day. They are raised with plenty of room to run, jump, play and grow from day one. (Please read the wonderful Poem "What is a Breeder" with a capital " B" the link is just below this text box to the left side.)
What a life for us, we usually have some puppies, of some age, somewhere. Always pulling at our shoe laces, tumbling and rolling around, playing at our feet. Again I repeat,
WHAT A LIFE ! ! ! !
Hi , this information is provided for those who may have questions about breeding a litter of pups.
We have been asked by many people, What do we need to do if we are interested in breeding a litter of puppies? There is not one simple answer to that question.
Or What are our practices here at Busy B Doxies ?, What all is involved in the process of breeding and raising a litter of puppies?? What about ; The cost, the time, the devotion, and much more ? again, there is not one simple answer to these questions either.
SO we decided to provide you with AKC's -- A GUIDE TO BREEDING YOUR DOG,
just click on the little " just hanging around puppy" to the left here and open the AKC information sheet.
I hope this helps to answer your questions !!
