Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am behind all that is Doxie View Acres.
Doxie View is truly a dream come true for me. It has allowed me the avenue to share all that I am passionate about, first and foremost, with my family, and more recently on a larger scale with my friends, extended family, and community (that continues to grow as more connections are made).
My husband and I are parents to four kiddos, and we choose to lead a life rooted in holistic care and whole body health.
To us, this means being as involved as possible in the process of raising/growing our own food. At Doxie View Acres, we annually raise our own hogs as well as chickens (for both meat & eggs), and keep a herd of dairy goats. We grow a large garden that provides for us year-round since we preserve for the off-season, and in all that we do, we focus on natural (organic as much as possible) practices. While we raise these animals as a way of sustenance, I take true pleasure in spending time with them and raising them all with love.
Another of my aforementioned passions is our pets! In addition to our farm animals, we have 4 cats and 6 dogs that are a part of our family. We chose to breed dachshunds after falling in love with the breed as a great family pet. Their versatility is unmatched; they are playful, cuddly, loyal, a bit stubborn, but also extremely smart! From tracking hunted game to being the best cuddle buddy, they are a joy. As a homeschooling family, our children are involved in the entire process of breeding. It teaches so many invaluable lessons to them while also producing well-rounded pups. All our dachshunds in our breeding program are first our pets and loved to no end! It is an honor provide others with a pet to love.
