Jr, dad
Dachshund
About Jr
Very sweet, gentle and quiet boy. He can be a guard dog when he REALLY senses a threat but for the most part has a very loving and mellow temperament. He would be rated low for energy level because he is happy and content with a simple daily walk and thats enough for him! We love Junior and he is our family and spoiled. Great with all children and all other dogs he meets, he does play and fetch when he wants to.

Julissa was fan`tastic. Provided all the information and history. Her and her husband met us half way to save on a long drive. Could not be happier with her professionalism and support.

Snoopy has been such an amazing addition to our family. The process of getting him was quick and easy, thanks to Julissa. He’s been the companion we’ve been searching for! ☺️
Kristie H.
Verified owner · July 2024
Julissa was very responsive and the puppy pickup went smoothly. We could tell she really loves her dogs. She took the time to socialize the puppy and start potty training before we picked him up. He is the sweetest, most playful dog we have owned, and we couldn’t be happier with Luigi.
