We got our dachshund puppy Lena from Joanna, and from the very first conversation she was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient in answering all of our questions. When we went to pick up Lena, she made sure we had all the information we needed and even more.
What really stood out to us is how much Joanna cares about her puppies. She has stayed in touch with us, always happy to receive updates about Lena, and she is still available whenever we have a question. It’s clear she loves and cares for her dogs deeply—even after they go to their new homes, they are still her babies.
We are so grateful for our wonderful experience with Joanna and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible breeder.

I recently purchased a dog from Bay Acres Dachshunds, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service and showed genuine care for the puppies and their future homes.
The breeder’s professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. They patiently answered all my questions, provided guidance on caring for my new puppy, and shared helpful tips to ensure a smooth transition to our home.
My new puppy, Piper Lila, is healthy, happy, and well-socialized. It’s clear that Bay Acres Dachshunds prioritizes responsible breeding practices and raises their puppies in a loving environment.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bay Acres Dachshunds to anyone looking for a miniature dachshund puppy. You can expect integrity, quality, and a truly wonderful addition to your family.
