I'm Susanne M., the breeder behind Bella’s Puppies located in St Louis, MO. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours! The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to bring happy, healthy puppies into the lives of other families! They are pedigreed.

Suzanne is an extraordinary dachshund breeder who exceeded our expectations in every way! From the moment we showed interest in a puppy, she showered us with kindness and knowledge. Suzanne patiently answered all our questions and provided us with invaluable tips and recommendations for welcoming our first puppy. Her thoughtfulness and dedication were evident from the start. She regularly sent us updates, including adorable pictures and videos of our puppy, allowing us to form a bond even before bringing them home. To our surprise, Suzanne provided a comprehensive goodie bag filled with essential items, ensuring a smooth transition for both the puppy and us. Even after we brought our puppy home, Suzanne continued to support us. She followed up to ensure our comfort and provided guidance on bedtime routines and general puppy care. Suzanne's expertise in dachshund breeding shone through, resulting in a happy, healthy, and well-socialized puppy! Highly recommended! :)
