Ryan was very helpful and knowledgeable about any questions I had about our new puppy. He would send updates about Oliver (aka Nico) before we were able to bring him home. I would highly recommend anyone getting a puppy from Caines Dachshund Farm if you are looking for a dachshund. They are wonderful!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Caines Dachshund Farm! Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and responsive to all of our questions throughout the entire process. It was clear from the beginning how much he truly cares about his dogs and prioritizes good breeding practices.
Our new puppy, Charlie (formerly Gavin), is an absolute bundle of energy and joy. He’s a fantastic addition to our family, and our kids instantly fell in love with him. Charlie has such a sweet, playful personality, and it’s evident he came from a loving, well-cared-for environment.
Even our existing dachshund, Ember, couldn’t be happier! We’ve always wanted to find her a playmate.
We are so grateful to Ryan and Caines Dachshund Farm for giving us the perfect new addition to our family. If you’re looking for a dachshund breeder who genuinely loves and cares for their dogs, we highly recommend them! Thank you, Ryan, for bringing Charlie into our lives!

We had a fantastic experience with Caines Farm. Matilda (nee Noelle) is the best girl, so smart and so sweet. We love her and will surely work with you all again if/when we are ready for pupper #2!!! Thank you so much!

Ryan has been so helpful and great to work with. Ryan was very responsive. We loved being able to see puppy play time with their kids. Ivan, now Chewie, is such a blessing. He started off really well with the pee pads and has been a very sociable dog right off the bat. He is such a sweet puppy (even if he is a little baby shark). We are so excited to make so many wonder memories with him.

Ryan was very helpful, met us on time and really wanted to hear our story of why we wanted little Harley, he is now Franky. Ryan and Karol are super professional and have such healthy furbabies.
