    We worked with Sissy to get our second little dachshund and she had such a smooth and informative process! It was obvious that she took great care of him, he is such a funny and adorable little guy!

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Sissy. We’re located in Washington state, and even though Sissy is based in Indiana, she went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free for us. She worked closely with us to coordinate everything and provided detailed weekly updates, which we really appreciated. Especially getting to see how the puppy we picked was doing as she grew. Sissy also made sure we were fully prepared to bring our puppy home with us on the plane, providing clear instructions and helpful guidance on how to care for her once she arrived. She was communicative, kind, and genuinely cared about placing her puppies in loving homes. Our puppy arrived healthy and happy and has had no health issues, which really speaks to the care she provides. We always felt informed and supported throughout the process, and our puppy already feels so special to us. We would absolutely recommend Sissy to anyone looking for their new best friend.

    Sissy was always responsive and sent updates regularly and when I asked for extra pics. I dealt with another breeder for a previous puppy I got for my parents, as well as one the previous year for myself. Those dogs both tested positive for Giardia, and I shared how frightening and frustrating this was for me. Sissy assured me my puppy Jaxx would be healthy and he in fact has been. He's an amazing little guy and you can tell her puppies are raised to have a great temperament. He was very far along on his potty training when I got him, which has made it easier for me also. He's going on 7 months and is happy, healthy, and thriving. I periodically send pics with updates to Sissy and she responds promptly with compassion like she still cares about the precious babies she sends to homes. This is something she does for a living, but your can tell she truly enjoys it and she's not a negligent, irresponsible breeder. Thank you Sissy for my precious gift, you will always hold a place in my heart!
