I got a mini dachshund from Patricia’s who came recommended by a friend. Our puppy is healthy, we couldn’t be happier. She’s a sweet cuddly puppy also full of energy! Patricia was very responsive, I can tell she’s a careful and sweet breeder who puts the well being of her puppies first. If I had to get another puppy, I wouldn’t hesitate to get one from Patricia

If you’ve been dreaming of a dachshund but are unsure about finding the right breeder, look no further than Patricia and her husband! They are truly amazing, and I couldn’t be happier I found them. I didn’t think twice about traveling across states to bring home our new fur baby. Dachshunds are a unique and special breed, and Patricia and her husband understand this deeply. Their knowledge and dedication are unmatched. Thank you for our wonderful AKC dachshund, Pinocchia!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience getting a dachshund puppy from Patricia and her family! From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated to ensuring their puppies go to loving homes. You can tell they put so much love and care into breeding because my puppy is absolutely perfect—healthy, well-socialized, and full of personality!
Patricia kept me updated throughout the process, sending pictures and updates, which made the experience even more special. It’s clear that she and her family are passionate about what they do, and it truly shows in the quality of their puppies. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-bred, loving dachshund. Thank you, Patricia, for giving me the perfect little companion!

Patricia is responsive and provides lots of updates about the puppies. I received so many pictures! She provided all previous medical information. She takes such good care of her puppies, and I can definitely attribute Bean’s temperament to her care.
