    Jessica was wonderful. From the very first message to the moment we picked up our new puppy, she kept me updated and made the whole process easy . Her communication was excellent, and you can tell she truly cares about her puppies. We’re already completely in love with our little boy. We couldn’t recommend Jessica enough.

    An Unforgettable Experience with Jessica – A True Dog Breeder Gem! If you’re in search of a dog breeder who combines passion with integrity, look no further than Jessica! From the initial connection with her to the day of pick up, it was evident that she is not just a breeder—but a dedicated dog lover who truly cares about the well-being of her pups and their future homes. After visiting her facilities, we were absolutely impressed. The environment was clean, spacious, and vibrant, with plenty of room for the dogs to play and interact. It's clear she fosters not just breeds. When we finally met our new furry friend, it felt like discovering a treasure. Jessica had already started the socialization process, so he was happy, curious, and incredibly well-behaved. She provided us with an invaluable starter pack—a bag of the food he’s been eating, toys he loved, all sorts of puppy essentials and a detailed guide on how to transition him to his new home. It was less of a transaction and more of a transition; she truly wants to ensure her pups thrive in their new environments. Throughout the process, Jessica remained approachable and supportive, eager to answer any questions. Even after we brought our puppy home, she still checked in to see how we were adjusting. That level of care speaks volumes about her character and commitment to her role as a breeder In an industry where the risks of puppy mills and neglect loom large, Jessica stands out as a beacon of hope for mini doxie lovers. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose her. If you are considering adding a furry family member through a responsible and loving breeder, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. You’re not just purchasing a puppy; you’re gaining a supporter and a friend for life!

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have one of your dogs. Jessica you were super helpful through out the entire process of getting my first dog. Very attentive to your clients and hands on with your dogs. My dog was exactly the same as what I saw in the pictures and videos, if anything smaller and cuter. Thank you for sharing your space, I was able to feel comfortable from the beginning of the process till the end. The dog is doing amazing so far, and he will be 10 weeks soon. 🥰🩵

    We got our two new dachshunds from Jessica and the experience from beginning to end was everything I could have wanted. She was very responsive to my first messages and I just got a good vibe from her. After I put down my deposit on our pup we got daily photo updates and information about our girls as their personalities started to develop. Jessica was super helpful at answering every question we had, pick up was a breeze, and I fully believe the way she raised her pups really set them up for success in their new homes. I highly recommend Cherished Dachshunds for anyone looking for a dachshund and would most definitely go through Jessica for any dogs in the future.
