Rhonda was very courteous and answered all my concerns prior to getting our puppy. She was also patient with me as it took several days to make our decision. Our puppy was very healthy and very happy. He has already brought so much joy into our home. The vet. care and all the paperwork was handled professionally. I have already spoken with Rhonda about another pup in the near future and I would recommend Dandy Dachshund to everyone!
