Brenda was great to work with! She was responsive and helpful with any questions we had as new puppy owners. The entire process was very easy. Brenda has already reached out to see how the puppy is doing and we really appreciate that! I would recommend her to anyone looking to bring home a mini dachshund puppy. We are so excited to have one as our own. Here are some pictures of Winnie - we love her so much already!
