Amanda is incredible. From holding on to our Eddie girl a couple extra days, helping me navigate transportation to her and just the love and support she showed to us, I can’t recommend her enough. Every question was answered and I never had to second guess anything. She truly cares about what she does and it’s absolutely evident in her pups. Thank you for helping us find our precious little girl, Amanda! ❤️

I had the best experience with Mrs. Amanda. We're a family of five with a senior dog. We were in search of a new addition to our family. I've always loved Dachshunds and found the perfect boy for our family. Ace is the most fun, energetic, funny little guy, and I can't imagine we lived life without him. He brings so much joy to my kids and gives our senior dog a best friend. Watching their relationship grow brings so much joy and comfort, knowing we made the best decision. Amanda was so knowledgeable and helpful with the questions I had. She was gracious enough to change her schedule for us to meet halfway. She supplied us with the perfect amount of help in the beginning. Couldn't recommend her enough!

Amanda gave me the perfect experience for getting my dream dog. She is so knowledgeable about the breed and answered any questions I had. I love the fact she takes her time taking perfect pictures of all the puppies to really capture their personalities in them. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better fur baby to bring home!

After losing my little pie girl, I had been looking for that perfect pup for quite some time. When I saw Mary, I thought that she could be the one! I contacted Amanda and asked her so many questions. She was very patient with me and gave me honest and knowledgeable answers. Amanda was wonderful to work with. She sent updates and pictures weekly until we could go get Mary. Mary has the best personality and temperament. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Amanda for sending Mary our way!

I cannot say enough good things about Amanda and Diamond 5R Ranch. We drove from Georgia to Louisiana to pick up our girl, Dixie Rae (formerly Aurora). Amanda was easy to work with and her puppies are amazing!

Amanda was amazing. She was super helpful with all my questions and super responsive. She cares a lot about all of her puppies which is why I went with her to get our sweet Jasmine. From my experience our puppy is just perfect and fits in wonderfully with our family!
