    Helena is amazing. From day one when the puppies were born, she contacted me and we immediately FaceTimed. I fell in love with Lancelot now Bailey. She sent videos and pictures of him regularly and upon request. She always responded with quickly and happily answered all my questions. Lancelot has the best personality and is amazing. I couldn’t be more pleased. She made the process so easy and pleasing. Hands down best experience! Look no further for a breeder. She’s your person. I wouldn’t change a thing. Helena, I can’t thank you enough.

    I had such a wonderful experience with Helena! She was kind, communicative, and clearly cares so much about the puppies. My Maggie came home happy, healthy, and well-socialized—it’s obvious she has been raised with love. Even after bringing my pup home, she has stayed supportive and thoughtful. I’m so grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dachshund 🐾💖

    Helena and Dogwood Mountain Dachshunds are wonderful. She is a breeder who truly loves the breed and wants to share her love of the breed through each puppy. Communicating with Helena is a breeze, she has a wealth of knowledge regarding the breed and has even been available for questions after bringing our precious pup home. Helena provides updates and pictures once you choose your pup, it was great to see your pup as they grow and interact with their mom and siblings and Helena’s family. If you are trying to choose a breeder, or on the fence about this breed, you will be making an excellent decision choosing Dogwood Mountain Dachshunds. We love our little girl, Pippa. She is a great addition to our family.

    Helena was so wonderful to work with. She really is so knowledgeable about dachshunds and you can tell how much she loves her dogs and by extension - our puppy. We were able to get to know our pup, his parents, litter mates, and all the other dogs in her home. We got countless photo and video updates as he developed and we excitedly awaited bringing him home. She met us at the airport with our perfect pup and gave us a goodie bag of supplies to make the trip home even easier. We love Loki so much and are so happy that he got so much love from Helena and her family during his first 8 weeks. Thank you Helena! Love, Rae, Kyle, & Loki

    We are so happy about our new pup and our experience. Helena is very compassionate and knowledgeable about animal care, empathetic to future owners and her pups. Our pup Frankie has great breed characteristics and is really engaged from the very start...clearly very loved and comfortable with his situation. Helena is an excellent business person and dog advocate, which we appreciated since this was a big step. We lost our beloved dachshund after 15 years and she was particularly helpful in the process. Frankie was able to seamlessly integrate a new environment (where we have an older dog) which suggests he had just the right amount of human and dog interaction.

Helena was helpful with providing information to help our puppy transition home. She regularly sent photos and even FaceTimed with our puppy. Working with her was a positive experience from start to finish.
