Linda was very responsive and stayed in touch throughout the whole process and sending me weekly pupdate pictures! Was very easy to plan pickup and was accommodating of my long drive. My puppy was healthy, clean and in perfect condition.

Let me just begin with how wonderful my experience was with Linda. She offered to accommodate however necessary with getting my puppy, as well as insisted on following up with her as time goes on to check on my puppy’s progress, how we are both doing, and to reach out with any questions. Since having her for a week she has already reached out to see how everything has gone for me through this experience. She made everything stress free, and only made the excitement of her arrival the thoughts going through my mind. Absolutely wonderful. My puppy has adapted insanely quick, has crate & potty trained (outside) in one week, and provided so much joy in my life. The smartest dog I have yet to have and is the most loving to new people she meets. Thank you Linda, and I am already considering her a partner in the nearer future…

We are so grateful for Linda, she was amazing to work with! She kept us updated throughout the whole process with pictures and health updates. Our girl is perfect and you can tell she was well cared for. Linda and her husband Chris were flexible when our flight nanny had to make a last minute change in the delivery date. We couldn’t be more thankful for our newest family member!

I couldn’t believe how I fell in love with Shaded cream boy (Fletcher) the minute I saw his picture. I had been looking and searching for a reliable breeder for a long time. It is a very big decision to make and very difficult to find a reliable breeder. That is until I found Linda B Down south Mavericks Dachshunds. Linda was very easy to work with and kept me informed and sent pictures. I have complete confidence in her
