Elizabeth was very kind and knowledgeable about mini dachshunds. She facilitated the process with an agreed upon date and time to meet. She provided all the necessary records, a collar and dog toy, plus food for the journey home. Elizabeth seems like such a natural with doxies. Hitch has adapted to our home and has made friends with our Husky; very much Frick and Frack. We have quickly fallen in love with Hitch as we have with Skye. Our home is complete! Thank you!

Elizabeth was just the best!!! She was super responsive from the beginning and was able to communicate everything in order for a smooth pick up. Our sweet little puppy is just the best! He has changed our lives and has brought so much joy into it. We cannot thank Elizabeth enough and cannot recommend her enough!! 10/10 experience!

Elizabeth was wonderful to work with. She sent me several updates on how Fritz was doing to include pics and videos. I felt connected long before I took him home.

We found our forever friend! Buddy is the sweetest, most sociable dachshund puppy we ever could have asked for — clearly the result of having spent his early days happy and active and surrounded by love.
We would recommend Lizzy and Doxie Darlings to anybody — in fact we already have. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the breed and her pups, and does a lot to set them up to transition smoothly to their forever homes. And she was so kind, and generous with her time, and easy to work with — it made this big family decision a breeze.
