I take full responsibility of every little soul we produce . Not only do we have beautiful pups on the outside but the inside counts as well breeding ethically & and assuring every generation we produce is a great representation of the breed, assuring parents are a good match health wise and pairing personalities to make well balanced pups. I honor our puppies by giving them a voice.

Working with Meli was a truly positive experience. From the beginning, she was very transparent, knowledgeable, and you could clearly tell she cares deeply about the well-being of her pups. I truly appreciated how she would keep me updated with photos and progress reports, and made sure I was fully prepared to bring my pup home. I was so nervous when I was looking for a pup and a breeder, but i’m so grateful to have found such a responsible and passionate breeder! If we were to ever want another we definitely would come back to Enchantables and I would also recommend them to anyone else that’s feeling nervous about where to find their pup! We are so in love with our pup and couldn’t be more grateful about our experience !

Meli was incredible to work with! She checked up on us a few times to make sure the transition with our new puppy was going well. He has an amazing temperament- so calm and sweet! He was also potty trained from the time we took him home, we had hardly any accidents which was incredible. I can’t say enough great things about Meli and her puppies! 10/10 would recommend to any prospective Dachshund parents.
