    Melissa was amazing from the start to the end of getting our sweet girl! She was very responsive and even let us pick up our girl a few weeks later than the due date on the website! Melissa was so sweet and gave us lots of updates on our girl before picking her up! The whole process was seamless ! Highly recommend Melissa and Enchanted little dachshunds!

    Meli was so amazing to work with! She made the process easy and cares so much for her puppies. Loved all the updates she sent along the way! Our little Charlotte is such a blessing and we love her so much! She’s the most beautiful little girl we could ask for. Thank you so much🤍

    We had a terrific experience with Meli. It really couldn't have gone any better. She was super knowledgeable about mini dachshunds, Carl (our dog) and his personality and helped prepare us for bringing him home. She was also very good about following up with us to make sure we were confident puppy owners and was always available for questions. She is very timely in her communications both before and after bringing Carl home. If we ever want to get another mini doxie, the first person I would reach out to would be Meli. Thanks Meli!

    EXCELLENT!! Working with Meil was an absolute pleasure. She is profesional, kind and her love and care for the puppies really shines. Meli sent weekly pictures of our sweet little girl so that we could watch all of her progress which was adorable. Finally, we were able to bring our little munchkin home and she is happy and as healthy as can be. Very intelligent, curious and active. Meli is the ONLY breeder I would personally recommend for a mini dachshund. Stunning puppies! Thank you Meli.

    I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Meli. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly helpful, attentive, and genuinely caring. She took the time to answer all of my questions, provided regular updates, and made sure I felt completely comfortable and prepared to bring my baby home. It’s clear how much love and dedication she puts into raising them. “Taquito” is absolutely incredible, so sweet, affectionate, and well-socialized. You can truly see the care and effort that went into those early weeks. Bringing him home has been such a joyful experience, and I’m beyond grateful for such a positive and supportive journey. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a wonderful fur baby, but a wonderful experience.

    Meli was a dream to work with as a new dog parent getting their first pup. She worked with us on everything, answered all my silly questions and just overall was confident and very knowledgeable. I’ve had my Judy girl for 4 months now and she’s the absolute light of my husband and I’s lives. We wouldn’t trade her for anything!
