Tomye was great from start to finish. Good Dogs recommended Jessi, now Penny, from my description of what i was looking for. I asked her to send a quick video, which she did promptly, and i was in love immediately. I traveled to Tomye’s to pick Penny up and was extremely impressed with the environment she grew up in and the professionalism. She really raises these little puppies in a loving environment, around kids, making them ready for their new homes.Penny is so social, love kids and anyone who she meets. When i asked Tomye how a smooth coat puppy could come from two longer haired parents she was quick to answer with the genealogy background, very knowledgeable. Penny is growing and sweet as can be, We love her so much.

I had such a wonderful experience with Tomye from Grayson’s Lovable Dachshunds! The entire process of getting my mini dachshund, Koda, was so smooth and easy. Tomye was incredibly helpful, responsive, and clearly cares deeply about her dogs. She answered all my questions and made me feel confident every step of the way. Koda is the sweetest pup, and I’m so in love with her already! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Working with Tomye was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She stayed in frequent contact and answered all our questions, no matter how small or detailed, which made the entire process smooth and stress free. Her knowledge of the dachshund breed assured us that we were getting a puppy of good health. Our puppy, Basso, has been a wonderful addition to our house - laid back, cuddly, and adjusting very quickly to life with us.

Excellent experience! Breeder was very helpful and communication was quick. She even agreed to meet us halfway for delivering our pup. All his paperwork was in order, he had a vet check prior to us receiving him. We are delighted with him. We've already asked the breeder for a second pup when she has a little red girl available. So yes, would go through this breeder again!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
