Heather was great to work with from start to finish. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and clearly knows and cares a lot about her dogs. The whole process felt smooth and straightforward. Our boy Archie is the best, we couldn’t be happier.

Heather was so responsive and very helpful during the process! I’ve never flown with a pet before, but she was super encouraging and helpful, she sets you up with everything you need to bring your little one home! Even up until I picked up my pup, she answered all of my questions! My little one has been a joy to my family, he’s such a ball of energy!

Heather was incredible to work with. Answered all of my questions up until we picked up our sweet pup, and even after if I needed it. I will always recommend her when anyone is looking around for a dachshund. Our sweet girl, Roo has absolutely changed our lives! She is so fun and spunky and in the future when we get her a sibling, I would love to go through Heather and Great Basin Hounds again.
