    Carolyn was super helpful and amazing through this process. She answered all my questions and shared many updates about my pup. It was very obvious she cares so much about all of the pups and our sweet boy wouldn’t be in our home without her.

    Very pleased with my experience! Carolyn was very responsive and would send me picture updates of the sweet girl before I finally got to pick her up. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dachshund.

  • Chanise F.

    Verified owner · July 2026

    Working with Carolyn was the best decision I could have made when looking for a puppy. She responded immediately and answered any questions I had. She made sure to reach out with any updates on our puppy and made me feel super involved even before meeting our girl. Even with the meet up when it was time to take her home, Carolyn took the time to give me a brief explanation of everything, gave us a welcome bag of goodies for the puppy and offered assistance anytime, even after we got our puppy. She was absolutely great!
