    Mishelle is a lovely woman and very caring breeder. It's obvious from the moment one meets her how much she loves her dogs and their puppies, and how she protects them and takes excellent care of them. She greeted the both of us with a hug of welcome, and showed us great kindness. She has a wonderful kennel set up for her dogs and puppies that shows her dedication to each and every animal. I cannot stress enough how wonderful and sweet Mishelle is, and what incredible care she gives to each and every puppy, as well as her adult dogs. I would suggest that anyone who is looking for a well bred and cared for Dachshund puppy work with Mishelle; she is both a responsible and caring breeder.

    Mishelle was great to work with. She responded quickly and was very genuine about getting to know me and my family. She was awesome and flexible about meeting up to pick up our puppy. She has also continued to be very communicative after we picked him up regarding checking in on him and sending paper work. I highly recommend her. She is great and we LOVE our new puppy, Baloo!

    Mishelle was a joy to work with and she made my little kid dreams come true. I’d always wanted a dog (dachshund specifically) and she raised the perfect little one for me. Throughout the process, she was very responsive and provided regular updates. It’s clear her main priority is making sure they’re all okay and healthy. It’s been a few weeks now and this lil man (Nelson) has become my new sidekick and is so awesomely smart. Thank you, Mishelle!!
