Q. & A. with Grace

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When we met in 1997 I was a career flight attendant, I raised my family and I was enjoying flying the country to visit my children and loved ones wherever they were. Sadly, by the end of that year I became ill and I was no longer able to fly, my dream job was gone. My husband decided to find a companion for me who would give me a reason to get up everyday. It worked, 27 Doxies and 26 years later
  • What makes your program special?

    We genuinely don't know how we fell into breeding Isabella colored Dachies but we average one per litter, they are the rariest of all colors in the breed. We also have lovely tri color in addition to the others. Our dogs are a 15 year commitment, finding the right family or companion for each one is of the upmost importance.

    Adopting our baby Jodie from Grace was a great experience. I got to meet all the siblings and other dachshunds in the house which was nice to get a sense of how our pup would grow up. She has the sweetest personality, loves to play, rarely barks, and we got her potty trained fairly quickly! She also loves our big German shepherd to death and always wants to be near him.

    I had the pleasure of adopting my sweet dachshund, Molly, from Grace and Tim. They were incredibly friendly, caring, and professional. The entire process was smooth, and they provided me with a fantastic starter pack for Molly, which included potty pads, treats, toys, a cozy blanket, and an informative book on dachshunds—everything I needed to welcome her home. Their dedication to their puppies' well-being was evident in how they cared for Molly and shared her early milestones with me. They even took the time to check in after the adoption, showing their genuine commitment to finding good homes. I highly recommend Grace and Tim to anyone looking to adopt—they are truly wonderful breeders who made this a joyful experience. Thank you, Grace and Tim, for bringing Molly into our lives!

    Grace was wonderful to work with! She definitely cares about each and every one of her puppies and finding them the perfect homes. She was attentive, responsive, and accommodating and made the process enjoyable. We all feel like a family! The puppy we got from Grace is healthy, socialized, and potty pad trained! They sent us home with food, a blanket with the mommy's and siblings scents on it, and lots of other goodies like teething toys. I highly recommend working with Grace!
