Joseph helped us out in a manner we felt very comfortable. At ease. He is very knowledgeable about the breed. He kept us informed about Happy and shared dozens of videos and photos of her.
Happy is so adorable, she smart, playful and sweat. Lucky to have her.
Joseph is a breeder you can absolutely trust.
Good Dog also made the process so easy from initial contact to Joseph, payment and pick up. I would definitely recommend Joseph’s Dachshunds.

Thank you, Joey! The other reviewers are right. It’s obvious that you put a LOT of care into breeding and caring for your dogs and puppies.
In short, I wasn’t sure about buying a puppy online. I found Sophie (aka Godiva). The pictures really caught her personality incredibly well. My husband was equally taken, and said, if we don’t decide now, she probably won’t be available tomorrow which I believe is absolutely true.
We had to delay picking up puppy by a week. The midway point that Joey arranged was easy to get to. He explained the paperwork, and it was easy to understand with a checklist of things to do.
I am not biased, of course (lol), but Sophie is the perfect puppy, well socialized, smart, just beautiful, and learns quickly. She is not yet pee pad trained, but she learns what not to do quickly, e.g. chew on cords or shoes by a simple “uh!” and she remembers!
She appears very healthy and has spurts of playful energy and times when she is mellow or just sleepy.
We are so happy and are sure we made the right choice. I would recommend Joey to anyone who is looking for a healthy, socialized and beautiful puppy. Thank you, Joey. We are so happy!

Working with Joseph was smooth, easy, and enjoyable. I was able to ask questions about my puppy without hesitation, visit my puppy and his living conditions, and meet my puppy’s parents. I was consistently updated with photos of my growing puppy before it was time to pick him up and Joseph provided details so that I knew exactly what I should have to be ready to bring my puppy home. It was evident that Joseph cares about the health and wellbeing of the pups and prioritizes finding them all happy homes. My puppy, Winston, is a wonderful addition and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish!
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.
