+5Kirsta was amazing with providing pictures of my new puppy coco, and was very fast with response time. I was set up with lots of goodies for coco during her first days at home, and the overall process was amazing! I’d do it all over again!
Kerri M.
Verified owner · May 2026
Kirsta is great to deal with. Answers all questions quickly, very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend KDK Kennels. Our Tillie (was Hilda) has quickly adjusted to our home. She is a great puppy and you can tell she was raised with love & attention.
Amy W.
Verified owner · Feb. 2026
Kirsta made the entire process easy. She answered all my questions with patience and was knowledgable on the breed. She was quick to send me videos of Andy (now Indy) when I asked. She helped me set up transportation and made sure to send a care package to make Indy's transition went easier. Highly recommend. Indy has quickly became a loved family member and is a sweet, yet slightly stubborn, boy. We can't imagine life without him!

+4I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with KDKs Kennels. From start to finish Krista was kind, knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions I had. It was obvious how much love and care they put in there puppies. My mini dachshund puppy Spencer (now name Dunker!), came home healthy, happy and well socialized which was a huge plus. My transition has been smooth so far since the care given by Krista. Upon arrival she made sure I had all the information needed for transfer. I highly recommend KDKs Kennels if you’re looking for a mini dachshund.

+8I just received the cutest, sweetest little girl! A dapple, long haired, miniature dachshund. Krista was wonderful to work with. She FaceTimed me when I first made the purchase to let me know I wasn’t being scammed, as I was on Facebook just the week before. She answered questions on many different occasions and sent pictures each time I asked. The puppy has such a sweet disposition, so I know she came from a loving home. Krista has her mother and father and was glad to send me pictures of them as well. Krista also sent food, treats, a bed and more toys than I can count for my new baby. The lady she has deliver her puppies, Nicole, was wonderful as well. She FaceTimed me and sent pictures and video along the way, and let me know where she was the whole time. My puppy was held and loved on the whole time, never put in a cage or left alone. I highly recommend KDK’s Kennels and Krista for anyone looking for a positive experience in buying a puppy. I couldn’t be happier and I would definitely buy from her again!

Verified owner · Jan. 2026
+6First and foremost, Krista responded instantly when I inquired about Serenity, now named Sadie. She’s extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help with any questions I had. You can truly tell she takes amazing care of her pups Sadie had zero issues her first night. She slept with no crying, is already crate trained, and even knows how to use the pee pad. I’m beyond impressed and very satisfied. Money well spent. Thank you so much! I’m hoping you’ll have another Dachshund next year because I would love for Sadie to have a little companion. She is such a sweet girl. I had to take her to my doctor’s appointment and all the nurses loved her truly a star.
