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 really enjoyed working with Kirsta. My time I spent working with her was only 3-4 days, but she made it so easy for me. She returned messages quickly and answered all of my questions about Mazy. She was not only knowledgeable, but also down to earth, making it easy and enjoyable to work with. My dog Mazy is a chocolate and tan, smooth coat miniature dachshund. She is the sweetest little dog. Kirsta taught Mazy how to use potty training pads, and she even separated her pups to sleep separately from one another to help them with a smoother transition into a new owner's home. Both of these things made it super easy to bring Mazy home. Mazy doesn't cry at night which is so helpful for the dog and me as a new owner. My puppy pick-up day was smooth, and I was so in awe over how beautifully bred my puppy is. Kirsta's puppies are gorgeous, healthy, quality bred dogs. It is wonderful that her dogs come vet checked and rice chipped. I am loving the started doggie/goodie bag that Kirsta put together for me. It is super helpful to have the started items I got in that bag such as nail trimmers, treats, toys, and some starter food. I am so lucky I found Kirsta on Gooddog.com and decided to buy from her. Gooddog.com made the sale really easy to navigate their site to find the exact puppy you are looking for and also make the transaction process easy to follow.

Kirsta was so incredible helpful and responsive! She answered any and all questions I had, and clearly cares deeply about her pups. Our little boy is adorable and has been so very pleasant to have around! Also, picking up our pup was very smooth and well communicated. I can’t recommend Kirsta enough!
Sade S.
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.

Kirsta was always quick to answer questions even after Rukus came home. Rukus has been a very secure puppy who has already demonstrated the typical behavior of the breed. He remains unaffected but mindful of dogs who are not as well adjusted as he is. He has made friends with the neighbor and the mailman. He is a healthy and happy boy. We are enjoying his "drama king" attitude when told "no". I would recommend working with Kirsta and if we ever decide to get a second rottie (we will) we will work with her again.

Kirsta was great to work with from start to finish. Communicative throughout the process to acquire our pup - helping to coordinate a meetup location and easy handoff. Our new pup is doing really well at our house and the family couldn’t be happier. Would definitely get another dog for Kirsta/KDK. Thanks again!
