I'm Melissa K., the breeder behind Kissinger Dachshunds located in Laurel, MS. We fell in love with the personality and temperament of our dogs right from the start. Once you’ve owned a Dachshund, you’ll never again want to be without one! We raise our dogs in our home right alongside our family. We love being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.

We had an amazing experience with Melissa from Kissinger Dachshunds. She was responsive throughout the whole process, sending pictures of our puppy and giving updates. We are Absolutely in love with our new fur baby !!! She is the cutest pup and the best addition to our family. We had to get a travel nanny to fly her to us in Florida and Melissa was very helpful in the process, meeting the nanny at the airport to see that she got off safely to us. Could not recommend them enough !!! Thanks Melissa
