    We are in love with our new puppy! Michael was the absolute best to work with, and he made the weeks leading up to getting our puppy so easy with constant updates and photos. We can’t wait to watch our pup grow, and we’re so thankful we found Lone River Dachshunds to bring home the newest member of our family. Can’t recommend them enough!

    Michael was amazing to work with!! He responded very fast and with all of the right answers. He is very knowledgeable about the breed and what it takes to make his puppies stand out from others. He helped us with getting our little Murphy and I am forever thankful for his help!!

    Michael took such good care of our baby before we got her. One thing we especially loved that he did was get her aquatinted with lots of sounds and textures. It has made her so easy to train. We like to think it also gave her some much needed desensitizing to things - she does great with just about everything and everyone. He also made sure to set us up for success upon bringing her home. He provided a blanket and toy that smelt like home, some of her food, and any info we needed to set her up for success. She is also litter box trained which has greatly helped with our busy schedules. We love our little Ritz so much!

    Michael is awesome!!! He answered every question I had and I had many from the very beginning, he was so patient and answered every question in a timely manner. I am so grateful to have found him and you can definitely see he puts so much time, love, and care into his pups. We’ve had Whiskey for 2 weeks now and we couldn’t be more in love with him! Whiskey is beautiful and has the best personality! He has adjusted so well and had no problem traveling 13 hours back home (Colorado to Arizona). Our first vet visit went extremely well and Whiskey is healthy and thriving! I 100% recommend Lone River Dachshunds and when ready I look forward to getting another dachshund from Michael in the future! Thank you so much Michael!
