    Tiffany was great! She sent me pictures and videos of Phoebe. She made the process of picking up our puppy so easy. She is very knowledgeable about dachshunds! She was so helpful. We appreciate her so much! Phoebe is adapting very well. She sleeps all night long every night. Tiffany checked in about Phoebe after we had her a few days. That was so kind of her! Phoebe is happy and healthy. Thank you Tiffany!

    Tiffany and Tom were so great to work with. Both were knowledgeable and able to answer our questions as first time dog owners. They sent us home with so much helpful information, health records, food, and toys our puppy loves! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible breeder.
