    Michelle was so great to work with and informative. We love love our little Lola who is very energetic and healthy pup. Lola has been a really great addition to our family.

    Michelle was so responsive and answered my questions regarding process, which was very easy. She clearly cares about her puppies and making sure they go to good homes. Sent videos and pictures of my puppy after I chose him and started calling him by his chosen name before I came and got him. She followed up with me to see how every thing was going. A very good experience

    Michelle was amazing to work with! She was so responsive and shared so many pictures of our puppy in the weeks leading up to us bringing him home. She truly cares about dachshunds and loves the breed so much, she was a dream! I couldn’t recommend Michelle enough, our little Gus is absolutely perfect

    We reserved our puppy, Mabel, when she was ~10 days old and Michelle was so responsive over the next 7 weeks, giving us updates weekly with photos and videos! The potty training that Michelle had done with the pups helped immensely. Mabel is truly the sweetest pup, loving on anyone and everyone. Michelle truly cares about the pups and we will absolutely be reaching back out whenever we are looking for another puppy!! :)

    I am so glad I found Mighty But Mini Dachshunds. Michelle has been great from the start. Extremely responsive and really gave my Herbie the best start to his life. I was included and notified for every early milestone and she was able to answer any and all questions I had. Herbie is healthy and happy and I know a big part of that is due to Mighty But Mini Dachshunds.
