Q. & A. with Angela
Why did you start breeding?
My grandmother bred and showed Yorkies most of my life and I knew at a young age I wanted to be involved with breeding later in life. When time allowed it I decided to go back to my first love dachshunds. We started out with 2 females and 1 male and have grown from there.

Angela was incredible from the start. From communication, to flexibility, pickup, and information on the dog breed, she was knowledgeable and responsive. Angela provided a crate, toys, and all the necessary forms, and was able to meet us halfway. I cannot imagine my life without my little Archie and would work with Angela again in a heartbeat!

Angela was quick to respond to my inquiry about her dogs and questions that I had. Once I decided to get a puppy from her, she was great about sending pictures and videos and keeping me constantly updated on my pup.

We had a great experience with Angela and Mini Love Bugs! She was extremely communicative and knowledgeable through the whole process. We received pictures, videos and updates on our puppy the entire time we waited for him to be ready to come home. It’s clear Angela and her family care a lot about all their dogs and puppies. We live in South Caroline so Mini Love Bugs was a bit far for us, Angela was happy to meet us half way!
Gus is now 4 months old and is happy, healthy and of course adorable!

Archie is truly the best friend I didn’t know I needed! Angela was wonderful to work with, she answered all of my questions as a first-time dog owner and kept me updated every other day with how Archie was doing. On the day of pickup, she went above and beyond by accommodating me and sending Archie home with plenty of toys, paperwork, hygiene products, and everything else I could possibly need to make the transition easier. I’ve already referred her to everyone who stops me to ask about Archie, and I’ll continue to do so. I can’t say enough good things about my experience!

Angela was Wonderful. She keep me up to date with pictures of my Missy and let me know how she was doing. I got pictures and messages twice a week . Angela was very kind and quickly answered any questions I had asked her. I would recommend anyone to use this breeder. My Missy is very healthy and very smart. Angela went above and beyond when seeding her home with me. I received toys, collar with bell , feeding bowl, one of those stuffed puppies with heart beat, wipes , crate and cleaner for crate. I'm sure there is something I missed. I just want to say how pleased I am with her and want to Thank Her from the bottom of my heart. She truly loved her puppies ❤️ and wants their new owners to have a wonderful experience. I told her I would keep in touch and give her updates on Missy. She made me feel like family ❤️.
