I found my pup through Good Dog, which made it easy to research and connect with reputable breeders. That’s how I discovered Mis Doxie—and the moment I saw my pup’s profile and picture, I knew she was the one.
Melissa was incredibly responsive and helpful, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. After placing a deposit, I received regular updates, pictures, and videos showing my girl’s growth and development. When it was time for pickup, the breeder was flexible in arranging a convenient meeting spot and personally delivered my puppy, Luna.
Luna has adjusted beautifully to her new home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would absolutely work with Mis Doxie again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, well-cared-for dachshund.
