I'm Joel G., the breeder behind Palmetto Moon Kennel located in Fountain Inn, SC. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours. We hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs. Owning a Dachshund is a beautiful experience, and it would be our honor to connect you with the perfect new addition to your family.
