+5If you're looking for a breeder who truly cares about their puppies and the families they go to, look no further! From the very first conversation, Ramona was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and answered every single question I had — no matter how big or small. When I brought my Hemingway home, I was blown away by how well-prepared they had him. He was already well on his way with potty training, which made the transition so much smoother for both of us. They also sent him home with the most thoughtful care package — a month's worth of food, toys, all of his documentation, and helpful pamphlets to get us started on the right foot. What really sets them apart though? It's been two months and they are STILL just as responsive and helpful as they were on day one. Any concern that pops up, she's right there to help. That kind of continued support and dedication is rare and means the world to a new pet parent. Hemingway is thriving and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for raising such a wonderful pup and for caring so deeply about where he ended up. 🐾

Ramona and Guillermo were fantastic to work with! We got updated pictures every week and Ramona was willing to answer any questions we had leading up to pick up day. They also prepared us with lots of stuff to take our puppy home. Even after pick up day, she has been responsive to any questions we have had! They are great!

Ramona and Guillermo were so helpful throughout the process of getting my little one Bruno. Constantly providing updates, pictures and even helpful tips/information for when we got to take Bruno home! I would recommend and definitely will get another puppy from them once Bruno is a little older so he has a companion!

I recently had an amazing experience with this dog breeder. They were incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and transparent throughout the entire process. The puppies were healthy, well-socialized, and came from a clean and loving environment. The breeder was always available to answer my questions and provided great guidance on how to care for my new furry friend. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy dog breeder!

+7Ramona and Guillermo were incredible throughout the entire adoption process. Weekly pictures and updates were greatly appreciated before we took Schnitzel into our home. He was a late Christmas surprise present for my partner who had been begging to get a dog. She couldn't have been happier when Ramona and Guillermo showed up New Years Day with our little wiener! They provided a bag of food, toys, his vet records, he came chipped and groomed, and he already knew where to go potty! Since he was a surprise we hadn't purchased anything we needed for a puppy, but RGZ gave us all the necessities we needed to get started. Incredible experience from start to finish with Ramona and Guillermo. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to get a Dachshund. Even post pick up Ramona has helped us by answering our questions and being fast to respond. 11/10 experience! Thanks a million! We love our Schnitty.

Ramona and Guillermo made our puppy purchase experience a breeze! They were quick to respond with any questions we had and the weekly puppy updates made us feel like we were watching our beautiful girl grow up even though she wasn’t with us yet. We received a healthy and very calm and precious little puppy. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase their fur babies.
