+6We had a great experience working with Joel! He was very responsive throughout the entire process and was happy to answer all of our questions. He kept us updated leading up to pickup and was transparent with us about everything regarding our puppy. Frank has been such a sweet, loving little guy and has already settled in so well with our family. We’re so happy we found him and would definitely recommend Joel to anyone looking for a dachshund!

My wife had to our family first dog down a year ago. We looked but could never find “that” dog. Found one first little guy and gave him a big guy name. Meet George, Joel and company were Amazing start to finish.
