I absolutely had the best experience working with Melissa. She updated me frequently, as soon as I would write her a message. She knew how excited I was to get my new puppy advantage to rearrange her schedule to get her to me as soon as possible. She sent me home with the best ever! I was very grateful to do Such an easy and pleasant transaction purchasing my new puppy. With all the scammers out there, it felt like such a relief to deal with professionals! I appreciate her, trusting me just as much as I trusted her through the process. My puppy smell like baby powder had a beautiful collar when I picked her up. I can tell she had well taken care of. Definitely, I know, and the Good Dog app. Looking forward to getting a Puppy Through the Good Dog app.

Getting our Liam through Sandachs Miniature Dachshunds was a great experience. She was very communicative and provided us with all the information we needed. The puppy is as healthy as possible, and we couldn't be happier! We were given and up to date vet record and a goody bag. This was our first time buying a puppy and we couldn't have found a better person to help us.

The whole experience I had with Sandach's Miniature Dachshunds went above and beyond of what I could ever dream. Melissa had a quick respond time to answer any questions I had. She sent many pictures and a couple of videos of my Hudson. He is healthy and well loved. Melissa is NOT a puppy mill. She cares for every last puppy and parent. I also asked for a small blanket of mothers scent and Melissa delivered; no questions asked. She treats every last one of her clients with respect `and bends over backwards to help you. My Hudson is my pride and joy and that's all because of Melissa and how she cares for both the puppy and new owner, Thanks to Melissa I have a new best friend.

Melissa was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She listened and was always very responsive, we didn’t feel any pressure to choose a pup right away. After our initial inquiry about one available pup, we ended up waiting a little bit for just the right litter. We wanted a female, long hair and English cream was one of our top coat choices. Everything just came together perfectly and we got exactly what we were looking for. We love our little girl Zoey. Melissa has still been available for any questions we may have since bringing our little girl home. Overall great experience.
