Sandra was absolutely amazing to work with! We love our mini daschund Sofia so very much. She recently turned one but we feel she has always been a part of the family. We lost our mini dachshund of 14 years and carried on with a broken heart until we met Sofia. While we will always miss the pets that we that are no longer with us, a new puppy brings all the warmth and excitement to help us heal. I 100% recommend working with Sandra. She’s a great communicator, her prices are fair and most of all her puppies have such good temperaments!
