    We recently adopted our sweet puppy Oggi from Dana (breeder), and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Dana was incredibly patient, helpful, and friendly throughout the process. She was always respectful, open to answering questions, and even flexible enough to meet us halfway for pickup, which we truly appreciated. From the moment we brought Oggi home, it was clear he came from a loving and responsible environment. He’s healthy, clean, and already had such good manners—something we credit to the breeder’s outstanding early training. You can tell a lot of care and attention went into preparing him for his new home. Oggi has been a perfect fit for our family. He’s incredibly sweet and gets along beautifully with our older dog and even our cats. He loves going on walks, enjoys being around people; especially kids and has such a calm, friendly nature. He is truly everything we were looking for in a dog and more. The app was very easy to navigate, and it made the process of connecting with the breeder and completing the adoption smooth and stress-free. We feel so lucky to have found such a dedicated breeder and to have Oggi as part of our family. Thank you for everything!

    I was looking for a very tiny mini dachshund & I spoke with Dana from schmooterbabies several times before deciding on my beautiful little boy. I almost adopted one from all the way across the country & found schmooterbabies just in time. They were only about 30 minutes away from me so it was convenient as well. I didn't have to wait long because by the time I found him he was almost 8 weeks old. We set up a day to meet & I picked up my little boy & immediately fell in love. He was even more beautiful than his photos & his personality is sweet & affectionate. He learned very quickly & is a good boy "most" of the time ;). He gets more & more beautiful & I love him more & more everyday! My grandson had already picked his name out before we even met him (Hawkeye) & he even had a Mohawk like Hawkeye & a cowlick on the back of his neck in the shape of an arrow like the super hero he's named after. We couldn't get a more perfect puppy! Thank you Dana for my sweet boy! If I "need" another baby to add to my "collection" I know just who to call!
