    We just had to share how absolutely wonderful our experience with Slinky's Dachshunds was, all thanks to Samantha! As first-time online pet buyers, we were pretty nervous, but Samantha made everything so easy. She was a true pleasure to work with, sending us lots of photos and videos of Basil (now Benji!) and patiently answering every single question we had. The entire process was completely seamless, which we credit to Samantha being such an incredible breeder. From day one, she was incredibly organized, providing all of Benji's paperwork, updated health records, and even a sweet goody bag packed with essentials. What truly sets her apart is her dedication: she checks in with us regularly and is always available, literally 24/7, whenever we have questions or concerns. Thank you so much, Samantha, for bringing Benji into our lives and filling our hearts with so much joy! We couldn't be happier.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Samantha and Brian from Slinky’s Dachshunds and couldn’t be happier with our new puppy. From the very beginning, they were very professional, knowledgeable and truly dedicated to raising healthy, well-socialized puppies. Communication was excellent-they answered all my questions, sent regular updates, and provided pictures and videos so we could watch our puppy grow. It was clear they care deeply about their dogs and put a lot of effort into early socialization, proper nutrition and a clean safe environment. When it was time to bring my puppy home, the transition was smooth. They provided health records, feeding instructions, and helpful tips to ensure my puppy settled in comfortably. Our puppy is happy, healthy and has a wonderful temperament- proof of the breeders high standards and ethical practices. I highly recommend this breeder/Slinky’s Dachshunds to anyone looking for a well-bred, well-cared for puppy. It’s obvious they love what they do, and it truly shows in the quality of the puppy we received.

    I recently had the pleasure of adopting a dachshund from Brian and Samantha at Slinky’s Dachshunds, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the moment I reached out, Samantha was incredibly responsive and eager to answer all my questions about their puppies. Their passion for dachshunds is evident in every conversation, and it was evident that Brian and Samantha put their heart and soul into raising their dachshunds. Our sweet little girl is playful and friendly and clearly has been raised in a nurturing environment. She is Perfect! The transition process was seamless. Brian and Samantha provided me with all the necessary paperwork, including health records and vaccination information, and even sent me home with a starter kit of food and toys. Their commitment didn’t end with the sale; they have followed up to see how things are going and are always available for follow-up questions and support. Overall, my experience with Slinky’s Dachshunds was exceptional. Brian and Samantha are responsible breeders who truly care about their dogs and their new families. If you’re looking to add a miniature dachshund to your home, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to them! You won’t be disappointed.
