Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?

What began as a personal passion quickly grew into a commitment to responsible breeding, proper health testing, and helping families find a happy, well-adjusted companion.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is built on quality, transparency, and genuine care for every dog we raise. We focus on health-testing, well-tempered parents, ensuring each litter starts with strong genetics and sound structure. Our puppies are raised in a loving, hands-on environment where they're socialized early with sounds, sights and routines. They're also socialized with our children as well.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Dachshund puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our Dachshund puppies include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Carol M.
Verified owner · Dec. 2025
It was a pleasure to work with Laura to get our sweet girl, Bindi. She was always available to help and made the process really easy when it came to pick her up as we live out of state. Her love for her puppies is palpable and shows just how much she cares for them, as well as her husband.
