Erin really blessed my life when she accepted my application. I was devastated when I had to put my baby girl down a month ago. I've always had a dog and this is the first time I've ever bought from a breeder. The process went smoothly and now I have my baby boy, Leo. He is such a sweet and loving dog. Loves to cuddle and sleeps with me every night, pretty much goes with me everywhere.

From the moment we first reached out to Erin, we knew we were in great hands. She was such a sweetheart, incredibly patient, and never made us feel rushed— despite the million questions we had about her breeding program and the process of bringing a dachshund into our lives. Erin answered everything thoughtfully, giving us the confidence we needed as new dog owners.
Beyond just her warm personality, Erin’s dedication to ethically breeding healthy, well-adjusted dachshunds is exceptional. The puppy we brought home from her is not only in perfect health but also has the most wonderful, docile temperament. He’s been a dream to train, great with everyone he meets, and his calm demeanor is exactly what we hoped for. We can’t express how grateful we are to have found such an outstanding breeder in Erin. She truly loves what she does, and it shows in every little detail—from her care of the pups to her attentiveness throughout the entire process.
If you're looking for a responsible, kind-hearted breeder who will go above and beyond, I can’t recommend Erin enough. She's a gem, and we are forever thankful for the joy she's brought into our home.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
