Vickie was very responsive and met me at the AUS airport which was so helpful as I had a connecting flight there. She kept in contact with me when I had any questions / check-ins even after picking Pickle up! Pickle is the light to my whole world and so happy to have gotten him. He is full of spunk, personality, silly and super playful but also a major napper haha. He is now 8 months old (I picked him up end of December) and he's about 12-13lbs but in great composition and build. I 10/10 recommend Vicky and The Dachshund Den!

Vickie made the entire process of getting our new pup seamless from start to finish. Tank has been better than we could have ever imagined. He loves his big brother and has a great temperament/personality. After a lot of research into dachsund breeders and the experience I had, I would recommend The Dachshund Den to anyone looking.
