Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding through a deep love for dogs, especially dachshunds and their unique personalities. What started with owning and caring for one quickly turned into a passion for learning more about the breed and raising healthy, well-socialized puppies.What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special is the level of care and attention each dog receives from day one.

+4We had an amazing experience working with Monica! From start to finish, her communication was fantastic. She was always quick to respond, answered all of our questions, and stayed in touch with us throughout the entire process, making sure we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. It was clear that she genuinely cares about her dogs and wants them to go to great homes. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. We couldn't be happier with our puppy and would highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a quality breeder. Thank you again for everything!
