We had a wonderful experience working with Robin in finding our first puppy. From the very beginning, Robin was warm, knowledgeable, and communicative—always quick to answer our questions and provide updates. It was clear that she truly cares about the well-being of her puppies and goes the extra mile to ensure they’re healthy, happy, and well-socialized.
Our new puppy is an absolute joy—playful, affectionate, and already well-adjusted, which is a testament to the loving environment he came from. We’re so grateful to Robin for making this such a smooth and positive process. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring breeder!

We found The Love of Dachshunds through Good Dog and immediately fell in love with one of the puppies. I messaged Robin and she was quick to respond, you can tell she knows what she is doing and cares about where her puppies go. We were able to get our sweet girl from Robin and we couldn’t be more grateful to her. Our sweet girl Suki has been able to adjust quickly to our routine and her personality surely is showing. She is loving and energetic. We can tell that she was loved and cared for. We are incredibly grateful for Robin and once again are so happy with Suki! We couldn’t thank you enough Robin for giving us this good girl. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Review for Penny, Our New Puppy**
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Robin for the incredible job you’ve done with our new puppy, Penny. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she was already loved and well-cared for. We could not ask for a better dog!
Penny is absolutely adorable and is quickly showing her unique personality, which we are absolutely loving. Her training is going exceptionally well—she's doing great with potty training, either going outside on the grass or using her diapers indoors when needed. It’s been a seamless transition!
One of the most amazing aspects of Penny is how quickly she has adapted to our household routines, including our sleeping schedule. This has made the adjustment a breeze and has allowed us to enjoy every moment together.
Penny loves to play in the yard, chase after my kid, and has even taken to watching the sunset at the beach with us. It’s heartwarming to see how much joy she brings to our family and how well she fits into our lives.
Overall, we are so incredibly happy with Penny. Thank you once again, Robin, for introducing us to this wonderful puppy! We couldn’t be more grateful!
Rigo.
