I'm Eva G., the breeder behind Tiny Tails Ranch located in Luttrell, TN. Our hope is to prepare each of our puppies with thoughtful socialization, so they have the best foundation to seamlessly transition into their new homes. Our puppies are handled daily and introduced to puppy food by 4 weeks of age. They are potty trained on washable pads, as we don't recommend any outdoor time until you've had your vet give the 3rd vaccine.

I could not be happier with my experience with Eva. She is truly an exceptional breeder who takes her role and responsibility very seriously. From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply she cares about her puppies and about making sure they go to loving, safe, and permanent homes.
Eva was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process and kept me updated almost daily with photos, weight updates, and detailed information about vet visits and development. Those updates meant so much and made me feel fully connected and confident every step of the way.
I will be forever grateful that Eva chose me. My baby girl, Stína, and I are completely in love, and it’s obvious she was raised with so much care, attention, and love. I cannot recommend Eva highly enough to anyone looking for a responsible, ethical, and truly dedicated breeder.

Working with Eva was a great experience! She was responsive, and kept us updated with videos and pictures until our Sandy was ready to come home. Sandy has such a sweet and loving and calm personality. Her confidence speaks volumes for how she was raised with love in Eva’s home.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found our adorable puppy with such a sweet temperament through Tiny Tails Ranch in Tennessee. Eva Gillespy, the breeder, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She responded quickly to all my questions and regularly sent photos and videos of our puppy, Ollie, so we could watch him grow even before bringing him home. It’s clear that Eva raises her puppies in a loving, caring environment, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience

Eva is the best. She has such a heart for the dachshund breed and it shows. While the pups are with her, she gives them full attention and updates you daily with videos & photos! Fully transparent! They are apart of their daily lives & treated so well. All of her dogs are. She gives them the best start and we couldn’t be happier with our boy! He’s been home for a few weeks now and has learned so much so quickly. He’s such a well manner pup. He’s confident and outgoing and I could go on and on. Thankful we found such a wonderful breeder. She’s been a part of every step, even after coming home. We love our Duncan.

Eva was very easy to work with and had good advice on every step of the process. She was quick to respond to my questions. Our sweet Poppy is obliviously a well bred, well cared for, and much loved little puppy. She has a calm and loving personality that reflects the great care and upbringing she received. Eva’s dogs are family members.

Eva was amazing to work with! She sent me videos and pictures of him almost everyday so when we picked him up I felt like I knew so much about his personality already. You can tell she really cares about these pups and makes sure they are going to responsible owners. If I’m ever looking for another I would definitely contact her again!
