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.

Lyric is the sweetest of the sweet. She is a gentle soul with a loving disposition. Having been exposed to AKC dog shows, where she received her Championship, she's never met a stranger. Lyric (and Kingston) are conformationally correct and meet the Dachshund Club of America breed standard. No one will go wrong owning one of these beautiful puppies.

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 was very responsive and sent updates nearly everyday. Millie is well tempered and calm. Will definitely come back for future dachshunds (can never truly just have one😅).

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!
