    Lois and Tom were awesome! My wife, daughter, and I are first time dog owners and they kept us updated with information and advice. Our little Rigatoni is a happy healthy pup full of energy and intelligence. Our family couldn’t be happier or more complete. Thank you Lois and Tom!

    My fiancé and I were ready to start our small family with a mini dachshund. As a vet tech, I wanted to research each breeder thoroughly and make sure I was going to receive a healthy pup. I found TLC Dachshunds through Good Dog and I’m glad I did!! They responded to each question I had and sent me updates on my pup each week. I could tell by the pictures/videos alone that they were dedicated and caring breeders that kept all their dogs in healthy condition. When I met Laszlo my heart melted and we connected instantly. He’s a smart and sweet pup that was well socialized and is very friendly with people. I couldn’t be any happier with my pup! Recommending Lois and Tom to everyone!!🥰

    Working with Lois and Tom was super easy. They provided great communication from day one, and they were quick to answer all of my questions. I had to reschedule our meet-and-greet / potential adoption date at the last minute, and they were very understanding and willing to work with me to reschedule. I was very happy with the level of detail they provided, and upon meeting the dog (Sammie), I found to be very accurate. At the meet-and-greet, they gave Sammie and I some time to get to know each other, we discussed transitioning to her into her new home, and made sure I was comfortable with adopting her. Overall, I was very happy working with them and would do so again in the future.

    Lois and Tom are exceptional, kind, informative and loving breeders. I can tell how much love they show for their dachshunds. Since Day 1 they kept me informed of Dunkel's progression through written and photographic communications. They are very helpful and willing to give advise on feeding, social interactions and vet visits for Dunkel. The day I picked up Dunkel, they provide a bag of goodies for Dunkel. In the bag was a blanket that had Dunkel's siblings and mommie's scent . That helped Dunkel's transition to his new home. Dunkel is handsome, intelligent, and easy to handle. He integrated well with the other fur babies in our family . I can't say enough about Lois and Tom Conner and TLC Dachshunds. Thank you for your hard work and love for you Dachshund family.

    Lois and Tom were amazing from start to finish. Weekly photo shoots of our pup was the highlight of our week. They were very responsive and helpful with any questions I had. Was also very flexible when it came to pick up and set up a meeting point to travel less. Her go bag was packed with a bunch of incredibly helpful info and things like food and a few toys. Since having Princess at home with us she’s adjusted well and is very playful with our older dog. Highly recommend getting your new fur family member from them.
