Tessa was a pleasure to work with. I made a mistake (reserved the wrong dog!) and she fixed it on her end quickly. She seems to care about her dogs and I could not be happier with my little black and tan boy!

Tessa & Dustin were very communicative during the whole process. They definitely care and love what they do. We love our little Zoey already. She is a handful and keeps us on our toes but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Definitely recommend these two.

Tessa was great sending us pictures of our boy Bear. Kept us updated on how he was doing, Tessa and Dustin are fabulous at raising such beautifully, good puppies. They reassured us they were legit Breeders. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Mini Dachshund.
