Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed while working in a veterinary clinic and meeting a long hair dachshund a shelter brought in to be spayed. I soon adopted her. I eventually got her a playmate. So many people fell in love with them, that I decided my next dachshunds, I wanted to breed so others could have and experience the unique personalities!

We absolutely love our dogs. They are our family. I always consider what is best for my dachshunds and kids. My daughters share the passion. While we homeschool, our babies are with us. They sleep with us. The puppies are raised in our bedrooms. Everyone is fully vetted. I offer a health guarantee and a puppy kit with every puppy.

Nicole was absolutely amazing! She answered all my questions and was so patient during my 4 month journey of finding a puppy that I will be able to get during a free spot in my schedule! Darcy is amazing and came potty pad trained, so basically a genius :) I would recommend her to everyone. She really cares about these pups and finding them the best homes possible.

Nicole was very helpful and answered all my questions while I was looking for the right puppy. Our boy is so friendly and has been the perfect addition to help our shy dog out of her shell. Pickup was so easy and she had all the paperwork I need to fly with him ready for me. Highly recommend!!

Nicole was very responsive and so helpful with answering all questions I had prior to purchasing my Romeo. Romeo came puppy pad trained which was so amazing considering he was only 9 weeks! Highly recommend Nicole and her pups!

We couldn’t be more grateful for Nicole and her professionalism. From the very beginning, she has been kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about what she does. Our little Brooklyn is the sweetest, most well-adjusted puppy, it’s obvious he was raised with care. He came to us happy, healthy, and already full of confidence. We feel so lucky to have found Nicole, and we couldn’t be happier with our new family member!

Nicole has been nothing but wonderful! She is quick to reply, kind, helpful, and accommodating. We have had a quick & communicative experience getting our puppy home to us! You can tell she truly cares about the puppies & what she does. We now have our very first dog - Rhubarb “Ruby”…and we couldn’t love her more!💗
