    Just wanted to share our wonderful experience with Mark and Valentina. Mark contacted me right away once I inquired about our puppy. He stayed in contact with us the entire time and answered all of the questions we had. They sent pictures and video updates frequently as our puppy grew, even without having to ask. They allowed in home visits, which was nice even though we weren’t able to make it since we lived a couple hours away. When we went to pick our puppy up, they had her all clean and ready and supplied us with a puppy bag which had toys, dog food, puppy pads, a cute little doxie keychain, her litter blanket and all of her paperwork. You can tell how well they care for all of their dogs and puppies. We have been enjoying our sweet Georgia so much and would recommend them as breeders and would use them again in the future. Thanks Mark and Valentina!

    Mark and Valentina were incredibly helpful and communicative leading up to pick up day and continue to be super helpful with questions that I have as I learn to take care of my dog. They breed very beautiful and handsome dachshunds but more importantly instill positive habits early, giving you an invaluable head start on potty and crate training, as well as a more well mannered dog in general. They were wonderful to work with and clearly love and are proud of their dachshunds.

    Mark and Tina are wonderful! Very experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about the dachshund breed. We purchased a sweet little piebald miniature girl. She's adorable and in great health! This breeder is new to Good Dog, so don't let the lack of reviews turn you away. These folks are legit, friendly and AKC registered! Highly recommend!

    Mark & Valentina were a pleasure to work with. They were very responsive in our communications. They sent us regular updates with pics and videos of our girl. We also scheduled visits, so we could watch her grow. They worked with her on potty training too. We love our Penny very much! Thank you so much for your services, enabling me to bring home my dream dog! 🥰❤️

    Working with Mark and Valentina was straightforward from the beginning. Communication was easy, the first meeting was set up well, and our whole family felt welcome, kids included. We were sent home with full documentation: immunization records, pedigree, and vet history. The follow-up after Bella came home to check in was a nice touch we appreciated. Bella has been a perfect fit. She loves everyone she meets, has had zero accidents, and walks well on a leash. She jumped right into our active family like she had always been here. We would recommend Mark and Valentina without hesitation.
