I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Chelsea! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and patient, answering every single question I had (and I had a lot!). She made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process of bringing my mini dachshund home.
My puppy is absolutely wonderful—healthy, happy, and with the sweetest temperament. It’s clear he was raised with love and care. What really stood out to me, though, was how supportive Chelsea continued to be even after I brought my puppy home. When something unexpected came up at the vet, she immediately reimbursed me without hesitation. That kind of integrity and care is rare and speaks volumes about her dedication, not only to her dogs but also to the families who adopt them.
If you’re considering a dachshund, I wholeheartedly recommend this breeder. The whole experience exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for the beautiful new addition to our family

Chelsea was always responsive in a timely manner and can tell she really cares about her pups. Very knowledgeable and even kept checking in on my pup after I picked him up
