Q. & A. with William

We focus on quality over quantity by raising healthy, well-socialized Miniature Dachshunds with excellent temperaments. Every puppy is raised in our home with plenty of love, early socialization, and a commitment to responsible breeding.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
