Q. & A. with Carissa

  • What makes your program special?

    Small program that does not use females to breed for a few years and then sells them when they are no longer able to breed. We love and handle our puppies inside our home. The puppies aren't allowed outside until they are old enough for flea and tick preventative.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Carissa was wonderful. Answered all my questions and concerns prior to the puppy hand off. I flew into Kentucky and we met at the airport. Everything went smooth and I have zero complaints. As for my new little monster… he is perfect in every way. I am so glad Carissa agreed to let me get him. I highly recommend Wonderful Weiners!

    Adding a second dachshund to our home was such a great decision. We had a very easy time coordinating a pickup even though I had quite a long drive, it went smoothly. Our new puppy has been so wonderful with our current dog and both my kids. She is well socialized and it is clear a lot of care went into the first couple of months of her life. The packet that came home with her was very informative and thoughtful. Overall very caring people taking care of these puppies before they find their forever homes.

    Little Gus is doing great! (We changed his name). He goes back to vet this week for a shot. He is growing like a weed. He is the sweetest thing and everyone loves him💙🐶
