Verified owner · Jan. 2024
I had an exceptional experience working with Christina to bring home my first wirehaired dachshund. From the start, her communication was excellent, and she played a crucial role in helping me choose the perfect puppy for my home. Christina's knowledge about the breed was evident as she provided valuable information, making the transition to owning a wirehaired dachshund seamless. Not only did she offer insights into their characteristics, but she also went the extra mile by recommending a skilled groomer for my new pup. I'm grateful for Christina's expertise and support throughout this exciting journey, and I highly recommend her for anyone considering adding a furry friend to their family.
