I'm the breeder behind Crystal’s Miniature Dachshunds located in San Antonio, TX. Our dogs health is most important to us. We make sure puppies meet all important milestones before going to their new homes. We look for families that will be the perfect match for them.
About Crystal
I am a small time breeder for the love of dachshunds, my favorite breed. I have two jobs to provide for my family and pets. I have always been a complete animal lover since I was a little girl. My kids and my dogs are my whole life. I worked as a veterinarian technician back when I was in my early twenties. I also worked in grooming for a few years. I can’t imagine my life without pets.
What makes Crystal’s program special
I do have AKC registered dogs, but I always try to make sure they are good health and temperament. They are never double merle pairings. I do get puppies checked by a licensed veterinarian. I make sure everyone is vaccinated, dewormed, and in good health before they leave my care. I will take back any unwanted puppy from my programs, so it doesn’t end up in a shelter.
