We are so grateful for Linda, she was amazing to work with! She kept us updated throughout the whole process with pictures and health updates. Our girl is perfect and you can tell she was well cared for. Linda and her husband Chris were flexible when our flight nanny had to make a last minute change in the delivery date. We couldn’t be more thankful for our newest family member!

As long as I can remember I’ve been against breeding and I’ve always told people to adopt and not shop. As I got older, i recognized the importance of keeping certain breeds alive, bred safely and kept healthy. When looking for a breeder I was searching for a good price, like anybody else, someone who was knowledgeable, professional, and cared about the health and wellbeing of their animals. Linda did that and then some. I searched for months for a reputable breeder and actually drove from central FL to MS for my puppy (about a 16 hour round trip). Linda of course offered me assistance with him being delivered or nannied to me, but I decided to make the drive. Finn is everything I’ve wanted and then some, he’s well socialized and my vet said he is in perfect health. If you want someone who loves their dog like family, Linda is for you. Thank you Linda!

Linda was great to work with! She kept us updated along the way while we were waiting to pick up our sweet Winston. He was in great health and well taken care of. We can definitely recommend Linda and her pups to anyone who’s looking to add a new member to their family!

Linda was great to work with as a first-time dachshund owner! She answered all my questions, and we are so excited to have Winnie home! Our puppy is smart and playful, and we couldn't be happier!

Linda was incredible to work with! She kept me up to date on my puppy with the cutest pictures she’d send every so often & just went above and beyond with the whole process. She held my puppy for a week longer after he was ready to work around my schedule & made sure he was getting the best care possible. This was my first time getting my own puppy & I couldn’t be happier. She even met me at the airport which wasn’t apart of the original plan. So thankful to get my first dog from such sweet people!
