About Tara
I live on an 80 acre farm with my amazing dogs. They get to safely explore the property during the day and cuddle on the couch with their family in the evenings. They are living their best dog lives and I love every moment with them.

“The price for dachshunds includes all necessary worming, vaccinations, and health certificate. Puppies will come with a gift bag and all necessary paperwork. Deposits are refundable ONLY if something (illness, injury, death) happens to the puppy prior to going to its new home.”
Tara may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Tara offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Tara directly.
Our puppies are given Early Neurological stimulation (ENS) and Early scent Introduction (ESI) ENS. ENS and ESI expose puppies from days 3-16 to help aid their development, resilience and coping mechanisms. These boost brain development, improve circulation and immune system, stimulate the neurological system, and improve stress responses in later life. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Scent introduction, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, ENS, Initial House Training, Basic manners, "No" Biting or Chewing, and Potty training, crate training.
All puppies are vaccinated and seen by a vet. Prior to going home, each puppy will receive their Florida Health Certificate.
We send our puppies home with Puppy starter kit, Initial potty training, Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Basic obedience & manners, and Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent.
Tara offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We don’t ship puppies, but you are welcome to come to our home to pick them up.”
