We have always gotten our pets from rescue or the shelter, but when it became clear I could not find a dachshund in rescue that could go to a home with other big dogs, small children and didn't have pre-existing medical conditions, I decided to start looking for a responsible breeder. After weeks of looking into different breeders, I reached out to Leigha. She spent quite bit of time on the phone with me answering questions and clearly described the process and requirements for adopting a puppy from her.She kept us updated and replied promptly to all questions throughout the process. After our puppy was born she held regular group FaceTime sessions with all the prospective parents to update us on their progress.When it came time to pick up our puppy, she was flexible and accommodating with her time. We got to see first hand where her dogs and puppies live and they truly are part of their family. Even though there were a ton of wonderful little dogs running around, everything was clean and smelled fresh. They have dedicated space in her home with plenty of room, inside and out, to run and play.After bringing our baby home 10 months ago, she continues to be available for questions. We are in love with our little dachshund. She is obviously a physically beautiful dog, but she also has a calm and even temperament. She is great with our 2 other big dogs and with our 2 boys (8 and 10). We take her camping and to my sons' games where she interacts with a lot of small children without a problem. Leigha works on crate training before the puppies go to their homes so that made things much easier. Our dog has never demonstrated fear of loud noises (vacuum or fireworks), food, toy or resource guarding, and I have never heard her growl, except when playing with our other dogs.I would get another dog from Zendoxies without hesitation or reservation. She is a responsible and ethical breeder who loves her dogs and puppies like part of her family. I'm impressed with her efforts to breed to improve the breed. If you are apprehensive about using a breeder, like I was, Zendoxies will win your trust and confidence.
