What People Say About Us!
After our son deployed overseas, our home felt hollow. My husband and I barely spoke through the worry. Then we found Emily's program and brought home Rusty. That little red doxie became our shared project, our laughter during video calls with our son, and our comfort during sleepless nights. Emily's weekly puppy updates gave us something positive to focus on, and her training advice helped us bond as a family again. Rusty's goofy antics and unconditional love carried us through that difficult year
The Smith Family
When I was diagnosed with MS, my therapist suggested an emotional support animal. I'd loved dachshunds since childhood but never had the chance to own one. From our first conversation, Emily treated me like family. She matched me with sweet Lola, who came already comfortable with my mobility aids. Now Lola alerts me before dizzy spells, cuddles me through painful days, and gives me a reason to smile every morning. Emily didn't just provide a pet - she gave me back my independence and joy.
Sarah and Mark Johnson
I'll never forget the blizzard that hit the week I was supposed to pick up Oscar. When flights were canceled, Emily drove him halfway across three states to meet me, refusing to let weather delay our reunion. She arrived with a hand-knit sweater for Oscar, a care package of his favorite foods, and pages of handwritten notes about his routines. That dedication didn't stop at delivery - she's been our lifeline through teething, potty training, and even helped us find a vet when we moved. This isn't a business transaction - it's a lifelong relationship.
The Thompsons
As first-time dachshund owners, we were nervous about finding the right temperament. Emily spent hours interviewing us about our lifestyle before suggesting sweet Millie. She noticed details we wouldn't have considered - that my work-from-home schedule needed a more independent pup, while my husband's allergies required a specific coat type. Millie fits our lives perfectly, from her calm demeanor during my Zoom calls to her playful energy on evening walks. Emily's matching process is nothing short of magical.
The Rodriguez Family
Our previous dachshund suffered from severe IVDD due to poor breeding. When we were ready to try again, Emily educated us on what to look for in a responsible breeder. She showed us her dogs' genetic testing, explained her breeding pairs' lineages, and even introduced us to her vet. Our new pup, Bruno, comes from parents with perfect spines and temperaments. Watching him leap and play without fear brings tears to my eyes - this is how dachshunds were meant to be.
Emily and David Carter
After losing our 15-year-old dachshund in November, we couldn't bear to decorate for Christmas. On a whim, I contacted Emily, not expecting availability. She surprised us with a Christmas Eve delivery of tiny Holly, complete with a festive bow and a stocking full of toys. That little bundle of energy made us laugh through our grief, and her puppy antics gave us new holiday memories. Now Holly has her own ornament on our tree, right next to our old dog's - a perfect symbol of how love grows to make room for more.
The Andersons
We needed a prospect for diabetic alert training and were warned dachshunds might be too stubborn. Emily worked with us to identify a pup with the ideal focus and temperament from her litter. At just 12 weeks old, Winnie was already showing natural alerting behaviors! Emily's early neurological stimulation program gave Winnie the perfect foundation for service work. Now she monitors my blood sugar with uncanny accuracy and still cuddles like a champion. Emily didn't just raise a puppy - she helped create my lifeline.
The Nguyen Family
Living in Canada, I never thought I could adopt from an American breeder. Emily handled all the paperwork, health certifications, and even arranged a pet nanny for the flight. When Winston arrived, he was calm, happy, and already responding to basic commands in both English and French (thanks to Emily's multilingual training!). The entire process was seamless, and now we have the most wonderful mini dachshund gracing our Montreal home. Emily makes the impossible possible.
Jessica and Michael Evans
Planning my husband's 50th birthday surprise, I worked with Emily for months on the perfect reveal. She helped me create a scavenger hunt ending with puppy Greta in a gift box, trained to give kisses on command! Emily prepared Greta for our chaotic party environment, and she charmed every guest. The video of my tough-as-nails husband weeping with joy when he opened that box has gone viral in our family. That moment of pure happiness was worth every penny and planning hour.
The Williams Family
As foster parents for dachshund rescues, we've seen the heartbreaking results of irresponsible breeding. We contacted Emily to learn what ethical breeding really looks like. She invited us to visit her facility and meet her dogs. That's when we met Pepper - a "retired" mama dog Emily was keeping as her personal pet. One look at her sweet face and we were done for. Emily recognized the instant connection and let us adopt Pepper, who now helps us socialize foster dogs. She's living proof of Emily's commitment to every dog's lifelong wellbeing.

After Afghanistan, I struggled with PTSD and isolation. The VA recommended a companion dog but warned the waitlist was years long. Emily heard my story and moved me to the top of her list for therapy prospect Henry. She trained him to recognize anxiety attacks before I could, and now he's officially certified. Henry gives me courage to leave the house, interrupts my nightmares, and reminds me I'm never alone. Emily didn't just change my life - she saved it.
The Garcia Family
We bought Daisy as a pet, but Emily spotted her show potential during our pickup visit. She mentored us through junior handling competitions, coming to our first shows to cheer us on. Two years later, Daisy is a champion, and my shy daughter has blossomed into a confident young handler. None of this would have happened without Emily's eye for quality and her generous mentorship. She sees potential where others see just puppies.
Lea M.
When our beloved Fritz passed at 17, I swore I'd never get another dog. Then Emily sent me a photo of a puppy from Fritz's bloodline, with his same rare eye markings. It felt like a sign. Bringing home Freddy was like getting a piece of Fritz back, but with his own wonderful personality. Emily preserved all the best traits while improving the lineage's health markers. Now Freddy sleeps in Fritz's old bed but has carved out his own huge place in our hearts.

We wanted something unique for our wedding - enter Cooper, our ring-bearing dachshund! Emily trained him for months to walk the aisle, carry the rings in a tiny pouch, and pose for pictures. He stole the show completely and now stars in our holiday cards. Emily's advanced training made our dream wedding moment come true, and Cooper continues to be the best marriage gift we could imagine..
Wilson D.
Our preemie daughter struggled to bond until therapy sessions with Emily's facility dog, Nugget. When Nugget had puppies, Emily reserved one specially for us, doing early socialization with hospital sounds and gentle handling. Now home from the NICU, our daughter lights up when Bella curls up next to her feeding tube. Their connection is magical, and we have Emily to thank for recognizing how this special puppy could help our special girl thrive.
