Happy family with dachshund

I am so grateful to JoJo and her business for connecting us with our miniature dachshund, Luna last January. We just celebrated her first year of life last week! She is the love of our life and brings us so much happiness. JoJo was compassionate and thoughtful throughout the buying process. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was always very informative. She provided photo updates as Luna grew and even sent her off with us with a care package that included toys and pack scents, making Luna’s transition to our home easier. She took excellent care of Luna until graciously meeting us in Missouri for the drop off. I know where to go when we want a brother/sister for Luna!

You become one of the family when you adopt one (or more) puppies from JoJo’s Doxies! Our family has been lucky enough to bring home two little pups a year apart.

From the start, Joey was there to answer all our questions as first time Dachshund owners. Once the litter was born, Joey was in constant communication with us to update us on our pup’s development. She willingly opens her home for families to visit the pups ahead of time.

While some breeders house their dogs in separate facilities, Joey’s dogs are part of the family. The care and attention she gives to all her dogs is evident. If my husband would agree, I would have five more of Joey’s quirky, devoted little pups! But I wouldn’t trade our Henley or Hazel for the world.

Joey was so kind and easy to work with throughout the whole process! She sent me photos and videos of Violet being the spunky monkey that she is and it became the highlight of my every week while i patiently waited for her pickup day. Joey’s home is a dachshund haven with plenty of lil ones roaming around and living their best life. All the pups were friendly and loving and it was such a great reflection of how well she cares for all of them. I’m over the moon in love with my Violet, i can’t imagine having done it any other way

Hi my name is Ginger Ellis.  I got my 3 year old long haired Dachshund Star Baby (right before Christmas) from Joey.  Joey was so wonderful to work with. She let me come to her house and meet all the new babies and mommy and daddy.  Once I picked out my new baby and gave her a name, Joey made sure that she was calling her by her name and sent pictures and videos of my new baby until I could get her.  

I love the fact that Joey has the mom and dad right there for you to meet and that all (not just mommy and puppies) live in the house with her and her family.  On top of Joey give these dachshunds a wonderful home, life, and all the love they want, her spouse and children and grandchildren do the same.   Her puppies are so well adjusted and happy and loved.  She keeps you updated all the time until you get to bring that new sweet fur baby home.  When you bring the puppy home she makes sure you have some food for the puppy and I even got Christmas Toy for my girl since she was coming home right before Christmas.  

If you want to get one of the best doxie puppy ever, you want to go to JoJo’s Doxies.  Not only will you get the most wonderful sweet, adjusted, and well care for puppy to come home with you, you also will have a friend for life with Joey.  She is the most kind hearted, sweetest lady I could have ever got my puppy from and have as a friend now.  

Not only do I have one from her, my son got a wonderful little boy named Harry from her and then my niece also got her little puppy Henley and Hazle from Joey.  So if this doesn’t give the best feeling youg getting such a wonderful breeder, I don’t know what would.  My family has 4 of her fur babies and everyone of them have been wonderful and awesome pets.

Please think of getting your puppy from Joey.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET YOUR CHOICE!!!!!     I have attached pictures of my little girl Star and also one that is her half brother Harry who is my son’s dog.

Our family found JoJo’s Doxie’s through another family we knew who got their newest puppy from them, and they had nothing but nice things to say regarding their new puppy process.  After their recommendation, we contacted JoJo’s Doxies to inquire about available puppies.  We were given detailed information about picking out a puppy and this breeder also did due diligence and checked us out to make sure our family would be a good fit for the one of their puppies.  that is a true sign of a responsible breeder. 

Once the selection was made our family was updated about our puppy througth birth, vet checks, and vaccinations.  We received updated pictures and videos until our puppy was ready to come home with us.  The lines of communication were always open and we know that if we had question, we would receive an answer quickly.

Our Millie was given to us with a thorough information folder along with a starter care package to ensure that the transition to our family would go smoothly for her.  Such thoughtfulness for this new little pup deeply appreciated.

Even though our Millie will be two this Christmas Eve, our family still connects with JoJo’s Doxies.  they are interested in knowing that she is thriving.

We couldn’t imagine our family without our sweet, loving, fluffy ball of fun-loving energy hat is our Millie.  We are grateful that we were able to work with JoJo’s Doxie’s to be able to add Millie to our family.  We would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for top quality, family-raised mini dachshunds.

JoJo Doxie’s is so special and we are very fortunate to have found her. You can tell the love and care she puts into raising her fur babies and how that continues throughout her dogs’ lives. They radiate happiness and healthiness. It was great to be involved from the start of our puppies lives and watch them grow through updates until they could go to their forever home. Two years later and she still asks about them which truly shows how much she cares – this level of care is often hard to find. If you’re looking for the best way and place to add a miniature dachshund into your life, go through JoJo’s. Both dogs we have are spunky little sausages with unique personalities, and we can’t imagine having gone on this journey with anyone else.

Happy family with dachshunds

I had been wanting one of Joey’s doxies for a while now and one day I had seen this girl puppy from a litter that Joey had posted and I knew I had to have her.  I reached out to Joey to see if anyone had swooped her up already and with my luck no one had!  Due to my circumstances I wasn’t able to come pick up the puppy, but Joey worked with me and was able to hold on to her for a little longer and actually met me in Northern California so I could have the puppy I’ve been wanting for so long.  Sweetie (my puppies name) was so gorgeous and fit in so well with my roommates and I.  She is such a healthy sassy diva and loves her cuddles.  Joey helped me get sweetie adjusted and walked me through what it takes to care for her and I’m so glad and grateful for her and am so happy it all worked out.  Now Sweetie is a part of the family so we can spoil her with all our love and care

We finally decided to pull the trigger and get a dog, a dachshund at that. My college aged daughter has always wanted her own and it was time, no more begging from her. She( my daughter) had always wanted a girl and Joey just had a litter and the mother had one girl. It was perfect. Joey went out of her way and kept her a bit longer than normal and then flew out with her to the Bay Area to deliver her. It was love at first sight. Personalities were on point, sassy and vibrant! She delivered her with a blanket, collar and carry case so we could get her to her final destination Corvallis. Joey took the time to explain all about her, her background, her personality and how to care for Sweetie!, her name. Joey and Sweetie have brought so much joy to my daughter, she has so much love to give. A perfect match. Thank you so much for joining these two. An unbreakable bond.

Joey was fantastic to work with! She explained everything we needed to know about Ralphy, had all of his paperwork done, sent home food, toys and a blanket with mom and siblings scent on it. Joey genuinely loves all of her pups! Ralphy is literally the best!

You have a great set up for your dogs. They are happy and healthy. I love that all the dogs have more than enough room to run and exercise.  It’s the cleanest kennel I’ve ever seen.
