“He has been SO AMAZING! He is truly the most loyal, loving pup ever. He comes with us everywhere! He loves sticking his head out the window during car rides, LOVES the snow and going on walks with his 'cousin' (a yorkie) and his human cousins! Cuddles and naps with me or his dad and he loves to play with other dogs. He is truly the best and I couldn't have asked for a better companion. He has brought so much joy into my life”
“6 Months!! Wanted to send over some pics since we just had Frankie's (Reef) 6 month birthday! He is the best boy and I couldn't begin to tell you how much he means to me. He's my best friend!”December 2025

“He has been the most incredible pup we could've asked for. We are stopped constantly in the street by people asking who the breeder is, and his vet said he's one of the healthiest dachshunds he's ever seen. He is FULL of personality. He absolutely adores children and loves to play with other pups more than anything. Huge cuddler and total mama's boy.”

“Stanley is the happiest, goofiest, and cuddliest little guy, he's brought an immense amount of joy to our lives. He makes friends wherever he goes, and people often stop us on our walks to comment about how smiley or handsome he is. Our lives are so much happier with Stanley in them. He has such a big personality packed into his little body, and we truly couldn't love him any more!”

“Sunny is doing AMAZING! She is truly the light of my life and my best little friend. We live in New Jersey part time and Vermont part time, and she's become quite the little farm dog. She's so well behaved, minus her listening skills when she catches a scent of a squirrel or bunny! We take her everywhere with us, she's already been to many states, and next summer she'll be getting her European passport. She's the best companion I could have ever asked for.”

“Gianni continues to remain the true heart of our family. And now he's a big brother! He has been the sweetest, most loving dog to our new baby, he sits by my feet every time I feed her and just wants to shower her in kisses. We credit his time with your kids for why he is so gentle with her. He absolutely loves to play and cuddle, and remains incredibly healthy and smart.”

“I received my little bundle of mini dachshund joy Raven from Maplewood Mountain farm a little over a year and a half ago, and let me tell you, that was the best decision I ever made. She is the most lovable, courageous little spitfire and she rules the roost. We have 4 dogs all different breeds and her best friend is 70 lbs to her 7 3/4 lbs. And she is definitely the boss. Highly recommend this breed.”

“Moxxie has been such a blessing to us. She is always friendly and playful with other people and her feline sister. You can tell 100% that she had a great life before coming home, and she continues to be deeply loved.”

“Luki aka Starfire was an amazing addition to our family. She absolutely adores my teenage son, the two of them are inseparable. She is quite the character, such a big personality for a small dog. She's a very smart girl. She was the best decision to add her to our family. She's also a huge cuddle bug, and she makes us laugh and smile everyday.”

“Everything has been going smoothly with our puppy since we brought him home five+ months ago. He has grown so much in this short period of time, and the vet confirmed he is in great health at his last check-up.”

“He is doing absolutely wonderful! He is my best friend and my life! He is a very happy, loving dog! I actually just recently rescued a kitten and she is already Oscar's best friend. He protects her and cuddles with her every night!”

“This is Diesel! We love him so much and are so glad we found you guys. He has the best temperament and is such a sweet, happy boy. He loves meeting new people and is always eager to please, which has made training him surprisingly easy.”

“Olive is a joy. She's rambunctious, highly opinionated, and extremely loving. We're thrilled to have her!”

“Our boy Tokio is doing incredibly well. He has the BEST personality and is seriously such a character. He's now 10.4 lbs and doing great. We absolutely adore him and couldn't imagine our lives without him.”

“Jett has been doing absolutely amazing! He has really started to come into his own and is becoming such a confident, curious, and happy boy. He continues to surprise us with just how brave and outgoing he is.”

“Sadie is doing really well. She is healthy and loves her family so much! She went through Basic training twice and just graduated from the AKC Good Citizens class. That was a nail biter but she dug deep and found her courage and did it. She is a darling sweet girl and so funny!”

“Henry is doing fabulous! He is so sweet and lovable. He enjoys doing all the fun things with his family like camping, swimming, playing in the snow and going out for cream! We love having him as part of our family.”

“Lana is doing so well and has truly been such an amazing addition to our family. We absolutely adore her and couldn't imagine our lives without her! She has the sweetest personality with the perfect amount of sass. She loves everyone she meets and absolutely loves other animals and dogs.”

“Moose is a silly, sweet, slightly opinionated, and well loved member of our family. He spends his days playing with his favorite people. He's beautiful, and the best!”

“Scottie is doing great! We love him so much! He is so sweet, silly, and loving. Also, stubborn and loves to bark at everything haha. He is a very happy and healthy boy.”

“Daisy is such a sweet puppy. Not only is she sweet, but she's beautiful. She's a little shy, especially around new people, but she's super playful and always wags her tail. She is really a blessing in our life and I love her so much.”

“He is doing great, we all love him so much! He is the best, silliest pup ever. He has a few close friends, three are larger dogs and one is also a mini dachshund.”

“It's been quite a year with Greta! She came to us September 14, 2025. She has added a lot of excitement to our lives. Greta is great with children! When our great grandchildren are with us she is in the lake swimming with the kids, jumping off the raft with them! She enjoys them as much as they enjoy her!”

“Cosette is absolutely beautiful and she is a really good girl. She is so much fun and so sweet and smart. We have been having a lot of fun with her. She is great around other dogs. She sleeps through the night and that has been so lovely!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Maplewood Mountain Farm and couldn't be happier with Louie (formerly Jasper)! He is the sweetest, happiest boy and has been incredibly easy to train from the start. He has adjusted so well to our home and brings joy everywhere he goes. He's even become a favorite at the high school where I work, so much so that a friend is now getting a puppy from Maplewood Mountain Farm too! We are so grateful for Louie and would absolutely recommend Maplewood Mountain Farm to anyone looking for a dachshund. Kelly and Stephen are amazing and do an incredible job of making you feel supported and updated from the start.”

“We're really getting into a routine now and it's going great! She's sleeping through the night and doing really well on her walks! We can't go anywhere without several people coming up to us to take a photo! Several people have asked for your info so maybe some of her cousins will end up in Boston as well!”

“Olive has been doing so well! She loves her naps, playing, hanging out in the pool and digging. Her personality is super chill, cuddly, and loves meeting new people and exploring new things. Took her to the dog park for the first time and she warmed right up to meeting her new dog friends. She is learning new tricks and commands quickly and loves working for some treats!”

“Buddy is doing great! He is such a sweet boy with a goofy little personality that we absolutely love. He is fully crate trained at night and is doing well with potty training... He also completed six weeks of puppy school, where he learned all of his basic commands and had plenty of opportunities to socialize with other puppies... Everyone who meets Buddy loves him, and we have to agree that he is a very handsome pup! The kids especially loved having him around all summer, and he absolutely loves playing with them... Everyone at the vet's office absolutely spoils him, and the doctor says he is perfect, which, of course, we completely agree with! Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to bring some much-needed joy back into our hearts. We are so thankful for Buddy every single day, and we truly couldn't love him more!”

“We are doing so well, and Cleo is settling in beautifully. She has the sweetest personality and has truly stolen our hearts. She has been so smart with potty training and is having a blast learning how to solve treat puzzles! She is always full of zoomies, loves to play fetch, and has even learned a few little tricks already. We are just absolutely obsessed with her and couldn't be happier!”
“My dad has Oscar, formerly Canyon, who he brought home last July. Oscar is an absolute doll who loves kids especially and has been the best companion for my dad. He is his shadow, providing snuggles and a watchful eye everywhere. He is just down the road in Newbury, NH with his big brother Jack the Goldendoodle and the two get along famously.”

“My boyfriend and I brought Chief, formerly Ash, home last November and we couldn't imagine our lives without him. I grew up with corgis and labs and he has been the easiest puppy to house train and acclimated to life in Boston so easily. We bring him up to Maine every weekend where he loves the boat as well and is equally obsessed with visiting kids! He is a little peanut at barely 11 pounds and is the most low key, laid back dog... we have been lifelong dog owners of corgis, labs, and more and working with you guys was so seamless and the puppies are so well adjusted and healthy. Our vet has remarked at how well built and well adjusted Chief is especially!”
“Vienna is doing great. Full of life and so funny.”
“Our first night with Mr. Blue went great! He is SUCH a little love, and we are so excited to have him in our lives! We've named him Arlo and he's already making himself right at home... Thank you again for all you've done to make our dream a reality! He's a wonderful little guy.”

“He's doing amazing and settling into his new home beautifully. He is the sweetest boy and we couldn't be more in love with this little guy! We feel so lucky to have him in our lives and watch him grow. We adore him and his curious little personality so much already.”

“Blue collar (now known as Mac) is doing amazing in his new home. We love him so much!”

“He has been such a pleasure so far. He earned his Home Manners title at 14 weeks and has been potty trained since about that time as well. Thank you so much for him!”

“Winnie Cooper is adjusting well at our home and we are all just obsessed with her. I attached some pics of her living her best life.”
“We absolutely adore him and his temperament is great. He's playful, happy-go-lucky, and loves people and other dogs... he's now fully potty trained and knows all of his commands... we just wanted to share some photos and let you know how much joy he brings us. He makes us smile every day.”
“I am so glad to hear the vet went well, so proud of my little guy! He is absolutely precious and I've loved seeing all the photos and videos come over the last few weeks, thank you for those!... Thank you so much for all of your communication and support, I look forward to meeting you and taking my lil guy home next week!”
“Thank you! He has been so sweet and well behaved so far!”
“She is settling in AWESOME! I will send some pics.”

“He was perfectly behaved! Our corgis were always very stoic and the Labs and Goldendoodles have also all been howlers. It's something about the sausage shaped dogs!”
“We thought you might enjoy this video of Greta (Willow) having fun with her new ball. She's a wonderful girl!”

“HERE is an attached picture of little Snicker enjoying some couch cuddles on this autumn weekend. He's the happiest little Dachshund there ever was...”
“Not sure how you did it - but Olive is perfect - we're so grateful and having so much fun with her! She's completely healthy per the vet, sleeping basically the entire night with no potty break needs, signalling clearly anytime she has to go to the bathroom, and eating and drinking just like she should... we are having the best time. So thank you again!!!”
“River slept the entire ride home 4+ hours. He went into his crate when it was time for bed and slept through the night. He hasn't had an accident and peed & pooped on the wee wee pad the minute we got home!!! We are super inlove w this little guy!!”

“Oscar continues to be an absolute delight! Over the years, our family has mostly had Labs and Corgis so it has been so fun getting to know a new breed. Thank you for such a great experience with Oscar.”
“Quick update: He is killing it :) Will send more later. Thank you.”

“Just wanted to check in and let you know Lulu is doing wonderful in her new home. We just absolutely adore her! :) She loves playing outside and chewing away on her chew toys.”

“We are loving our girl (new name Pepper) She has had such a great first week home, and is already learning so much every day! She loves cuddles and lots of play time :) We're so thankful that you and your family did such a fantastic job raising her. She is so polite, sweet and well tempered.”
“We already love his personality so much and are beyond excited... We are incredibly grateful to you and your family for continuing to care for our boy while we're away. If anyone can handle his cute little attitude, it's definitely his mom and the amazing crew at your home.”
“Just wanted to wish you a happy Mother's Day and thank you for being such a good mama to our girl. We feel very lucky knowing that she has been cared for with love.”

“What an amazing puppy, thank you for all your hard work. Leo is such a social and confident little guy, exactly what I hoped he would be. My daughter is thrilled too.”

“He has a sweet manner and you had him so comfortable with crating it's been easy. He is already off pee pads and using outside and sleeping through the night. Could not ask for more.”

“Everything is going well and he has brought us so many smiles and laughs! I hope all is well! I also made him a little Instagram if you want to keep up to date:) Thanks for everything!”
“First off I want to thank you for a professional and easy process this weekend in obtaining Benny... Benny is settling in nicely! He's a sweet little guy with a ton of character.”
