LETTERS FROM OUR PUPPY FAMILIES
|
I want to thank you once again for
providing me with the best dog in the
world!! He has such a wonderful
disposition and is so loving. My
daughter adores him and the two are
constant companions whenshe
comes up to visit me.
Many thanks for Buzz, he is such a
joy!! He's more
than a dog!!!!!
Best regards,
Jim Hankard

Poor Meadows Dachshunds is the absolute best.
The dogs are all just darlings and well taken care of.
They are all loved so much. Heidi and Dana dote
over the puppies constantly so they know that they
are loved. They are always under the watchful eye
of Mama Heidi! On their last night with Heidi, they are
given even more special care, love and attention
before they go off to their forever homes. I have
had my fur baby, Cody, for 2 years now and I just love
him so much, he is a good, sweet, loving dog, not a
mean bone in his body. Everybody should adopt
from Heidi. Not only did I find a friend in my dog, but
also I found a good friend in Heidi. We keep in touch
and if there are any questions, dog related or not,
she is always there to help.

I chose Kenzie. She is a red brindle female and she is perfect. We
live in Boston and Heidi refers to Kenzie as the “bling, bling girl.” I
first visited Kenzie in Bridgton, Maine when she was only 4 weeks
young. I fell in love immediately. At that time, Kenzie fit in the palms
of my hands. I can remember walking into Heidi and Dana’s home
and feeling so much joy. Dachshunds everywhere…it was amazing.
Once I had met Kenzie, I instantly became a nervous “mom.” I
continuously e-mailed and called Heidi with all of my questions and
worries. Sometimes, she would chuckle at my nervousness. Kenzie
turned 8 months on July 11 and weighs 13 pounds. She has such a
playful and loving personality and brings so much happiness to my
life and my home. And, everyone in the neighborhood just adores
her.
Heidi and I still keep in touch…months later. I continue to e-mail her
with my concerns and send her countless photos of Kenzie - Kenzie’
s 1st Christmas, Kenzie’s 1st swim, etc.
I wish everyone the experience that I have had over the past 8
months. Thank you, Heidi and Dana.

Hello,
Just a little note from Freckles, We're so happy for Marlie and
her new puppies! I love my new home and I'm being a very
good girl for mommy and Daddy I only cry when I have to go out
to go potty. The night time is getting better I only have to go
once. My parents family also love me and gave me lots of hugs
and kisses. My mommies daycare kids love me so much she
does'nt have to do much to keep them busy between activities.
I love when daddy comes home from work I get to play catch
with my toys and have more hugs. Mommy is so proud of me I
go out the door with her and go up two steps to the side yard
to do potty all by myself. I do a good job on my food, I'm getting
big and strong you know. And my very best time of the day is
when mommy and daddy watch T.V. at night I get to sit with
them on the couch or in their laps!!!! So bye bye for now It's nap
time for the daycare kids and Mommy has to get busy on a few
things! P.S. from Mommy
Thank You for the best puppy I love her so much She brings
tears to my eyes when she loves me and daddy! Freckles is
such a joy to have in our family!
Love Freckles and Carol & Dennis is at work but wishes the
best with your new puppies. I hope people know how lucky they
are to get a puupy from you, your the best!!!!!


We took years to decide whether or not we were going
to add a second dachshund into our "family". Once we
finally decided to take the plunge, the search began.
Finding a good breeder is a difficult job, and finding
a good breeder in New England seems to be an even more
difficult job. After weeks of searching, we found
Poor Meadows through breeders.net. Heidi sent an
intelligent, thorough response to our initial email
and we were psyched. The open invitation to visit her
home and meet all the dogs (including new puppies)
sealed the deal. When we got our first dachshund we
never really met his father and we were eager to meet
both parents of our next dog. As soon as we arrived,
we were greeted by the Poor Meadows herd. Six healthy
and vibrant dachshunds swarmed all over us. We knew
we were in the right place.
I think we spent a little over an hour with Heidi that
day. She answered all of our questions, and through
our time spent with her we could see how much she
loved her dogs. We left a deposit on Maggie, the runt
of the litter, and went home to count the days until
she could come home with us. Heidi sent emails and
photos regularly so we could track her growth. Ten
weeks later, we brought our little girl home, and she
is a healthy, well adjusted dachshund. We attribute a
lot of this to the love, care, attention, and
socialization that she received while she was at Poor
Meadows.
We recommend Poor Meadows without reservation. Heidi
has been super responsive to all of our questions, and
we've even been back for a visit so she could see how
well Maggie is doing. We joke about starting our own
"herd", and I know that if we do we will be getting
the next addition from Poor Meadows.

Heidi:
Ollie is truly great, even-tempered, affectionate, and
very smart. Emilee is beyond pleased by him, and as
you can guess, he is extremely spoiled in a very good
way. Our friends are also impressed by his socialization,
which is a compliment to you. When are you expecting
another litter? We may have someone interested in
buying a puppy she just adores Ollie. He sleeps with
Emilee, and the amazing thing is that he has never had
an accident on the bed he always goes to a paper on the
floor. He is now buddies with a retriever and a Great
Dane quite the canine family picture. We will keep you
updated...take care, and thanks for breeding such a
great dog.

My experience with Poor Meadows Dachshunds was extremely
pleasant. When I moved to Eastport, I decided to get a little
companion so I wouldn't be so lonely. I found Poor Meadows
through breeders.net and when it came down to it, Heidi was
very responsive and helpful answering any questions that I
had. "Tatum" is absolutely an amazing friend, he is so sweet
and is always by my side. I am so happy to have gotten a Poor
Meadows puppy, and I would not hesitate to recommend Poor
Meadows to everyone.

I am very happy that of all the websites I researched for
finding the love of my life - I came across Poor Meadows.
It felt right from the moment we corresponded for the
first time. Heidi has such a happy, warm, pet filled home.
My daughters and I did not want to leave when we came
to visit Brutus! I did not anticipate the love I would have
for this dog, Heidi has been very helpful with all
questions and nervous new mom inquiries. Thank you
for being the one to provide me with the pet I have
always wanted. Maybe someday, Brutus (Bear and Beans
also) will need a brother or sister! Thank you Heidi - your
pup is very much loved!
