Testimonials

Babette,

Thank you SO SO SO much for taking care of Bru for us. He is seriously so perfect and we are so grateful for you. He is so playful and snuggly and his first night was such a breeze. He went into his crate and slept through the night until 5:30 AM and then went outside for the bathroom. The city noises are a little scary to him, but he is quickly getting used to it. I love that he is so vocal because he is definitely telling us what he needs. Thank you for the toys and bed as well! That was so unexpected and SO nice of you. He loved the bed you gave him and now he has a bed in every room. :)Thank you again for this perfect little baby, we are SO SO obsessed with him!

When we decided to get another dog after our mini dachshund Frank, passed away last year, it wasn't a decision we made lightly. We had been leaning toward not getting another dog. We were just so heartbroken. Then one day I decided to 'just look'. Ruff Haus Dachshunds stood out among the sites that came up. There were pictures! And videos!! And The lady who shot the videos exuded such love for her dogs. And the dogs were stunning! I decided to call, just to see if any of the gorgeous babies I saw were available. I had to leave a message but instead of leaving a short inquiry, I began crying!!! I told her about Frank, how we were heartbroken, how we wanted another one, then I apologized for blubbering and hung up. Five minutes later Babette called back and she was so nice! She could certainly relate. We talked about her dogs, some of the dogs she loved and lost, Frank, our love for dachshunds. She said we'd stay in touch and she said we'd know when we were ready to give our heart to a dog again. I went to Ruff Haus Dachshunds on Facebook and the website often. Babette and I stayed in touch. My husband and I knew that we would get one of their babies when it was right. Well, fast-forward a bit...we just brought Nigel home. He is beautiful to look at but more importantly, he is healthy, pretty well potty trained, knows his name, is affectionate, and rambunctious! That can only be possible because of the expert breeding as well as the attention , love and affection Babette and her family gives to each and every dog that dwells within their walls. She is there to answer questions, offer suggestions and gab about doxies. Her dogs are beautiful. She is a conscientious breeder/Momma of doxies. If you are looking for quality, loving dogs from conscientious, knowledgeable, and loving people give Babette a call or message her. I am glad I did.

If you are looking for a dachshund , Ruff Haus is the place !
My husband and I were looking to expand our family with a English cream dachshund we were referred to babette & we are so glad ! We got not only pictures each day of our precious puppy rosie lynn, but we got videos too!
We love rosie lynn with all our heart ♡ & so glad we chose Ruff Haus for our 2nd dachshund Rosie Lynn. Jennifer and David Niles

From the time we started looking at the photos and videos of Patticakes' puppies, we knew that this is a labor of love for Babette and that she takes great pride as a breeder of dachshunds. We looked forward to her daily postings and had great fun watching our puppy Jackson and his siblings grow and play. It's clear that the puppies were born and raised with much love and TLC. Jackson has the sweetest disposition--so sociable, cuddly, and playful. We are so grateful to Babette for our little bundle of joy. We can see another Ruff Haus dachshund in our future. :-) ~Nate Burris and his family

We lost our 14 year old beagle in January and, although, we didn't think we would get another dog, we quickly changed our minds. After doing lots of research, we decided that a dachshund was the right fit for our family! At first, we explored the dog rescue route and could not find the right match. After speaking with a friend and dachshund lover, she recommended checking out Ruff Haus Dachshunds and the rest is history! From the start, Babette was informative, kind, and supe...r responsive! When our little bundle of pure joy was born on May 1st, we began receiving DAILY pictures and often videos! Our family began falling in love with Max long before he entered our home. Babette LOVES her dogs and it shows! Max is adorable, has a super sweet temperament and has been a wonderful addition to our family! I can not say enough amazing things about our experience and would HIGHLY recommend Ruff Haus Dachshunds to anyone looking for the perfect family dog! The Fortier family.

Hi Babette, Quite often we vist your website just to see your beautiful babies. By babies we mean all ages. We wanted to write this to you in hopes you might put it on your website for others to read. Our family met Babette when we first got our beloved Oliver. He brought so much love in our home. He imm...ediately attached himself to our older dog. They were inseparable. Ollie had a beautiful coat and temperament. No one could believe he was a puppy as he was so laid back. I still tell everyone that Ollie was a puppy with an old soul. Tragedly he was accidentally hit by a car in our driveway when he was 2 years old. He died instantly. I held him in my arms while rocking him in my rocking chair. Just begging God to give us our Ollie back, trying to convince myself that Ollie was just unconscious. Finally, I had to let my Ollie go. My family and I were beyond devasted. Many many tears as we tried to come to grips that our Ollie was now in Heaven. We have made a special place for Ollie in our home, with his remains, pictures of him and his favorite toy. We decided to contact Babette to share our grief. Babette was so very kind to us. And shared our grief around our loss. We then found out that she had a litter of puppies due soon. It was a struggle at first but then we decided we would like to have another baby. So we let her know we would like a girl and we would name her Olivia. The puppies were born, 5 girls and one boy. Immediately we felt that we should also have the boy who was named Simon. We have had them both now for 1 1/2 years. They are beautiful. To us they are twins. They dont like being seperated at all and choose to sleep in the same crate together. Our older dog took to them right away, to this day she watches over them. We call her momma dog now as she defiantly acts like a mother to them. Simon and Olivia learned several commands by 11 weeks old! They knew how to sit, they knew what kennel meant. Later on they learned what inside and outside meant. They have a nice pen outside with half of it covered for shade.They love to dig holes and lie down in them. We still use puppy pads inside just in case. They will use them at times but for the most part they go outside. These two babies brought us back some of Ollie, we can see him in both of them. We want people to know what a wonderful person Babette is. She truly felt our pain. We cant thank her enough for her support.She absolutely loves all her babies, young or old. Her puppies come to you with such love. Its easy to tell she works hard and gives them such good care and attention. So thank you again Babette for all you have done for our family. We feel truly blessed to have met you. Julie Howard and family

There aren’t enough positive adjectives to describe the joy and reward of being owned by one of Babette’s beautiful long-haired miniature dachshunds. We have always had dogs but never before have they so completely had us. Our two little reds have the most loving natures and expressive personalities. They cause a stir everywhere we take them. People stop us on the street to ask about them and get a chance to meet them. Our little male has a gorgeous, extraordinary long coat and the most affectionate personality. Our little female has delightfully comical facial expressions, in addition to her beautiful, shiny, cinnamon coat and cuddly ways.

Family and friends marvel at how socially well adjusted and loving our little dogs are. People contend for a turn to provide a lap for one of our little friends. They have yet to meet someone that they could not win over. Babette and Brandy deserve all the credit for how well these dogs adapt to family life and enjoy their people. Their love and tender care for their pups and the wonderful start in life that they give these sweet little dogs makes all the difference. We are eternally grateful that we found Ruff Hhaus Dachshunds when we were ready to add a dog to our family. We couldn’t love them more!

As the saying goes, anyone who has ever owned a dachshund knows that you can't stop with just one, so having owned our first dachshund, Max, for the past two years, we decided that it was now time to add to our family.

We started our search online and soon discovered Babette's very impressive website. Shortly thereafter we began corresponding with Babette who responded to our many questions promptly, thoroughly, and knowledgeably. Not long after our correspondence began, our puppy, Murphy, came into our lives.

When Murphy was two weeks old, we requested a home visit. Babette very graciously invited us to come to their home the next day where we were introduced not only to Murphy's parents, but to their 20+ other dachshunds(plus a golden retriever), all beautiful dogs, I might add. It was very apparent that Babette maintains an immaculate home with optimum breeding conditions. As you can tell, we were very impressed with everything we saw that day.

Murphy has now been home with us for a month, but it seems like he's been here forever. Max and he are quickly becoming the best of friends spending a large part of their days playing games of "chase" and "chew" while we video and take photos of their antics(isn't this what all proud dachshund owners do?). He has obviously been well socialized as he loves meeting and greeting everyone who crosses our threshold.

Babette certainly maintains high breeding standards that produce these delightful puppies. She is very accomodating to the needs and wishes of her prospective families. We couldn't have found a puppy better suited to us or love little Murphy any more than we do. He's a wonderful dog, a true testament to an excellent breeder. In fact, we've already decided that when the time comes to add that third irresistible dachshund to our family, Babette will be the first one we call.

Thank you, Babette, for the warm bundle of joy!

Mason has been with for a week now and it seems as though he has always been here. He really was meant to be a part of our family. He has a great personality and he is full of energy! He adjusted quickly to his new home and bonded with everyone. Including the cat and 2 year old mini dachshund Mia. We chose Mason a month before he was ready to leave his mom and Babette was so helpful along the way. She answered all of my questions and kept the family updated on how he was doing. She sent pictures often which was nice for the kids. Her care and compassion is evident and she is a great ambassador for the breed.

Thank you so much for everything Babette!!!! Mason sends you big kisses!!!

Floyd and I have been dachshund lovers forever and after being dachshund-less for a few years we decided it was time to get another one. well, we couldn't just stop at one. we ended up with 3 (all about the same age and all from Babette). I can't begin to tell you how much fun they are and how well adjusted they are. it's obvious that they come from a loving and caring environment. We've been to Babette's several times to take the dogs back for a visit and to see her new additions. The boys get really excited when we get there - almost as if they know this was their first home. We're always impressed with her dogs and how well they relate to visitors. Her dogs are truly a part of her family - I don't know how she can bear to let any of them go. (this is also why i don't breed them). Judy & Floyd (Maine)

I cannot tell you how much I love my dear little girl Madeleine Babette.
People are constantly commenting on how gorgeous she is and how surprised
they are by her calm personality. She does have her wild side - which is
hilarious in that tiny little body. She is the queen of the entire
neighborhood.
Babette & the Ruffhaus Dachshund family are extraordinary. You can tell how
much they love and care about each and every puppy. If there was any way I
could handle a third dog - I'd have already gotten another puppy from
Babette. I don't know how we survived without our little Maddie girl. Kimberly (Maine)

Babette,
I just wanted to thank you for the latest addition to our family.. Ruby thinks that she is a big girl. She follows her big brother ,Cooper and her big sister ,Callie like she's their shadow. I've taken Ruby with me everywhere. She wins everyone over with that beautiful face and great personality. Ruby is very calm and is so very smart. She already knows the down, sit, come , potty and no commands and she's only 11 weeks old. Thank you again for allowing us to add this little bundle of joy to our family. We love her so much! Warning owning dachshunds may be addicting! No one can have just one!

Two Girls!

We are so thankful to have the sound of pitter-patter throughout our home again with the arrival of Lu and Emmy. When I saw Babette's website I just knew this was where we were going to find our bundles of joy. We are grateful that Babette and her loving family have given our puppies the best start they can possibly have. Her careful attention to selecting the best breeding mates has produced healthy, happy, well-mannered and well-tempered puppies no matter what litter you select from. We got Lu from a litter of just two little girls and the following week we went back for Emmy who came from a different litter--Lu and Emmy had been playmates from their early weeks of development, so right away they knew one another and have continued to be best friends.

I am so glad we have two girls! Lu is so affectionate and precious in her light red and white coat and Emmy is equally as loving and beautiful in her dark black and tan coat. Our veternarian remarked at how healthy and well cared for they have been at their 9 week old appointment. He was pleased to see the positive results that comes from thoughtful and careful breeding.

It is now our great priveledge to provide a happy and safe life for our two girls, Emmy and Lu! Thanks, Debra (Maine)

Dear Babette,

How can I ever thank you for blessing us with such a wonderful doxie. Tripp is not only gorgeous on the outside, but he is gorgeous on the inside. A true life long companion! You can tell that you spend time with your pups and give them love and attention as you get them ready to go to their forever homes. He was such a love from the second we picked him up from the airport, he is now 9 mos old and we love him more every day!

Thanks again and keep doing whatever you are doing!

"We purchased a beautiful puppy from you in December 2008, after being thoroughly impressed with the site, the answering of questions, the obvious care that had been given to the puppy and the great communication throughout the process. This addition to our family is one of the best of all time. Thank you, again, and we will stay in touch. Attorney Stan Hawthorne and Renee Hawthorne, Wakefield, NH"

Babette

Thank you for the 2 little guys ( Colonel Klink and Sergenant Schultz ). They are so lovable. After we got Colonel Klink in January 2008, we said that we needed to get him a playmate. We contacted you about getting him a playmate, and you gave us Sergenant Schultz in August 2008. They have brought so much enjoyment since we have had them. When we go for walks, everyone that we go by, the little guys get alot of attention and pats. They are so much fun. Thank you very much.

Hey there,

Sorry we haven't sent you an e-mail yet. We've been busy helping Ella settle in. She has been so fantastic. Ella is the perfect puppy for us. She goes on her peepad every single time, with the exception of the very first time because she didn't know where to go yet. She loves cuddling and sleeping with us, and we take her out to play in the park across the street. Thank you so much for raising such a wonderful puppy. We love her to pieces. She has become more attached to me than Miranda, and I was just wondering if that will always be the case or if it's just the puppy stage?

Ella sends her puppy kisses,

Andrew and Miranda (MA.)

We purchased a puppy from www.ruffhausdashunds.net. From Babette she has a great breed of Dachshunds, and is a very nice person to do business with Li'l Gracie is a great puppy. Our puppy is very healthy and loveable and playful and is the joy of our life. We couldn't have asked for a better puppy.

Thank you Aunt Babette for the best souvenir I could have ever imagined from Maine. I love Tucker so much I could eat him with a spoon. He is so pretty and sweet and just our little cuddle bug. I love you big bunches, Mackenzie (Texas)

Greetings from NH

Thought I would let you know that I would catch you up on the heart that walks around outside my body also known as Mayako - what a truly sensationaly girl she is. She atracts a crowd wherever we go and is so very friendly to everyone who meets her. I had expected joy from owning a dog....but what I get from Maya is so much beyond my expectations that I am overwhelmed. We go to the park almost every day, and even when we don't, we get to play in the yard, and play we do. She is curious, rambunctious and full of P & V. I love it. She has brought such joy into my life and I again want to thank you for bringing us together. I do not have any pictures that I can hook to my computer yet, but that is in the works, and when I do, I will send some along. She grows more beautiful and friendly every day. I could have sold her several times over - but NO WAY. We belong together and she goes almost everywhere with me. And even sneaks into stores she might not normally supposed to be in....shame on me for that one! But we continue to have a great time together and again, thanks much. Tell her Mom and Dad she says hello and she misses them, but not enough to move home.......

Mickey & Maya

Have a magical day! (New Hampshire)

My husband is Babette's brother and they are very close. We all are in fact and I wish they lived closer or vica versa. We visit the gang in Maine about every three years because of the expense of travel (and in between our having kids) but would see them more if we could. Our girls are 7 and 4 and we had not even considered getting a pet as we have two dogs and a cat that are all old as the hills and on borrowed time, that we thought we would wait to pass on to the next life before getting new pets. Okay that is easy to do from thousands of miles away but in true form, our "favorite Aunt Babette" managed to produce about a zillion beautiful puppies on que as if she just new exactly when we were going to show up. Now if you think one or two of these puppies are beautiful, imagine a gaggle of these geese all at once. And folks, these dogs are their pets. They aren't in the back forty in a kennel. They watch TV with them, sit under foot in the kitchen, play board games on the floor with the kids, etc. In a weeks time we got to know the pups really well and it was so much fun watching the kids play with them. Aunt Babette kept asking us if she could give the girls a puppy from her and we just couldn't say no. So like a true Griswald family vacation, we hauled two very small kids, a pile of luggage and one tiny but beautiful dachsund back from Maine on the airplane. I wish I could describe to you how sweet Tucker is. He is so great with the kids (Imagine a pup being dragged slowly out from under the Christmas tree by a three year old, by the tail, backwards and not so much as a yelp.) and they just love him. He is such a big part of our family and has been the perfect pet for all of us. There isn't one person that comes to our house that doesn't goes nuts over him, going on and on about how beautiful he is. That is the beauty of Babette's dogs; they are very versatile. Tucker could just as easily be a show dog as he is our family pet. We thank her all of the time for gifting the girls such a treasured gift that they will never forget. He is truly a part of our family and we can't imagine life without him.

Hi Babette,

Happy New Year! Our guy was neutered on 12/27 and is doing just fine. Jack was home that week which made it easier to take care of the little bundle of energy. He's back on track except not taking those power walks for now.

I know you're used to hearing this about your litters, but Cooper is our first Dachsy with such a wonderful temperment. Every person loves him. When he went in for his surgery that morning, the Vet Tech (who has loved him from his early puppy days) says she carried him around that morning. Just makes me smile.

And he is great in his crate now. No more of those tantrums that you heard over the phone. He takes a power nap every morning after breakfast ... nice life.

But ... our perfect little dog has now found his voice. Makes me laugh. We fell for this with our first puppy ... "Gee, he doesn't bark very much." Hah!!

It's a new winter world for him, so we're dealing with the barking pretty well. Got advice from his trainer at the NHSPCA on how to handle it when (and if) it escalates.

Thanks for the dog cartoons. Made me laugh ... I visit your website often to see what's new. I think of all the owners that will be starting their journeys with their little guys. What a trip it has been for us.

Kisses to every single dachshund in your pack and tell Lexi her boy is doing fine ... he's living the life and I can't imagine our lives without him. How boring it was before he came!

Grace (NH)

P.S. He's not too spoiled. We shovel a poop area for him after every snow storm that we've had. And it's been a record year. The prince sits on the steps and watches.

I purchased a pup from Babette a month ago and she's just so sweet!! She loves everyone, not defensive or shy at all- you can tell she's been well socialized!! She is healthy and clean with no fleas, etc. and just so beautiful! I like that I was able to get a quality pup without looking halfway across the country! Also Babette was great to talk with and work with when I was making my decision which of course is a pleasure!! Thanks so much! Jennifer (Vermont)

Babette & Brandi do a wonderful job with their dogs, they are always happy, clean and healthy. they are honest,knowledgeable, and accessible, accessibility is very important to me and I would like to stress that these ladies are accessible before, during, and after you get a puppy from them. Les (Maine)

That's right I'm hooked on Dachshunds. It started shortly after losing a family pet sheltie to complete kidney failure. Ever since I began the search for another small breed dog, and researched the breed, I began looking on the Uncle Henrys swap and sell it internet site. Yeah, that's when I fell in love with this gorgeous red sable boy mini long haired Dachshund, Tucker' s A Little Sable Treasure (Born April 25, 2006) a male, he has live with us for 1 yr. and proven to be everything we could ever ask for in a loviing, loyally devoted companion. Babette, Bruce, Brandy and children are exceptional . They have been there willingly, to answer any questions and never seeming to be bothered By what I ask They live close by, to be able to visit as well. This made the transition with a pup less stressful. I believe the time, care and pati ence spent with all their dachshunds, Is what created such a wonderful loving friend. Ok, ready for this one........ I did it all over again, Yep a sweet little girl, a dilute red cream, Summer's Sweet Cream Serenity (Born March 26, 2007) she's a tiny little sweet pea. I believe, that independant breeders are the way to aquire a pet from as they stand by their exceptional devotion for every dachshund entering and leaving their home. Rachel (Maine)
