Testimonials

All Testimonials are from our beautiful families right here in Western Australia. Our families are carefully selected to be forever homes for our incredible puppies. We are very proud of the amazing Ohana Dachshunds community that we have created.

Let me just start with this: we are in love.
We were so fortunate to be chosen by Jess at Ohana Dachshunds to be Cashews pawrents. I’ve asked Jess since, how she matches pups to families. It’s a gift.
We are so lucky to be part of the Ohana network, Cashew recently turned one and we celebrated with all six litter mates. Each pup was so well adjusted and so perfectly matched to their families.
Cashew is perfect. He is our heart. He is so chilled out, cheeky, funny and confident. Jess acclimates her pups to water, to noise, to families, to life.
Jess is so warm and lovely, like meeting up with your best friend or sister when you meet your new pup. Jess doesn’t make you feel ignorant or embarrassed, answering all our questions, and listening to all our concerns. She’s an absolute joy.
Cashew came with everything we needed to start with. No stress in what could otherwise be a stressful time. Jess thinks of everything. Such a relief. Toys, food, bowls, snuffle balls and lead/ harness. Everything.
Cashew was hand raised by Jess, and he is perfect. He is confident, filled with curiosity and brimming with love. He is our furry little heart and the centrepiece of our family. We owe it all to Jess and her ability to breed perfect pups with delightful personalities.
I couldn’t recommend Jess and Ohana more. And I certainly won’t ever be without one of her dachshunds again. It’s an absolute joy.
Thank you Jess for choosing us to be Cashews pawrents, he means the world.

Cannot fault the incredible puppy we received from Ohana Dachshunds. Jess goes above and beyond to ensure top quality lines and temperaments of her dachshunds and it shows.
Our puppy Arnie has been such a joy, he slotted into our family perfectly. He is the perfect mix of cuddly and cheeky. The process of applying for him was thorough and made us feel at ease knowing Jess takes so much pride to ensure her puppies are suitable to the right family and home.
We love that all of her puppies are located close by in WA and can reach out to Jess if we have any queries. Arnie came with an extensive and generous puppy pack, along with a folder on his relevant health history.
We can’t begin to thank Jess enough for the care and love she puts into her beautiful dogs. They really are one in a million.

I cannot recommend Ohana Dachshunds highly enough. From the very beginning, the process was professional, transparent, and filled with genuine care. What stood out most was how thoughtfully my personal circumstances and lifestyle were considered. As the litter’s personalities developed, each puppy was paired with their future homes based on the best fit — and it’s clear that’s why Willis has been such a perfect match for me. She even asked for his name early on, so she could start calling him by it, helping him adjust beautifully when he came home.
When I brought Willis home, the welcome pack was far beyond anything I could have expected. It wasn’t basic — it was incredibly impressive and filled with thoughtful, high-quality inclusions that made the transition smooth and stress-free. The amount of care, detail, and investment she puts into every pup is so evident.
Willis’s health and development have been exceptional. He hasn’t had a single serious health issue, and everything about him reflects the quality of his breeding — from his shiny coat and strong teeth to his confident, happy personality. He settled into our home so easily, which speaks volumes about the early socialisation and preparation by Ohana Dachshunds.
As a breeder, she is everything you’d hope for: ethical, reputable, and passionate. It’s obvious she adores every puppy she raises, and this is not someone in it to make a quick buck. Communication was always responsive and supportive, and even after Willis came home, she continued to check in and offer advice.
The investment is absolutely worth it — in fact, if I could, I’d happily bring home every single puppy raised by Ohana Dachshunds. If you’re considering adding a dachshund to your family, there is no better breeder in WA to trust with that journey.

Our Virgil has been an absolute dream and has brought so much joy to our lives. I found Ohana Dachshunds through RightPaw and reached out to Jess to find out more. Exciting enough she had a litter of cream long hairs on the way.
The online application process was easy and we were impressed by the level of detail and care that went into it to assist in the match making process. This also created trust that Jess was a reputable breeder who cares for her dogs and puppies futures.
Jess provided lots of updates along the way to let us know how the pups were doing and lots of cute photos.
Picking up Virgil (best day ever!) was an amazing experience, we were welcomed into the home to meet the Ohana dogs. Jess was super knowledgeable, answered all our questions making us feel comfortable taking our new pup home. He also came with most amazing puppy pack filled to the brim with goodies and a folder with details of his heritage, vet visits and health checks, insurance, guidance documents and microchip details.
Virgil settled in extremely quickly and was already a well socialised with a beautiful temperament and an all round confident little guy (everyone’s first comment - he’s so chill for a puppy). I believe this is a credit to Jess at Ohana who keeps her puppies for the full 12 weeks so they have time to develop with mum and other dogs as well as other socialisation such was toilet training, grooming and bathing, vet visits, car rides, children and more.
If choosing Ohana, you are not only getting an incredible, loving, well rounded and healthy puppy you are also joining a very supportive family network. We regularly meet up with Virgil’s other siblings and with other Ohana family members through a Facebook group. Jess has continued to check in on how we are all doing, has answered all my silly first time dog owner questions and queries and been so supportive, again showing her dedication and love for her dogs.
We are so grateful for Ohana Dachshunds and would recommend them to anyone that is looking to welcome a dachsie into their lives.

We had such a great experience with Jess at Ohana Dachshunds! She kept us updated with photos and videos of Harvey before we brought him home, and was so welcoming when we met his parents, Gypsy and Archer.
Harvey settled in almost straight away, helped by the amazing puppy pack full of toys, treats and comforts. We couldn’t be happier with our little guy and highly recommend Ohana Dachshunds!
Riley (pawrents to Harvey)

Though purchasing, loving and caring for 3 beautiful Ohana pups since 2021, I can confidently say that Jess with Ohana dachshunds genuinely cares so much about the health, safety and wellbeing of all of her pups. Whilst each of our pups have their own unique personality’s they are all so well adjusted with beautiful temperaments.
Settling our pups in at home was so much easier then we could have imagined. In the four years we have been loving our Ohana pups they have had amazing health and I genuinely believe this starts at birth and is a strong testament to the wonderful environment they were raised in. Jess sent all of our pups home with wonderful welcome packages that set us up from the start with everything we needed to get our pups settled in at home, from beds to toys to healthy nutritious food and more!
Jess goes above and beyond to make sure all her pups have the best start to life and has also established a very supportive Ohana pup community for socialising and staying connected to these pups as they grow. We would 10/10 recommend Ohana dachshunds to anyone we know looking to bring some extra love into their life.

We purchased our beautiful long-haired sausage dog from Ohana Dachshunds about two years ago, and we couldn’t be happier with him. His health, temperament, and overall mannerisms have been incredible, and we truly believe a big part of that comes from the way Jess raises and cares for her puppies.
From the very beginning, it was clear how much love and dedication she puts into her breeding and training. From the day we picked him up she helped us with everything in the take home pack to make sure he settles into his new home well, and it has been amazing!
Our boy has brought us so much joy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ohana Dachshunds to anyone looking for a dachshund. We’d definitely purchase from her again in the future!

We have only had our newest baby Lucy for around 6 weeks and to be totally honest, I was nervous! I have always been a Maltese mum, this is the breed I know intimately and am comfortable with, and dachshunds come with a certain reputation for being a little neurotic, stubborn and difficult. BUT my children begged and told me I was ruining their childhood by not getting them their dream puppy so I relented and decided to go for it. She has honestly been the best thing we could have done for our family. She is playful and fun, and bringing life and fun out of our elderly dog after years of being depressed. She is cuddle and loving, beautiful and gentle.
I have recommended an Ohana dachshund now to all our friends looking to add a new member to their family as she is so well adjusted and calm, even as a puppy. We have taken her to puppy classes and she is by far the most chilled and secure puppy among the bunch (a mix of different breeds) and I can only put this down to good breeding. And early handling/ socialisation by Jess.
Jess was also so helpful and professional to deal with, the pack that Lucy came with was extensive, and I feel comfortable reaching out for advice if I need it to draw on her years and years of experience as a sausage mum! We would and probably will get another in the future!
Karen G. (Pawrent to Lucy)

We got our first Ohana baby in 2022 and she was an absolute dream. So much so that we couldn’t help but get another Ohana baby in 2023.
Jess puts so much love into her puppies and it truly shows. We often get comments that our girls have a much better temperament than the typical dachshund and I think a lot of that comes down to their early development.
Jess has been wonderful answering any questions we’ve had over the years and we wouldn’t go anywhere else if we were looking for another puppy in the future.

We bought our golden boy, Norman at the start of 2024, and he has been the best addition to our family! His temperament and nature are amazing, so friendly with everyone he meets and he got along with our other sausage dog straight away. He’s full of life, loves an adventure, and all the vets have commented on how lovely he is (especially compared to the typical “spicy” sausage personality!).
His health has been perfect, with no issues or concerns, and we couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Ohana 100% — the service and support are unmatched. It’s been so special to even build a little friendship with Jess through Instagram, sharing updates as Norman grows. We will absolutely go through Ohana again and recommend them to anyone who asks where we got our beautiful golden boy.
Jenn K. (pawrent to Norman)

Jess from Ohana Dachshunds was so lovely, from the first email inquiry to pick up day, and ongoing support we get from her even years after purchase. Jess and her family was so helpful and professional all the way through.
The puppies adjusted well to their new home and environment and had great temperament. They came healthy and vaccinated and the puppy pack was a bonus! She provided everything you’d need to take care of a puppy such as a bed, food, harness, lead, cleaning products and toys.
We bought 3 puppies from Ohana (individually) which I believe says a lot about our experience and the quality of the puppies, we keep going back! We always get compliments on our puppies, how pretty they are and well mannered.
Highly recommend Ohana Dachshund if you’re after a beautiful healthy dog.

I saw on Jess’s Ohana Page that she still had 2 little men available for purchase. I sent through an expression of interest as requested and Jess responded really quickly with an application for us.
We were selected to be Bandit’s family and Jess asked us for our name but we decided to stick with Bandit so it was great that he knew his name when we picked him up. The whole process was seem-less and Jess gave us lots of updates along the way. Bandit came with everything he would need to get started and he settled in well to our family.
The whole experience with Jess was great from start to finish and you can see how much love and care she puts into her dogs and all the babies. If I was allowed a third dachshund I wouldn’t hesitate to get another one from Jess.
