I’m so thankful to Kim for my little Zeb, he is everything I wished for and more. I decided to get Zeb after tragically and unexpectedly losing my husband just after one month of marriage. He had always wanted a mini daschund and I felt like it was the perfect time for me to get a dog, a little being to help me mend my broken heart and soul. After looking and looking only for a breeder, I was recommended Autumn Daschund and am so glad and thankful for Kim who always sent me pictures and detailed information about my pup. He has been the biggest blessing in this storm. Thank you, Kim 🤍
We are beyond in love with our puppy, Pip, and so thankful we found him. From beginning to end, we had such a wonderful experience. The care, communication, and love you put into your dogs truly shows. Our pup is healthy, sweet, and already such a huge part of our family. He has the best personality—everyone who meets him falls in love. You can truly tell how well these puppies are loved and cared for, and we couldn’t recommend you more. We would 100% recommend you to anyone looking for a great breeder!
I cannot say enough positive things about Kim & Autumn Breeze Dachshunds! Honestly, purchasing a puppy (first one of my own at that) from a breeder almost halfway across the country was not at all what I ever pictured my experience of bringing home a puppy would be like. Having him fly home with a flight nanny that Kim set up was definitely a different experience, especially with him flying on a plane before i ever have!! But once I laid eyes on my sweet boy (through a photo, I must say 😄) and spoke to Kim for the first time, I knew he—and I—were in good hands.
Kim updated me every step of the way, made me feel completely comfortable asking even the silliest questions, sent me so many adorable pictures of my sweet boy, and most of all, took the absolute best care of him. He has the sweetest temperament, loves to snuggle and play catch, and has been attached to my hip since the day I brought him home (doesn’t hurt that he’s the cutest little weenie!).
I could not be more grateful to Kim for bringing me my best friend, Oscar. I will absolutely be coming back to Kim when we’re ready for Oscar to have a friend! 😊
There are moments in life when your heart quietly says, yes… this was meant to be. Bringing Basil into our family is one of those moments. We truly couldn’t be happier. He is perfect, inside and out. One minute he’s curled up, soaking in all the snuggles, and the next he’s bursting with joyful, playful energy. He has fit into our lives so effortlessly, it feels like he’s always belonged here.
What has meant even more to us is Kim’s continued care and genuine interest in her puppies long after they leave for their forever homes. Her check-ins, guidance, and heartfelt connection make it clear that her commitment doesn’t end at adoption...it’s lifelong. We are deeply grateful to Kim for trusting us with one of her precious pups. She is a responsible, thoughtful breeder who pours intention, love, and integrity into raising beautifully well-rounded dogs. Basil is a reflection of that commitment in every way.
Thank you, Kim, for giving us not just a dog, but a precious new member of our family.
Hi Kim,
As promised, please find my testimonial below & pictured attached:
I’ve followed Kim’s Facebook page for years and have always admired the beautiful pairings and adorable puppies she’s had. From her posts and website, it was clear she’s a fantastic breeder who truly cares for her dogs.
Fast forward to 2022, I finally reached out to Kim to inquire about a puppy - and I’m so glad I did. If you’re looking for a dachshund breeder, Kim is the one. Her communication is superb and she made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.
I welcomed a miniature cream dachshund named Pablo from her, and Kim kept me updated every week with plenty of videos and pictures of him and his littermates. She is caring, honest, and simply incredible to work with.
This was my first time having a dog of my own and Kim went above and beyond with helpful tips, tricks, and guidance on how to care for these sweet pups. She even made the delivery process seamless. I live in California, and Pablo was coming from the Midwest, but everything went perfectly smooth.
We are absolutely in love with Pablo. I still keep in touch with Kim and send her updates - she’s become a friend and I’ll definitely be returning to her when the time is right for another dachshund.
Thank you for everything, Kim!

I was a little nervous at first about buying a puppy online from out of state, especially since he would have to travel to us by plane from Missouri. However, as soon as I spoke to Kim on the phone, all my nerves disappeared. You could immediately tell how deeply she cares for her dogs. She spoke with such love and honesty about them that I instantly knew I could trust her. Throughout the entire process, Kim was incredibly responsive and supportive. She answered every question I had and made sure I felt informed every step of the way. Her kindness and genuine care for her puppies really stood out, and it meant so much to us.
Now that our baby is home, we couldn’t be more grateful. He is a beautiful, happy, healthy puppy, and it’s clear that he came from a breeder who truly puts love into what she does. We are so thankful to Kim for bringing him into our lives!
Thank you,
Hi, my name is Lisa Smith and I live in Muscatine Iowa……
I came across Autumn Breeze 🍂 🐾 from a friend that followed her page and I watched her page for a while and I looked at it and I thought oh my gosh, this woman she just Has beautiful puppies and beautiful dogs and so I did a little bit of reading on her page and I had a pair of Doxies, and they lived to be seniors, and when their time became done on earth here, that was a very sad time in my life, and in between all of this, I had lost my father and my heart was even more broken,
So anyhow, I thought OK. I’m gonna go back to this page and I just can’t stand to be without a pair so I looked at what she had available and One he just melted my heart. I looked at the litter and I thought I just can’t have one. I need to have two I’ve always had a pair they need each other as much as I need them so I ended up with two from Kim. She went about the process very professionally, Application, photos of yourself, Fair Deposit Price, Etc….
She wants all of her Dogs to go to good homes all of her puppies, she wants them to be loved cared, for she wants them to live their best life because she gives them their best life before they come to us
If you can’t see that by watching her reels, her videos listening to her talk to them. It’s just simple. She’s wonderful with them.
Anyhow, long story short I ended up with two and my pair were born on August 23 of 2023 and my husband and I welcomed them into our home on December 3 of 2023 and we are just Smitten 🥰 They will be three in August and I have no idea where the time is gone to, but I will share a couple pictures with you of them and all I can say is if you want good pairing , well breeding , high-quality wonderful, beautiful beautiful Dogs she’s your ticket and remember you get what you paid for ♥️🐾♥️
We highly recommend Autumn Breeze Dachshunds to anyone looking for a long hair dachshund. Come August our dachshund will be 4 years old. Our son found the site online for long haired dachshund so we decided to see what they had. They screened us on our home situation and asked for pictures of place our pup would be in. At first I was discouraged that we wouldn’t get one cause of all questions that was asked but they finally showed us couple puppies that they had. We picked this little boy in picture, so happy they screened us cause I knew how much they thought of their puppies. We love him so much that we end up getting 2 more after him. Each is beautiful and as healthy as our first is. Autumn Breeze Dachshunds is the best. Michael and Sherry Hurt
I am so thankful that I found Autumn Breeze Longhaired Miniature Dachshunds on the web. From my first phone call with breeder, Kim Gooch, I knew I’d found a breeder who really was knowledgable and truly loved each and every dog in her kennel. Through Kim’s weekly pictures and awesome videos I felt like I “knew” my puppy before I even met her in person. Kim was extremely easy to communicate with and always ready to answer all of my many questions. Kim has also set up “family chat groups” to keep litter brothers and sisters in touch! The temperament of a puppy raised in an “in home” setting like Kim’s is far superior to what I had experienced in the past. I have continual conversations with Kim and know that I have formed a great friendship. Janet Baumhover

Kim,
Thank you so much for going above & beyond with our experience buying a puppy from you. We appreciate all the communication & information you have provided from the moment the litter was born, as well as the almost-daily updates/photos/videos of the pups growing up, and lastly, creating a group chat to stay in touch with the other pawrents. We are so grateful for all the quality time you spent with the puppies each and every day and sacrificing your home/personal space to raise the pups in a safe environment. It is very obvious that you put a lot of thought and care into your breeding practices & raising pups in loving home until they are handed off to their furever home! Thank you for putting your whole heart into this!
Much love & puppy licks, the pawrents of Panini.

I cannot say enough great things about Kim and Autumn Breeze Dachshunds! This was the first time I’ve ever gotten a puppy from a breeder and it was truly the best experience. Our little Motley is everything we could have wanted and more. The whole process was wonderful with Kim. We got almost daily updates of our baby and she did the cutest photo shoots whenever they turned another week old. She also made a group chat with all the litter mate parents which was so fun. She truly LOVES every single one of these babies and it shows. Her husband transported our baby to us and he was also extremely kind. Our puppy got to us happy, healthy, and playful. I would recommend Autumn Breeze Dachshunds to anyone!

Thank you so much Kim. You produce the most beautiful puppies. Don’t know how you do it but your program is amazing. After all of the time I spent researching hobby breeders you have the best program in the country, really. I looked high and low and yours was the most trustworthy, and happy feeling. So proud that I was able to get my dream girl from you.
We lost our beautiful Lucy unexpectedly due to a brain tumor and our world was rocked! For weeks we grieved and knew we still had lots of love to give. We have always rescued our dachshunds however this time I really wanted to use a breeder. The choice was obvious to both of us. We have been following Kim from Autumn Breeze for several years admiring her love and dedication to the breed. Just take a look at her pictures and you can feel the love and care she gives each one!💕 So in October of 2022 we reached out to her and initially asked about an adult dog but she didn’t have one retiring. So we set out to Mo to meet our black and cream girl Maize! Instant love for Kim and Maize!
We knew after a few months Maize needed a friend so back to Mo in March of 2023 to get our chocolate girl Reese! She is definitely our wild child!!!
Finally after seeing beautiful Liyza retiring we knew she belonged with us! I reached out once again to Kim and with both prayed about her! Thankfully Liyza is thriving with us and we couldn’t be happier!
Kim is absolutely the best breeder you will find! Her enthusiasm when discussing her dogs is like no other! You not only get a pet but a great friend as well!
Thank you so much Kim for all you do and we love you!!!

Kim with Autumn Breeze Dachshunds has developed the most supportive and informational program to adopt one of her puppies. Not only does she interview every applicant to ensure the puppy will be going to a safe and happy home, she also makes sure the adopters lifestyle fits for a dachshund. On top of this very careful screening process, she proceeds to take the time to educate the families on the current diet the puppies are on before they arrive to their new home and as to why she chooses to feed those products. Kim supplied photos of my own pup, Darla, every week after she was born and continued to grow. What a special experience to be able to see photos from every stage of my girls life. There is no other breeder that I have experienced who is as educated and caring as Kim. She has put in place the best practices, answered any and every question I had and still remains in touch as her puppy has moved on to its new home. Along with this information, her puppies have beautiful long coats, are extremely healthy and intelligent. When it came down to pick up, my flights had been switched around and Kim got to me with a 45 minute notice. She truly goes the extra mile from start to finish. Kim, I cannot thank you enough! I cannot wait to adopt another addition to my family from you. 🐾🤍
