A LITTLE ABOUT US. I SHOWED AS A JUNIOR HANDLER , 4-H AS DID MY SISTER WE HAD DIFFERENT BREEDS, I HAD ENGLISH SETTER MY SISTER HAD COCKER SPANIEL AND THEN AFGHAN.  MY MOM USE TO RAISE SHOW AND TRAIN GREAT DANES. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD ATLEAST ONE DOG OVER THE YEARS  MAINLY SPORTING BREEDS OR BIG BREED DOG. IT TOOK ME 5 YEARS AFTER LOSTING MY FIRST DACHSHUND SHE WAS ONE OF THE SPECIAL ONES BEFORE I STARTED LOOKING FOR ANOTHER DACHSHUND. I STUDY ALL THE PEDIGREES OF DACHSHUNDS I LIKED, READ LOTS OF BOOKS, WENT TO SHOWS, SUBSCRIPTED THE DCA AND NMDC NEWSLETTERS PROBABLY VISIT EVERY  WEBSITE OF ANY DACHSHUND BREEDERS. MY GETCHEN WAS A RED MINI SMOOTH  I REALLY LIKED STANDARD LONGS BUT I ENDED UP GETTING BANJO A BLACK TAN MINI WIRE AND I WAS HOOKED ON WIRES.
