Q. & A. with Marilyn
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to breed better dachshunds then the ones I was seeing locally. I wanted them to be more to bred standard with good personalties and healthy blood lines.
What makes your program special?
I know all my dogs and there relatives. I know the health of each of my blood lines and I am very careful about breeding to dogs I do not know about there relatives. I hand raise all of my puppies. They are born in my bedroom and move into the diningroom at 4 to 5 weeks, where they get to meet all new people coming and going.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
