Q. & A. with Carin & Derrick
Why did you start breeding?
I've always loved animals. I've worked with dolphins, Hawks, and I have been a rehabber for orphaned animals that are hurt or young with animals for the Indiana DNR. I've always had critters or kids under foot. I wanted to breed dachshunds because they are so different from other dogs. If you've owned a dachshund, you know what I'm talking about. Experiencing birth to their furever home is so rewarding to me.
