Simms Ashuelot Kennel

Q. & A. with Trish

• Why did you start breeding?

  I got into breeding over 10 years ago when a friend gave me a yorkie and I decided I wanted to get into breeding dogs. Another friend had dachshunds and I grew to love them and wanted to start producing my own pups. I bought my own breeding pair and started learning. I have learned so much in the past few years about genetics and improving the dachshund breed. I would say I am still learning about them. They are such fun,smart,loyal little dogs.
