We started in 1989 from Dachshunds that were raised as indoor pets. Along the way came my own children. Teaching my children the miracle of life and responsibly of having a pet was very important. There are many challenges to raising dogs. We stay at home when there is a puppy birthing or to make sure the puppies are okay for the first 2 weeks of life. Nervous moms, afterbirth and playful puppies is more than most can handle.
