We've come a long way in a relatively short time.
I would like to acknowledge the support of family and friends who have helped to bring us this far.
Ronald McLean My dad, now only with us in spirit. He taught me to love and respect all "the wee dachshunds."
Lucy Granowicz
The breeder of my foundation stock in smooths. She took a big chance entrusting
two such nice puppies with a new comer. Hope she's been pleased with what we've done with the lines.
Emily Mustari Emily Mustari's greatest love was her "Bullies." An excellent handler and trainer,
Emily taught many new comers to the dog show world to handle their own dogs.
Emily was a true friend and dog enthusiast. She died preparing to go to a show. She is greatly missed.
Hannelore Heller
Everyone knows Hannelore Heller! She's helped to put that last major on three of our
dogs and has become a friend in the process. I'm so lucky to have met her and to have benefitted from her
knowledge and experience.
Jim and Patty Batts
Jim and Patty Batts have been good friends and have acted as mentors along the way.
I'm very grateful for all the help and encouragement they've given.
