My love of wirehaired dachshunds began in 1980 with my foundation bitch, Ch. Solo’s Dagmar at Daybreak W. Since then I have bred and owned multiple conformation champions with the goal to produce sound dogs with elegance and outstanding temperaments that excel in the show ring and as loving companions. Accomplishments of note include:
We live in the beautiful countryside of Central Ohio where my dogs are raised in my home, not in a kennel.

I am a Board Member of the Central Ohio Dachshund Club, member of the Dachshund Club of America and member of the Mid Ohio Owner Handlers Association.
