Each of my kids holds a very special place in my heart!  Please take a few moments and visit their individual pages and experience a little bit of the joy they each bring to my life.  Click on a picture to visit each page.
Maizie is 14 years old and my little heart dog.  I went to Texas in April 2006 and brought Maizie home from her darling breeder Neva.  Neva and I feel that Maizie was meant to be mine from the get-go.  She's a spirited funny little girl who brings much joy to my life and the lives of  many others.  Maizie is my Diabetic Alert dog, though she's now reitred from public access work due to her age.  She came by this amazing ability naturally.  I was told by Dogs 4 Diabetics that approximately 1 in 1500 dogs do this without special scent training (but that's no doubt a conservative number, as many people don't report it).  Maizie is one amazing little girl, one of the elite!
Georgie is my little cream puff and such a love!  With the addition of this sweet little fella to the family I'm thrilled I was finally able to see what had been a life long dream to show these wonderful little hounds come to fruition.  Georgie earned his Canine Good Citizen title at 9 mths old and is my first and only AKC Champion.  Georgie is getting up there in age, he's almost 13!  Georgie came from Wide Meadow Dachshunds.  Thanks Marta & Ed!
Joanie is s a sweet little black & cream mini who I've dubbed my little "fruit loop"!  This darling little hound has so much energy & enthusiasm! Joanie is 11 now. She's been a joy to have in the family!  Joanie came to me from Tracy Grenda of Grendox.  Thanks Tracy!
Ecclesiastes 3: 19-21
19 Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath ; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?" 
Dannie is a very special little chocolate & cream double dapple boy.  Dannie is deaf and sight impaired.  Those gorgeous baby blues! ... they're pretty, vision and hearing issues are very common with the lethal double dapple gene.  Dannie and I communicate through sign language.  He's an amazingly smart little guy!  Dannie is a very special gift also from Wide Meadow Dachshunds.
Zeke is my current guide dog from The Seeing Eye.  We met and trained together in October 2018.  He's an awesome boy, energetic and full of piss and vinegar!  He brings a lot of joy to this house!
