More about Tara
Why Tara started breeding
I was raised with a dachshund in my home as little girl and my love for the breed took off from there. Can't imagine a day without my doxies in my life. My main goal is to raise the breed with a compassionate hand, preserve, and breed for better. All my pups reside with me in my home as a part of the family.
