About Tina
I love dogs, especially the dachshund breed. They are extremely close to my heart and have had ties with my family for generations. I can't imagine a dachshund not owning me!
What makes Tina’s program special
I really invest a lot of time searching for the right dogs to become part of our family. We do not hesitate to travel several states over in pursuit of the right dog for our home and improve upon our gene pool. Health, temperament and good lines like deep full chests and long ears, short legs, and healthy coats are some of the things I look at when considering a planned breeding.
