that loves to swim as much as she does...she goes right off into the lake at my mom's,
I have to watch her or she would swim out over my head. We built a ramp for her and Bailey to climb up to get on our bed, if I move it into the bathroom and place it on the edge of the garden tub..she dives right in the bubble bath...
no more hot baths for a while..."

She tries to keep up with him in the backyard. It is just hysterical to see her
hopping through the grass trying to chase him! Her other brother (my 12 year

GARY'S UPDATE - APRIL 2008 "I just got back from puppy kindergarden with Windi. She did great today! She got out with the big puppies and played with them. The first week she sat between my legs. Today she was going to humans and puppies to make contact. She did great with walking on a leash and we started trying to learn how to heel. We even had boards for them to cross over. Windi never stopped but went right over them. Last week she went thru a tunnel with me on the other end. These lessons are to help them not be afraid of new things. Oh yes Windi is the teacher's pet. Donna our instructor always holds Windi and fusses over her. I have taken several dogs to Donna's obedience classes. I respect her methods and great attitude with humans and dogs. Windi is getting along with my other dogs but I am still very careful with her around them. She is learning how to fit into the pack. We have three more classes in puppy kindergarden. I plan on starting the beginners obedience class very soon after this. I hope to have Windi ready for this Fall for the St Jude Classic Dog Show. They will have a Good Dog Citizens class and there will be regular obedience classes as well. I just can't wait til then. That's all for now. I will write more later and try to send some pictures. Thanks again for such a wonderful puppy!" - Gary and Windi Windi - the daughter of Packer and Mocha - won her first point at the Southaven, MS show on July 11th! Congratulations Windi & Gary! Cathy & "Honey" Honey Pie ("Beautiful of Happy Land JP") is spreading joy as a "therapy dog" at Lambeth House Continuing Care Retirement Community in New Orleans. ** Read Honey's Story ** CATHY'S UPDATES "I took Honey to Chateau de Notre Dame, a nursing home in N.O. that my company "adopted" for volunteer visits. I really wish you could see how their little faces light up when I walk in with Honey. EVERYONE wanted to pet her, most of the ladies grabbed her little face and gave her kisses, they all said how they wished they could keep her, and they have labeled her the "most elegant dog" they had ever seen. So once again her beautiful nature struck home with seniors that can no longer care for pets (oh, and the family members that were there visiting fell in love with her too). No one there had ever heard of a mini long-haired dachshund!!" - Cathy B., October 6, 2008 "Latest update -- we went to Chateau de Notre Dame nursing home yesterday. A very attractive gentleman immediately stated that she looked like Greta Garbo, then held her and sang love songs from the 1940's to her ('You Made Me Love You, I Didn't Want to Do It, I Didn't Want to Do It.....')" - Cathy B., October 27, 2008 "Here she is in her holiday splendor as she spends time visiting Senior residents at the newly opened Sunrise Assisted Living community in Metairie, LA." - Cathy B., February 5, 2009   Honey spreads joy as a therapy dog at the Sunrise Assisted Living community in Metairie, LA (March 2009) Honey takes a nap...with her toys!

Give Ginger a big hug from me." - Sharon Ginger at 2 1/2 months, hanging out and getting along with her new family!

She is smart and loves to train." - Sharon Ginger at 7 1/2 months. Says Sharon: "Her hair is getting long now!" Ginger at 2 1/2 years SHARON'S UPDATE - JUNE 2009 "I thought you might like to see Ginger Lu now. She is a little big because she is pregnant now and due the first week of July. She is really a beautiful dog. She is ornery but amusing. She still loves to get things and run from us. That is her game! I still look at your website and think you have nice pups." - Sharon

He'll go back on the 7th for his next set of shots. Thank you so much for answering all of my questions and helping us find such a great dog!" - AND - "I just wanted to give you an update on Nash, from Mocha and Packer's January litter. He went on his first therapy visit last night and saw the children at OLOL Children's Unit. He was the perfect gentleman and got lots of oohs and aahs. At seven months he seemed like an old pro...he was perfectly content to sit with the patients in their beds and on laps. He has to be the most laid back dachshund I've ever had. Thanks so much for making 'temperament' a part of your breeding practice." - Stephanie J., Instructor, LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, Baton Rouge, LA (pictured below) Stephanie Has Found Nash a New Companion!

Thank you sooo much for a wonderful dog!" - Brittany N. of Hammond, LA "...you have the most beautiful dogs of any breeder I have seen..." - Sharon of Charles County, MD "I just wanted to let you know that the puppies are doing fine and love their new home. We've named the Red Sable Willie and the Black & Tan Otto. Otto is definitely a mamma's boy and Willie is a rascal. They are just two peas in a pod and do everything together. I'm glad that I got them both so they have someone to play with when we're at work. Thanks again." - Odette & Adam
