| I have been involved with showing and raising AKC registered dogs since the age of four when I was old enough to take our rough collies into the show ring. Since then, I have had many experiences with rearing litters, selecting show potential puppies, training puppies for show, obedience and as "hearing ear" dogs. I currently train and exhibit my companions in conformation, obedience, drafting and herding; however, first and foremost, my dogs are my house companions. I breed for quality and not quantity- breeding for the "ideal" Bernese and Dachshund. Health, longevity, temperament and breed "type" are all important traits. I sell my companion puppies with spay/neuter contracts only- mentoring only a few "hopeful" breeders along the way. I encourage potential puppy owners to research their desired breed, contact as many breeders as possible and get to "know your breeder". Bringing a new puppy into your family is a life-long commitment; one that I will assist you with, if you so desire a CAR-RAE puppy. I am no longer breeding dachshunds, though I share my home with my sweet girl, "Candy", 13 years young. - Mary Dowski |
