About Mary

I have always been an animal lover, but growing up, we weren't permitted to have pets. I imagine some of that restriction was our poor economics. As an adult, I was always excited to encounter the animals of friends when visiting them. I wanted a pet and fell in love with the miniature dachshund and bought the first puppy. From that loving experience, I began reaching out to friends and finding house and pet sitting opportunities. My love for a variety of different pets grew and I was even caring for lizards, fish and multiple pets. 20 years ago, we started carefully breeding our miniature dachshunds after having the best male and female that could. We were so concerned about only creating one litter every other breeding cycle and became very selective about who we allowed to adopt our sweet babies. This was such a precious endeavor. There were a few special needs families that were sent to us and we ended up giving each of them a free pup. It was a joyful time.
