The good news is that there have been a couple of standard longhaired litters born overseas this spring that hold a lot of interest for me. I am grateful that there still are a number of breeders who think "dachshund" means much more than "show dog" and remember it in their breeding decisions! (You all know who you are.) In that vein I extend deepest thanks to the Knolls for their willingness to have pups this summer even though it did not work out that way this time.
