I started showing when I was 5 & continued for 12yrs doing well as a junior handler until my mother passed away in 1987.
I also trained as a professional groomer and continued this until my 1st daughter came a long in 1991.
After my mum passed away I hadn't stepped into the show ring for 32yrs. However, my 1st love has always been Standard Wirehair Dachshunds, as I had shown them for my mum & her friends Eric Gross & Liz Beydon. My 1st wire was a bitch puppy from Liz & Eric (Brockbane Black Peppermint) who was sadly run over at a young age. Since then I had promised myself I would again own and show standard wire haired dachshunds and in 2018 bought Noodles (Weinacht Larch at Drakkina).
Noodles & I have learnt together (its amazing how much you forget in 30+ years!)and we have done well, with him gaining his JW in Nov 2019. He's consistently been placed well in both championship & open shows with our best day being at Southern Counties Champ show 2019 where he took best puppy in breed & best special beginner, going on to take group 2 in special beginner hound group.
NOODLES IS AVAILABLE AT STUD TO KC REGISTERED BITCHES ONLY
Mallow has only just started her showing career due to Covid, but has already matched her dad by taking Best Special Beginner in Breed & Group 2 at Southern Counties.
