My introduction to the sport of purebred dogs began with Irish Setters, but that quickly changed in 1999 with the addition of a black and tan puppy bitch purchased from Dachshire Kennels. Ch. Dachshire Last Laugh ROMO (pictured right) became our foundation bitch and the cornerstone of Insight Dachshunds.

My goal has been simple: to produce healthy companions with the same sweet, loving temperments that attracted me to this versatile breed. At the same time, hoping for an occasional puppy who could successfully compete at specialties and in turn produce the traits that I value.

Over the past 10 years I've been fortunate to have produced multiple Best in Show, BISS and group winners. None of this could have been accomplished without the help of wonderful friends who either shared their stud dogs or campaigned our dogs. They have been a vital key to our success, and a simple thank you just doesn't seem to be enough.
