Over the years we have had and loved many different dogs. Obviously my heart belongs to the Cocker Spaniel, but there are other breeds that have a special meaning too. As a young girl in the 1960’s I was desperate to have a dog of my own. My parents were not so keen and had to be convinced! For hours everyday I would play with my imaginary puppy. His collar and lead ( a plastic ring and a length of string) were used to take him on walks and I spent hours brushing, and talking to him as well as throwing a ball for him to ’fetch’. Eventually mum, seriously concerned about my sanity, talked dad into taking us to find a puppy! We went to a rather large kennels , not the sort of place I would buy a puppy from now, and I remember walking along the row of kennels and peering out were all their little faces. It was dad who chose the little black/tan miniature long haired Dachshund that we named Judy. I later learned that she was the ’runt of the litter’ and was half price! Judy became my best friend for the next 7 years, and in all honesty was very much loved by my parents too. We have many old pictures and cine films of Judy and I which are dusted off every now and then at family reunions! So, when a friend told me that his sister and her husband were going into the pub trade and were unable to take their Daxies with them, I decided that I could find a place for them here. So, INKUM the Dachshunds, 3 mini longs have joined our happy throng. Two young sisters, a black/tan called Bramble and a shaded Cream called Marge along with a beautiful nine year old shaded Cream dog called Basil and that is how I have come to enjoy the whole Dachshund experience second time around.
We are pleased to announce all the puppies have found loving homes asides Katie who will be staying here with us.
