I got Jesse from a vacuum sales man when she was 2, she was also pregnant when we got her so thats how we ended up with Tia. The guy bred Jesse with a very well bred Dachshund and he was a very good looking dog but it wasn't the right match for Jess because Tia doesn't look really have a normal doxie appearance, thats okay though. We got Echo from the shelter when she was 6 weeks old, and we got Tango from my moms friend/chiropractor.
