He was a gift from my parents, primarily my mom. I travelled about 1 1/2 hours to Gaffney SC to pick him up from a breeder I found from Read more... )

So I've been spending the last week actively trolling puppyfind.com and other various sites for my dauschund since my dear beloved Mama wants to get one for me as my birthday gift this year. So far my favorite find has been this one (Isn't she darling!) in Cary, NC 2 1/2 hrs away. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that's she's still available and I'm ( Read more... )
