Welcome to "Miles of
Dachshunds" where our love for these
little dogs goes on for miles and miles and
miles.....
Let me introduce myself, my name is Victoria
Miles but my friends
all call me Vickie. I don't think I will ever
grow into the name Victoria, it seems to regal
to me!! My husbands name is Rodney (Rod) and
we met in 1999 when introduced in a match making
scheme by mutual friends. I was a single mother
of three teenagers, Corey, my oldest son, Ryan,
my middle son and Bethany my daughter. Added
to this was a mixed breed bear of a dog named
Dusty, a red dachshund named Penny and a cat
named Annabelle. Rod was also a single father
with two teenage sons, Justin and Brandon.
Fall of 2000 we decided to become a permanent
family purchasing
a home in Spring Creek, PA.
Integrating Rod and his Sons into our
menagerie wasn't much of a feet even though
they didn't have any pets of their own. So that
is the beginning of our story together. In 2001
we added a male dapple dachshund named Logan
who became Rod's shadow and out side helper.
When ever Rod needed a hole dug, a rabbit chased
or a co-pilot in the truck, Logan was his right
hand man. After that we added Lexi, our black
and tan girl, next came Gretta, the long haired
chocolate and tan who believes she is the queen.
The list goes on and on, with each one adding
their own personalities to our family. People
would see us out walking the dogs and ask if
we bred them. That became my passion for reading
and learning all I could about these courageous,
sometimes stubborn but always loving little
dogs.
Now fifteen dogs and numerous litters
later we are one BIG happy family! Of course
our kids blame it on the empty nest syndrome
but I just tell them that the dogs don't ask
for money, a car or a college education, their
love is unconditional with no keys attached!!!
A few bones, maybe!!!
