ABOUT US
As a little girl born and raised in Florida by my grandparents, my days were
filled with new, animal experiences with, cats, dogs, ducks, lizards, hamsters,
and so on.  My grandmother taught me the values of loving animals and
particularly her passion for the dachshund breed throughout my childhood.
molding the foundation of who I would later become.

I married Brian, my high school sweetheart, shortly following my completion
of high school, and we soon thereafter also purchased our current home. My
husband understood, supported, and shared my inherited love for animals and
dachshunds. We then knew that it was the appropriate time to buy a
dachshund of our own, and we actually purchased two close together. For us,
we could continue with my love and passions, but for my grandmother, she
could rekindle what had felt like a lost dachshund dream for so many years.

My grandmother moved in with us around the same time that we were having
our child, Bailey. She found comfort in our two dachshunds; therefore,
teaching us just how wonderful of a breed that the dachshund is. We were
hooked, it was a family affair, and we knew that we wanted to begin breeding
ourselves. After months of research, we finally found the beginning of our
stock and put together our breeding plan for the future. My grandmother later
feel ill, and saw herself within all of us, and was filled with joy throughout the
final days of her life. She is now deceased (see our In Loving Memories page),
but her unsurpassed amount of love is in each of my dogs, me, my husband of
now 9 years, and my now 6 year old son.

Bailey has proven himself to be a further evolution of who I am growing into,
but more importantly who I once was as a child. I continue to mold closer to
the lady that my grandmother was by passing on her teachings, and Bailey has
the same heart that I had at his age. He would live in the puppy room if I let
him, but I obviously don’t. He has begun his own traditions such as he always
gives each puppy a good-bye hug and kiss before they leave, when school is in
session he reunites with them when he gets home, and during summer break he
will even chooses to sleep in the puppy room.  He also sleeps with three of his
own adult dogs every night. To see his behavior, is more support than anyone
could ever wish for.

I truly can not say enough about the support system that has made, and
continues to make Crystal’s Dachshund Crossing what is today; a
grandmother’s spirit within 3 family generations, a vet that is there for me 24
hours a day, 2 cats, and 30+ dachshunds, and not to mention the many friends
I have encountered along the way.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
Thank you to everyone that has supported us and continues to do so...

I would like to add a special thank you to my wonderful husband Brian.
With out his support, I would not be able to do what I truly love.
I am so thankful that he supports any and all decisions.
Thank you Honey, I love you.
