To say that we are merely proud of these achievements would be a huge understatement. Souvie is a remarkable dog. With Bob as his handler they made a compelling team. At the time of his retirement in 2006, Souvie was the top winning miniature longhaired Dachshund in the history of the breed. We are so fortunate to have Bob and Jean in our lives
