I am new (today) to this forum and was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. I am starting to research the dachshund breed as their disposition would match our family well. I would like to buy an AKC registered dog, but 1 question I have is does it have to be from a champion line in order to show or show well? Do you have to have a handler? The reason I ask this is one of my son's is an avid dog lover and would like the opportunity to train and show a dog. I think it would be a great experience for dedication, hard work and persistence on my son's part and lots of love and attention as well as the above on the dog's part. To me is a win win. Any advice, direction, or even reputable breeder names would be great! I reside in Northeast Ohio, but am willing to travel to meet the breeder/ dog. Thanks!
