  Apperwild

Ed has been actively involved in the sport of purebred dogs since 1968. His first purebred was a Standard Smooth Dachshund - one visit to a dog show and he was hooked. In short order a love affair with the Basset Hound began. Numerous Champions were produced under the "Apperwild" prefix. English Cocker Spaniels, Beagles and a Scottish Terrier have been raised at one time or another. 35 years later a return to the Dachshund has occurred with Miniature Wirehaired.
