A little information about us.
About The Aiello's
Aiello's Long Haired Dachshunds
We are Frank and Marcia Aiello. We live in a small rural town, in the middle of no mans land.
We drive at least 45 minutes on the highway to any bigger stores (like Walmart or Kmart or
Kohl's, those are the choices), but we love it. We're surrounded by trees, we have deer and
turkey, and occasionally a black bear, or red fox stroll through our yard. We see Bald
eagles, and Elk. Elk are as big as a horse, have one of those jump out in front of your car,
WOW~!!
We've been married 34 years, have 3 grown children, all moved out, all married and have 2
grandson's, and 1 granddaughter. Marcia is a Registered Nurse and works in the Intensive
Care Unit. She loves it. Frank is retired and he takes care of all the fur-kids while Marcia is
at work. We share the fun on other days :)
Our first dachshund was our 1st anniversary gift to each other, and we both wanted to
breed and show. Frank had a dachshund as a teen, and loved the breed. He quickly had
Marcia hooked too. Then the children started coming, and we never did any of those things
we dreamed of back then. Children first, always. After the kids were all moved out we had
that empty next syndrome, so we started filling the void with dachshunds. Finally we could
pursue our dream!
We've enjoyed the experience, and have loved having all our dachshunds, but the time has
come for us to retire from breeding. We've debated this decision for several months, it isn't
easy. Of course we will keep a couple, and I've removed them from the website to keep it
easy for those looking for a new pet not to get confused. Our reasons are our own, so
please don't ask. This is hard for us, but it's time.
