More: Big Sur came to us because he did not make it in the conformation ring . We formed a loving bond and started doing agility together. He became the #1 dachshund in the country for many years. He was extremely athletic and fast. His career ended when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2018. We opted for surgery. He now gets to do whatever he wants which includes walks and hikes and pet dog therapy. He is my hero and my love. Thank you very much. Beth and Big Sur
