I was given my first ever dog, a red SWHD by a very dear friend who (it always makes me sad to say this) is no longer with us. Nina was a breeder of show dogs for 40odd years, mostly famous for her Standard Poodles, then Dachshunds. Nina’s Leibling bloodline ended 2021 with just one last puppy born to Diva, the cryogenic son of Storming Norman. She fondly named the pup Simon after her husband who was the love of her life.
I couldn’t wait for Diva to deliver, I was to have one of the pups, a play mate for Wilma. Diva had had a puzzling pregnancy, first weeks never sure if she was expecting, when confirmed it was thought she would have a small litter but she fooled us, delivering one single very health male pup. Of course this pup was very special, I could not have brought Simon on to his full potential, he had Stormin Norman genes to become as famous as his father, in the right hands

I had an underlying health condition, when I didn’t recover from COVID in 2019, It was diagnosed in 2020, very poorly until 2022, recovered slowly from operation, but never quite the same. My girl Wilma was a godsend, so gentle, loving and funny. We were.both missing Nina, and the other dogs,, we use to visit almost every day, Wilma loved to be with her friends. Knowing of Nina’s health, when she felt it was time, the dogs would come live with me, sadly I wasn’t well enough at that time, I was heartbroken, I had grown so very close to them all, it was heartbreaking.
They all found loving homes, I am so great full to those who took them in.
I cannot find the details of where each dog went, a lot has happened, one being my husband kept everything on computer, he was diagnosed with Dementia in 2021, the first skill he lost was using his computer, he never kept written records, no matter how we tried we could never get in to open files.

I know this is very long, I wanted to give a back ground of why my search is so important to me. Wilma was with me every minute of every day when I wasn’t in hospital. She loved my husband, a mourned for weeks when he died. 
Two month ago Wilma joined my husband. We were together at home when she just lay down as she did when she went to sleep.
I am utterly heart broken, I cannot accept she is no longer with me,I still feel she  is around, expecting her to bound into the room or come running up the garden, I sometimes think I saw her out of the corner of my eye, each time  those few second of the normality of her being here just makes her loss harder to bare.

The point of me writing this story of Nina and Wilma is I am praying someone has a red Leibling Dachshund who is going to have a litter, or someone who needs to rehome a Leibling related pet. I would love to hear from anyone who knew Nina, and/or has a Leibling related dog, especially, Simon, Paddy, and Diva.

Thank you for reading this, I look forward to hearing from those who may be able to help me.
