Description: Marna's Menagerie
Copyright © 1962-2025 Marna Kazmaier What on earth is a Menagerie? I get that question all the time... it means "collection of animals". I have had animals all of my life and not just a dog or a cat, but many types of animals all at once. When I was a kid and people visited us they would say "Wow, you have a lot of animals". My mother would tell them "Oh, that's Marna's Menagerie", and so the name stuck. Marna is my given name.
I have had many types of animals and taught tricks to many of them, chickens, a duck, dogs, cats, horses, a guinea pig, parakeets, a cockatiel, goats, ponies are some I have taught tricks to over the years... I love training animals. I have trained sled dogs and lead dogs from a book, and again with books have broke horses to ride. I have had more types of animals then I can probably remember; dogs, horses and parakeets are my favorites.
I am married to Deron Kazmaier who is, among many things, a Mid-Distance Sled Dog Racer. His kennel name was/is DogStar Kennel www.dogstarkennel.com . Deron own, trains, run, races and raises AKC Seppala line Siberian Huskies www.seppalanews.com . The joke at our house is that I married the guy with all the dogs and he married the harness maker.
