What Makes Us Standout

  1. Genetic Screening:
    As a responsible dachshund breeder, I screen the parent dogs for genetic health conditions common in the breed, using genetic testing and x-rays. I make sure to obtain health clearances from organizations like the OFA and CERF to verify the parents are free of any issues.
  2. Selective Breeding:
    When it comes to breeding, I am very selective about which dogs I choose to breed together. I prioritize health, temperament, and conformity to the breed standard. I would never breed dogs that exhibit known genetic defects or unhealthy traits.
  3. Socialization and Enrichment:
    “Socializing and enriching the puppies from a young age is also crucial. I provide extensive socialization so the puppies grow up to be well-adjusted, confident, and have good temperaments.
  4. Veterinary Care:
    Working closely with my veterinarian is another key part of my process. The puppies receive all their necessary vaccinations, deworming, and thorough veterinary checkups before they go to their new homes.
  5. Transparency and Support:
    Transparency is extremely important to me. I’m upfront about the health and lineage of my dachshund puppies so new owners can have peace of mind. I also provide new owners with a health guarantee and am always available to offer advice and support.

Selecting Our Breeding Dogs

  1. Genetic Screening:

    • I screen the parent dogs extensively for any genetic health conditions that are common in the dachshund breed, such as intervertebral disc disease, hip and elbow dysplasia, and von Willebrand’s disease. This involves conducting genetic testing as well as getting the necessary health clearances from organizations like the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF).

  2. Conformity to Breed Standard:

    • When selecting breeding dogs, I place a strong emphasis on ensuring they conform to the breed standard set by the American Kennel Club (AKC). This means evaluating factors like the dogs’ size, body structure, coat, and overall appearance to make sure they are representative of the dachshund breed.

  3. Temperament Evaluation:

    • Temperament is extremely important to me, so I carefully evaluate the parent dogs’ temperaments through obedience trials, socialization tests, and close observation. I want to ensure the dogs have the confident, friendly, and alert temperament that is characteristic of well-bred dachshunds.

  4. Health History Review:

    • I thoroughly review the health history of any potential breeding dogs, looking for any signs of genetic disorders or underlying health issues in the dogs themselves as well as their lineage. This helps me make informed decisions about which dogs to include in my breeding program.

  5. Veterinary Consultations:

    • Working closely with my veterinarian is essential. I consult with them regularly to discuss the health and wellness of my breeding stock, get their professional opinions, and ensure I am following all best practices for dog breeding.

By taking these comprehensive steps, reputable dachshund breeders like myself can help minimize the risk of passing on genetic health problems and produce puppies that are not only physically sound, but also have the ideal temperament and breed characteristics that make dachshunds such wonderful companion dogs.
