Our breeding commitment
We are miniature dachshund breeders (members of PIAA) and we are passionate about widening the gene pool for the betterment of our puppies and the dachshund breed as a whole.
We are equally passionate that all our dogs lead a happy, loved and fulfilled life as valued members of our family. Our breeding facility is now being built and we believe it will set a new benchmark in dog breeding in Australia (photos soon).
A critical factor of breeding sound animals is a wide gene pool. Accordingly, we NEVER inbreed or 'line breed' (breed relatives to relatives) and oppose this irresponsible practice.
Our breeding dogs include overseas dogs (genetics). For example, mum and dad on the right above are a registered Australian Champion Long Haired Mini Dachshund (rising 9 years old) and a Smooth Haired USA registered dog we imported (who carries a recessive gene for long hair). They produced the outstanding pups on the left: two silver dappled Smooths and one black Long Haired. Arguably these pups have the widest genetic mix in Australia resulting in high health, beautiful little dachshunds destined for loving pet homes.
Our dogs are DNA tested for the hereditary disease PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) known to occur in mini long haired dachshunds. They are certified 'Clear' of this disease, meaning they neither have the disease nor carry the disease, so it is impossible for any of their progeny to develop PRA at any age.
Like humans or any other species, no one can guarantee a dog will never get an illness during its life. But what can be said is that sound breeding practices set them off to a good start.
We are committed to improving the mini dachshund breed through responsible breeding and delivering the public healthy, happy pets.
