Additional Tests
A Country Dachshund conducts 4 additional tests available for the Miniature Dachshund.
- Genetic Test
Mucopolysaccharidosis is a genetic lysosomal storage disease that can cause various problems including stunted growth and bone deformities. There are a few different variants of this disease that have been identified in different breeds. For many breeds there are DNA tests available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying the condition.
- Genetic Test
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a neurodegenerative disorder found in many breeds of dog. 7 varieties have been identified so far, affecting different breeds. There are DNA tests for each type, to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as ‘brittle bone disease’, is an inherited disease in both humans and animals, causing bone fragility and fracturing. As it is a genetic disease, breeding parents can be tested to ensure it is not passed onto their puppies.
- Genetic Test
Sarcoglycan Deficient Muscular Dystrophy (SDMD) is a genetic disease causing a stiff gait, exercise intolerance and difficulty swallowing in young Miniature Dachshunds. There is now a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.

About the Breeder
A little about us
Welcome to A Country Dachshund where we specialise in breeding for health, temperament and good looks. I have breeding dogs since childhood when our family bred kelpies and border collies. Around 15 years ago I fell in love with the quirky nature of dachshunds. I established our breeding lines approx 9 years ago.
Why we got involved in breeding
I fall in love with every single litter we have and I love seeing the joy on peoples faces when they get to take their bundle of love home. I also love keeping up with their antics via social media or when families send us messages or pics.
Our special touch
Dachshunds have big personalities and socialisation with other animals, kids and noises are key from an early age. We focus on building well socialised puppies.
