Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised in the comfort of our home, where they are showered with love and attention from the moment they’re born. Handled frequently from birth, each puppy is given the best start in life, helping them to develop a strong bond with humans and adapt easily to their future families. From the moment…
Health
At Aroha Hounds, the health of our puppies is our top priority. We DNA test all our breeding dogs and puppies to ensure they are genetically sound. Additionally, all dogs in our care follow a strict flea, tick, and worming program throughout their lives, ensuring they stay healthy and protected. This commitment to…
Home environment
Our puppies are raised in a loving, family-oriented environment, with just two humans and six other dogs, along with two cats. This small, bustling household ensures that each puppy receives plenty of socialisation and individual attention, growing up in a safe, comfortable space surrounded by both people and pets.…
Included with our puppies
When you bring one of our puppies home, they’ll be all set with their 6 week , 10 week worming treatment program, and microchip for extra peace of mind. Plus, we’ll send them off with a personalised puppy pack full of goodies, including all the important paperwork, tasty treats, fun toys, and yummy food to help them…

- 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.
