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.

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.

About the Breeder
A little about us
I have been actively involved in the dog world for over 30 years, primarily concentrating on breeding and exhibiting Standard Long-Haired Dachshunds. In recent years, I became the owner and exhibitor of an Afghan Hound and currently show ‘Rim’ alongside my Long-Haired Dachshund team.
Why we got involved in breeding
My parents originally involved as a young girl, my passion for showing and breeding my beautiful dogs has just grown stronger and stronger over the years.
Our special touch
I like to believe is it a number of things, breeding for soundness and confirmation ( my dogs are fit for purpose), outstanding temperaments and care in how my dogs are raised and fed.
