Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are socialised in our home with our adult dachshunds and have contact with children and other adults as they age. We socialise with toys, noises and textures from a young age so they’re confident as they enter the big wide world!
Health
Our puppies are microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and on top quality puppy food.
Home environment
We live in a house with a large backyard near the beach. We have adults and children around the house.
Included with our puppies
Our puppies receive a pack when they join their new families. This pack includes all of their health and litter records, their current food, their favourite toy or blankie, as well as an assortment of helpful items to help them settle into their new homes.

- 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.

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
Having loved dachshunds since a child and grown up on property with my vet and equine therapy sisters, I was always going to be besotted by these little sausages!
