Behaviour and socialisation

Our puppies are introduced to: • Children and adults of all ages…
Health
At Delightful Dachshunds, the health and wellbeing of our dogs and puppies is our highest priority. All of our breeding dogs are carefully selected for excellent health, sound structure, and temperament. We conduct full DNA testing on our breeding dogs to screen for hereditary conditions common in dachshunds,…

We are located on a beautiful 10-acre property in the Scenic Rim, QLD, where our dogs and puppies are raised in a calm, spacious, and enriching environment. Our home is shared with other animals including a horse, cats, and other friendly dogs, which helps our puppies grow up well-socialised and confident around a…

Each of our puppies goes home with a carefully curated puppy pack designed to help them settle in comfortably and give new owners everything they need to get started. Our packs include: • A folder with all vet paperwork (vaccination record, microchip details, and worming schedule) • A copy of our Puppy Care Guide…

Additional Tests
Delightful Dachshunds SEQ 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.
