Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Puppies are socialised with adults, kids and other animals within the household including other dachies, a cat and even chickens! We all pick up the puppies, pat and cuddle them; as well as trim their nails and touch their snout, so they get used to be touched and cuddled on a regular basis. They get exposed to a…
Health
All of our breeding dogs get vet checked and assessed for suitability to breed. Our dogs will have their hips and spines X-Rayed; furthermore, we perform a full-breed DNA profile from Orivet as well as DNA testing for dapple/merle traits (from Paw Prints Genetics). Prospective buyers are welcome to cite our health…

Additional Tests

- 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.

I have always had dogs since I can remember, having grown up with German Shepherds as well as Italian Greyhounds, Foxies and Labradors. Elkonie has been…
Why we got involved in breeding
I have bred German Shepherds over 20 years ago, and now that I have fallen in love with Miniature Dachshunds, I want to share that back with other people and provide those that want a dachshund in their life with the opportunity to own a healthy, well-adjusted miniature dachshund.
Our special touch
I have over 20 years of experience in breeding dogs, and I use that experience plus my love for dachshunds to breed quality mini dachies. I go above and beyond in ensuring the home environment for my dogs and puppies is a loving one and I thoroughly health and DNA test our breeding dogs to ensure they are fit to…
