Additional Tests

Little Paws miniature dachshund conducts 3 additional tests available for the Miniature Dachshund.

: 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.

About the Breeder

A little about us

Hi, I'm Mel, owner and founder of Little Paws Big Hearts. Little Paws are licensed and registered breeders in SE QLD. We live on a beautiful 15 acre property surrounded by lovely fauna and wildlife.

Why we got involved in breeding

We started breeding with our two little cavoodle girls. After doing all the genetic and temperament testing, we wanted to give others a chance to have a puppy from our beautiful girls. I loved every part of the whole experience that we wanted to expand from there. And here we are today.

Our special touch

We want to provide all our puppies with a happy and loving forever home, therefore we carefully screen and interview all our puppy buyers. All our puppy buyers can be assured that our pups go home health checked (as well as the parents health and DNA checked too!) and well-socialised for a big and joyful adventure…
