Hi, I'm Jess A.
Ohana means family and that’s exactly what our dachshunds are! They’re our family. Our puppies are raised in our home and around us. We were the first to bring cream dachshunds to Western Australia. Our breeding dogs are DNA tested and imported, or from imported lines, to ensure the most incredible temperament and…

Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
We use the Breeders Bootcamp socialisation program that starts with early neurological stimulation and early scent introduction. We continue this as the puppies grow with age appropriate introductions of sounds and household items. Our pups are raised in a home with young children and routinely socialised with other…
Health
Health of the parents is essential. Our dogs are picked from breeding stock based on temperament, confirmation and DNA testing results. Our dogs are always up to date on vaccinations and dewormers. Keeping the parents healthy ensures the puppies have the best start to life - even in utero. After the pups are born,…
Home environment
The puppies are born in a whelping box in my bedroom. Yes, right in my room where they are next to me and never left alone at night. I have camera on them to monitor them 24/7. The parent dogs are my pets first, so they live in our home and around us, or in the homes of my guardian families. Once the pups are three…
Included with our puppies
Our puppies come with two rounds of vaccinations, instead of the typical one. The puppies are microchipped and regularly dewormed. They are raised in our home and around us using the Breeders Bootcamp socialisation method to ensure beautiful temperaments as they grow. We also cover the sterilisation costs of the…

Additional Tests
Ohana Dachshunds 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.

About the Breeder
A little about us
I got my first dachshund for my 5th birthday and I've been hooked ever since. I even received my Bachelors degree in Veterinary Science from the University of Arizona. I'm completely obsessed with this amazing breed and love being able to share that with new families that we meet! Ethical breeding practices and the…
Why we got involved in breeding
My parents supported me to breed my first litter when I was 8 years old. I continued breeding and showing dachshunds while growing up in the USA. I then got into rescuing and fostering dachshunds until moving to Australia in 2013. Once my old dachshund, that I brought from the USA, passed away I really struggled to…
Our special touch
I am truly passionate about (albeit obsessed with) dachshunds. I get to know my puppies very well and have a knack for matching them perfectly with their forever homes. I match my puppies primarily on temperament. I like to know as much as possible about the forever homes to ensure that they get a puppy that just…

Applying for a puppy
1. We have an application form that will be sent out only when we have puppies available. 2. Forever homes are picked based on how well they match a puppies temperament. Requests of sex and colour and coat type of the puppy are accommodated however, being open to any puppy will increase the likelihood of a match. 3. A contract of sale will need to be signed by the forever home. 4. Deposit/holding fee of $1000 received from the forever home will officially put the puppy on hold for the family. 5. Regular weekly updates and photos will be sent to the family. The family will also be able to text or call or email at anytime while their puppy is growing and in our care. 6. Puppy will be vaccinated and sterilised and socialised before heading to its forever home. 7. Puppy is to be paid in full before leaving our premises. This can be done via bank transfer in advance or cash payment on the day. 8. Collection will be done at our home where you can meet the parent(s) of the puppy and meet us.
