Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
All our puppies are raised in our home with our children, & other dogs (big and little). We start exposing them to all the normal sounds and feels as soon as possible, to set them up for a successful future. Puppies that have been exposed to normal day to day life and things they may encounter as they get older we…
Health
We aim to only ever breed healthy, happy puppies and we do this by only ever breeding from healthy, well-rounded adults with amazing natures who are all fully DNA tested with correct conformation and structure.
Home environment
In our home, our puppies are raised around normal day-to-day activities and sounds right in our living room and when they are old enough, we introduce them to grass and the outside world ( our backyard ) so they are well prepared for their new homes. Our two children play as massive part in helping raise our puppies…
Included with our puppies
All our puppies go home vaccinated, microchipped and up-to-date with worming. We also provide an extensive personalised puppy pack with lots of items that we believe will help new owners in the early days with their new puppies, and of course, life time support and we mean life time - any question or help needed is…

Additional Tests
Southern Snags 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.

I then was a foster carer for 5 years where I learnt a lot about every breed and how they are each unique and then I met my first dachshund and just feel madly…
Why we got involved in breeding
I have always wanted to be a breeder and it was a matter of finding my heart breed and getting to know the breed and doing years of research before even diving into breeding myself. I absolutely love the happiness it brings connecting new families with there new best friend and I take soo much pride in breeding…
