Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised with other pets and children we also welcome new owners to sit with puppy to help puppy adjust to their new family. Our puppies are also exposed to a variety of normal household noises such as: TV, music, vacuum cleaner, lawn mower, local traffic and much more.
Health
We test all our dogs with Orivet DNA testing with the miniature dachshund breed profile covering all dachshund genetic diseases. Puppies are: - Checked by our local vet at six weeks. - Receive their first round of vaccinations. - Microchipped. - Wormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks.
Home environment
We are located in Northern NSW, in the town of Tenterfield on a regular suburban block in a house. Our puppies are kept inside with mum in a secure clean enclosure until puppies have received their first vaccinations and health check giving the all clear to enjoy the outside world where they have a secure enclosure…
