About Zoe Saunders
I am a world-renowned, multi award-winning dog breeder known for producing superior, healthy dogs with a difference. As a former Crufts-winning exhibitor, author and speaker in this field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my breeding programmes. Over the years, Zoe has established herself as a highly skilled and respected professional in the field of dog breeding.
Through the extensive health testing of my dogs, I discovered rare genetic colours revealed through DNA blood test results. Fascinated by these findings, I began studying gene dilution, DNA profiling and colour formation in greater depth.
Today, I specialise in breeding exotic and rare dogs, including French Bulldogs and Mini Dachshunds in unusual colours and coat types. I was also the proud owner of the world’s most famous and award-winning Mini Dachshund, Charlie Chaplin, whose bloodline has been shared with breeders around the world.
