Elite Miniature Dachshund Stud Dogs
For the first time, I am opening my elite team of miniature dachshund stud dogs to the public. Until now, these exceptional boys have been reserved exclusively for my own breeding programme and a small circle of private clients.
Each dog has been carefully selected for outstanding structure, temperament, and true-to-type dachshund conformation, and all are extensively health tested well beyond standard requirements. This ensures not only distinctive looks and quality, but also long-term health and soundness within the breed.

Health Testing and Genetic Screening
All stud dogs have been tested for and are clear of PRA, DM, OI and BVA. It is worth noting that PRA, OI and DM testing are considered standard practice.
Additionally, all my dogs between 2 and 4 years old are tested for IVDD, currently the biggest killer in dachshunds. This is classified as “good practice” by the British Dachshund Breed Council, yet many breeders do not carry out this test due to the cost.
My dogs are also BVA tested, which is categorised as “best practice”, demonstrating the importance I place on comprehensive health testing and responsible breeding.

Bitches must be presented in optimum health and it is strongly recommended that they are ovulation tested to ensure the best possible results. Breeding from a health tested bitch with a proven history of good whelping lines is important for producing healthy litters.
Yes. Please contact me for domestic and international stud service availability and stud terms, and I will be happy to discuss options with you.
All stud dogs have been tested and are clear of PRA, DM, OI and BVA. In addition, dogs between 2 and 4 years old are tested for IVDD, currently one of the biggest health concerns in dachshunds. This testing goes beyond standard practice to ensure the highest possible health standards.
It is strongly advised to have the bitch blood tested using a calibrated machine to determine the day of ovulation as accurately as possible. This helps ensure the best timing for mating and improves the chances of a successful litter.
