Why Our Dachshund Program Stands Apart
🔬 IVDD-Preventive Breeding Protocol
All breeding stock cleared for:
• Patellar luxation (OFA certified)
• Cardiac screening (veterinary cardiologist)
• Ophthalmologist exam (CERF/CAER)
• Note: No genetic test exists for IVDD—prevention relies on selective breeding from lines with documented spinal health history
📊 Transparent Health Documentation
Full parental health records available for review prior to deposit—including 3-generation pedigrees with longevity data
📜 Breeder’s Pledge
“We breed for health first—because a happy dachshund needs a strong back to explore the world. Every puppy leaves with ramps, harnesses, and our personal commitment to their lifelong wellbeing.”
🐾 P.S. Ask about our Back-Safe Start Kit (included):
Custom-fitted harness, furniture ramps, and our illustrated Dachshund Spine Safety Guide—because prevention begins day one.
Ethical Note: Responsible dachshund breeders emphasize IVDD risk management through education—not false promises. Our guarantee reflects realistic, science-based breeding practices while empowering owners with prevention tools. No breeder can eliminate all IVDD risk in this breed, but we significantly reduce it through selective breeding and owner education.
