Selecting Our Breeding Dogs
By taking the following comprehensive steps, reputable dachshund breeders like myself can help minimize the risk of passing on genetic health problems and produce puppies that are not only physically sound, but also have the ideal temperament and breed characteristics that make dachshunds such wonderful companion dogs.
Genetic Screening
I screen the parent dogs extensively for any genetic health conditions that are common in the dachshund breed, such as intervertebral
disc disease, hip and elbow dysplasia, and von Willebrand’s disease. This involves conducting genetic testing as well as getting the
necessary health clearances from organizations like the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF).
Genetic Screening
When selecting breeding dogs, I place a strong emphasis on ensuring they conform to the breed standard set by the American Kennel Club (AKC).
This means evaluating factors like the dogs’ size, body structure, coat, and overall appearance to make sure they are representative of the dachshund breed.
Temperament Evaluation
Temperament is extremely important to me, so I carefully evaluate the parent dogs’ temperaments through obedience trials, socialization tests,
and close observation. I want to ensure the dogs have the confident, friendly, and alert temperament that is characteristic of well-bred dachshunds.
Health History Review
I thoroughly review the health history of any potential breeding dogs, looking for any signs of genetic disorders or underlying health issues in the dogs themselves as well as their lineage.
This helps me make informed decisions about which dogs to include in my breeding program.
