HOW we make a difference
Genetic Testing
Genetic Testing
Genetic Testing
There are a couple of genetic markers we test for prior to breeding.
- Afibrinogenemia (Dachshund Type)
- Chondrodystrophy (CDDY and IVDD Risk) with or without Chondrodysplasia (CDPA)
- Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
- Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA
- Narcolepsy (Dachshund Type)
- Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1
- Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 2
- Osteogenesis

Color Coats
Genetic Testing
Genetic Testing
When breeding Dachshunds there's do's and dont's when pairing up our males & females. It is important to know what colors/hidden colors our dogs carry to avoid any Double placement of between our pairs.
We test for 43 different color & coat types to ensure we narrow down exactly how we'd like to proceed prior to planning a litter.
OFA Testing
Genetic Testing
OFA Testing
OFA is a crucial step that every breeder should have in their program BEFORE considering breeding.
OFA testing, or Orthopedic Foundation for Animals testing, is a series of health screenings for dogs that includes X-rays, genetic testing, and other exams: Hip and elbow X-rays, Blood collection, Soft tissue exams, and DNA-based genetic tes

OFA testing helps prevent the spread of genetic diseases in dogs and other companion animals. The OFA's mission is to improve the health of companion animals by reducing the occurrence of genetic disease.
