DERDLEDASH DACHSHUNDS
Always ready to talk about them so don't hesitate to contact us.
Derdledash Dachshunds
Established in 2009 specialising in showing, working and pet standard wire haired dachshunds
Based in a home environment for the best possible start and with excellent facilities for ongoing training and advice.
I am an Assured Kennel Club Breeder, member of The Dachshund Club, Committee Member of The Wire Haired Dachshund Club and subscriber to The Dachshund Breed Council. Also a member of the Home Breeders Association and completed a course in Animal Psychology being awarded a Diploma.
We have access to 24/7 veterinary cover and access to qualified staff in an emergency.
What we do
We are a family living in a comfy old house with large gardens and we spend most of our time training and enjoying our pack of dachshunds. We also occasionally have a litter of puppies which we do have available to select homes. We also like to update our fans on social media about our exploits.
Our Home
We have now moved. Our new home is in a small village close to farmland, lots of country walks and all facilities.
The dogs have more space indoors and love running riot in the house. They have their own beds both upstairs and downstairs, their own clothing and accessory storage. The garden is amazing for them, totally secure, mostly stone walled and with lots of places to hide play and enjoy life.
Puppy Care
The puppies are raised initially in a separate room of the house and there is usually a radio playing Classic FM and when the puppies arrive channels are changed to give them a full repertoire of music.
There is also access to a DVD player which can introduce them to many other sounds on a low volume so when they leave they have heard most noises. Although there is a radiator here they also have a heat lamp.
They then have access to the rest of the house with the usual noises and the garden of course.
History
In 2009 when my father died, mum was persuaded to buy a companion. He was a mini wire haired dachshund called Pepe Le Pugh. He was definitely a big dog in a little body and a great character. He was the reason I fell in love with the breed. I preferred the standard variety and I found Brokk. My first wire haired dachshund and what a great little dog. He could play football, track deer, strut his stuff in the show ring and be daft showing the breed really are the clowns of the dog world. The rest is definitely history.

Our Puppies
We usually have a litter of puppies maybe once a year and the main reason is to then have a young dog to produce in the show ring and add to the pack.
Our breeding programme has been carefully orchastrated so that we can produce the best quality dogs true to the breed standard with excellent natures, that would fit in with either a working life or family pet.
We do have our own stud dog but often use carefully chosen studs from the best breeders ensuring we continue a blood line to be proud of.

Our Promise
Although we do let our puppies and occasionally older dogs go to new homes we understand that often circumstances can change. All our Derdledash dogs are always a part of us and if for any reason you find you cant keep your dachshund either when a puppy, adolescent or old dog we promise to take the dog back and give it the best home. None of our dogs have been re-homed so far but that promise is there to ensure that if the worst should happen you are safe in the knowledge you have a backup plan.

Our Activities
As a family we love the outdoors. We have some fabulous walks on the doorstep including wood and parkland. There is also a doggy park a short drive away for a big run.
We are usually at a dog show at the weekend and midweek we go to ringcraft to keep ourselves on top of the game.
We enjoy Kennel Club Good Citizen classes as these help with puppy socialisation and basic training.
We have our own dog agility equipment in the garden designed for little legs and they love running amok.
