About Us

After nearly 20 years showing and breeding Labrador Retrievers, a move to the Southern Highlands in 2019 triggered a change of breed for our kennel.  Our new property had no facilities for the Labradors, as we had downsized our number of labs due to work committments a few years prior, making the move a little smoother.  With Dachshunds being in my family for a few generations as companions, we introduced a miniature smooth to the household.  Nearly 12 months later, another "appeared".. and the numbers continue to grow!

Our Dachshunds join us with two horses and too many wild kangaroos on our 27 acre property.  I exhibit the Dachshunds a few times a month and the rest of the time the dogs enjoy the country life. 

I work in the veterinary industry and have done for over 30 years.  I am a member of Dogs NSW (ANKC) and am also on the committee for the Dachshund Club of NSW.  We are not a large kennel that produce litter after litter, we are very selective with our dogs and take breeding a litter seriously, planning and choosing the best male for our bitches in the hope to produce quality miniature smooths.
