Boskahun Kennel - Dachshund Standard Smooth Breeder - Adelaide, SA
Dachshund Dog Breeder - SA
I have been involved with Dachshunds since 1980. My current Standard Smooths have x-ray certification - to improve the health of Dachshunds for IVDD. Health, happiness and sound temperaments is of the utmost importance to me when breeding whilst always striving to improve the quality of my dogs. My dogs are family members first and show dogs second.
I offer ongoing support for all my puppies sold, and prospective new owners can expect to be asked many questions and to be met prior to obtaining a puppy from me.

Placement & matching
Question. Is making sure your puppies go to the right homes a priority? How do you ensure they are placed in loving, responsible homes?
Answer. Yes.Always ask many questions and in all cases where the new owners live in SA, I want to meet them and visit where they will be residing (new homes).
I request that they come and visit me to see where their new puppy has been born and raised and have them meet my older dogs to assess the temperament and see how the older ones are with new people, a good indication of what the pups will be when fully grown.
