Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?

In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Is my listing already here?

We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.

Buying a Miniature Wire Haired Dachshund puppy

Here you can find breeders across the UK advertising Miniature Wire Haired Dachshund puppies for sale, together with litters they are planning. Listings show what breeders have supplied to caninebreeder.co.uk, so check the details for yourself before you commit. For this variety, ask first for a Lafora DNA result for each parent, then for IVDD grades, cord1 PRA results and eye certificates, all of which you can confirm on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Budget time for grooming: the RKC suggests grooming more than once a week, and the breed club says most wire coats need hand-stripping a couple of times a year. Expect a small but lively hound that needs up to an hour's exercise daily and has an RKC-listed lifespan of over 12 years. See the puppies with their mother and wait until they are at least eight weeks old. Read our buyer safety guide, or browse other hound breeders.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC lists two Good Practice tests. The first is spine screening for intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), in which spinal discs harden early and can herniate. In the breed council's DachsLife 2018 survey, cited by the RKC, 16.5% of Miniature Wires over three had IVDD reported. The IVDD scheme X-rays dogs aged 24 to 48 months and grades the spine from 0 to 3 by the number of calcified discs; the RKC notes that screening lowers risk but cannot guarantee an unaffected puppy.

The second is a DNA test for Lafora disease, an inherited, late-onset epilepsy that Dachshund Health UK identifies in Miniature Wires. Signs usually appear from about five years and include sudden jerking, which flashing lights, noise or movement near the head can trigger, and the disease may progress to wider neurological decline. It is recessive, and because it shows so late, testing all breeding stock before mating is the only reliable way to avoid affected puppies.

All three miniature varieties can also be affected by cord1 PRA, which can cause blindness; Dachshund Health UK also advises NPHP4 PRA (day blindness) testing for wires with Scandinavian pedigrees. The RKC places the variety in Breed Watch Category 2: judges watch for thin dogs, eye irritation, poor hind movement and inadequate ground clearance.
