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 Wire Haired Dachshund puppy

Browse Wire Haired Dachshund puppies for sale from breeders listed on caninebreeder.co.uk. Listings show what each breeder has told us, so treat them as a starting point and check the details yourself. Before paying anything, ask for both parents' IVDD grades and eye results and look them up on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Bear in mind that this is a hound bred to follow scent and work underground: the RKC suggests up to an hour's exercise a day and grooming more than once a week, and the harsh coat and beard need regular care. Visit the litter and see the puppies with their mother. Under England's dog breeding licence conditions, a licensed breeder may not sell a puppy under eight weeks old. Dachshund Health UK publishes advice for buyers, and our buyer safety guide explains how to spot fake adverts. You can also look for a Wire Haired Dachshund stud dog.

Health tests to ask about

The Royal Kennel Club's health guidance for the Wire Haired Dachshund puts the spine first. Its Good Practice tier, the minimum it strongly recommends before breeding, is the KC/Dachshund Health UK IVDD scheme. Dogs are X-rayed once, between 24 and 48 months of age, and the number of calcified discs sets a grade from 0 to 3 that stands for life. Dachshund Health UK describes intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) as the most frequent health problem affecting Dachshunds in the UK. In the 2018 DachsLife survey quoted by the RKC, 8.6% of Wire Haired Dachshunds over three had been reported with IVDD, the lowest figure of the six varieties. The RKC's Best Practice tier adds eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. Dachshund Health UK also recommends NPHP4 PRA (day blindness) screening before breeding for Wires with Scandinavian pedigrees; this is not an RKC listing.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 2: judges watch for visible eye irritation or discomfort, inadequate ground clearance, and incorrect hind conformation or poor rear movement. The RKC will not register puppies from a mating made on or after 1 January 2010 in which both parents are dapple, because of the risks to sight and hearing. There is no breed-specific RKC DNA package. Recorded results appear on the RKC Health Test Results Finder.
