How This Started

It Started With One Dog Who Refused to Be Ignored

We didn't set out to breed dachshunds. We got one, because a friend had one, and within about a week it had rearranged our entire evening routine around itself. Anyone who's owned a dachshund knows exactly what I mean — they're small, but they run the house.

A few years on, we ended up with our first litter almost by accident, and the moment those puppies opened their eyes, we were finished pretending this was a one-off. The spare room became a whelping room. The sofa got a permanent throw over it. And here we are.

We're not a big operation. There's no yard full of kennels here — puppies are born in the house, raised in the house, and under our feet the entire time, which is exactly how we think it should be.

"We only ever have as many dogs as we can actually give proper attention to. That's the whole business model."

How We Work

A Few Things We Won't Compromise On

  • Puppies leave with a full health check

    Vet checked, wormed, and vaccinated for their age — every single litter, no exceptions.

  • They're raised around real life, not a kennel

    Vacuum cleaners, doorbells, kids running through the kitchen — puppies meet all of it before they meet you.

  • We tell you the truth about the breed

    Dachshunds are brilliant, but they're also stubborn and prone to back problems if they're let get overweight or jump around too much. We'd rather you know that now than find out later.

  • Distance isn't a dealbreaker

    If you're not close enough to collect, we can arrange delivery UK-wide, so the right puppy doesn't come down to a postcode.

Around Here

Most Days Involve at Least One Escape Attempt

Dachshunds are diggers, climbers and world-class negotiators when there's food involved. Ours are no different — which is precisely why we like raising them the way we do. You get to know a puppy's personality properly when you're the one refereeing its schemes every day.
