Delamaine Dachshunds - Miniature

Our family of six live on a rural property west of Merriwa in the Upper Hunter west of Scone. We moved from Sydney in 2004. Our children love the rural lifestyle, with animals being a big part of this, and it has enabled me to fulfil a dream to breed Miniature Dachshunds in idealic surroundings.

We started breeding and showing our dogs in 2012, though we have owned minis as pets for 15 years.

Lou Lou’s first litter was born in April 2012, and we retained a silver dapple girl ‘Blue Lilly’ to show and breed on with. Lou Lou is an exceptional mother with a very placid easy going nature. Lilly is following in her mother’s footsteps with the same traits. Lou Lou’s second litter was born in Nov 2012. From this litter we retained a black & tan girl as part of our show team, ‘Sauvignon Blanc’, hopeful of the same success that we have had with Lilly.

Our dogs have a wonderful life of hunting and playing. They play outside during the day and come inside of an evening. They love our kids and we quite often have a game of soccer, tennis or cricket with them on the lawn.
