HEREDITARY DISEASE TESTS
Sarcoglycan Deficient Muscular Dystrophy (SDMD)
High-Moderate Risk. Affected otherwise seemingly healthy puppies tend to die without warning prior to 12 weeks. Clinical sign first noted is at about 6 months of age and can include exercise intolerance, stiffness, choking, and difficulties in eating. Due to muscle deterioration, it may involve relatively high treatment/management costs. The life expectancy of an affected dachshund is less than 2 years, though 8 years was recorded.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) Cord 1
Late-onset in dachshunds, it’s a collection of inherited diseases affecting the retina that causes blindness. Generally, it presents with initial night blindness, with a slow deterioration of vision until the dog is completely blind. There is no pain associated with the disease.
Sanfilippo Syndrome Type A / Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA
Low-Moderate risk, affected dogs typically present around 3 years of age with neurologic deterioration. It does not generally affect life expectancy.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Moderate risk. Affected dogs typically present between 3 to 4 weeks of age with pain, lameness, and fractures. Bones of affected dogs are thinner than normal, fracture easily, and do not heal properly. Other features of the disorder include loose joints and brittle teeth. Because of the severity of the disease, pups with OI are usually euthanized by 3 months of age.
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL)
Moderate risk and can cause significant impairment to balance and coordination and signs of discomfort in affected dachshunds. It may involve relatively high treatment/management costs, and can sometimes reduce life expectancy.
Alopecia
Low-Moderate risk. Colour dilution alopecia is a type of follicular dysplasia and only occurs when colour dilution is present. Affected animals are born with normal hair coats, but usually, signs will be seen between 6 months and 2 years of age, when the hair will begin to break, and patchy alopecia (hair loss) occurs. This usually starts on the back and will progress to widespread hair loss wherever there is light coloured hair. The skin becomes dry and scaly and is prone to infections. Hair that is lost will not grow back. Affected dogs are also susceptible to sunburn and cold. There is no cure for this condition.
VETERINARY HEALTH SCREENING
IVDD Backscoring
6 high-quality Spinal X-rays are taken during the age of 2-4 years. The X-rays are sent for review by a spinal analyst Dr. Alana Rosenblatt, University of Queensland.
The aim of X-ray screening for IVDD is to reduce the occurrence of herniations in future generations by breeding dogs that have low numbers of calcifications.
Dogs are given a score of (0-14), the lower the number.

Patellar Apprehension Test
Luxating patella (dislocated kneecap) — This condition only affects the rear legs, often seen in small breeds of dogs such as Yorkies, toy poodles, and dachshunds. By screening the parents it is less likely that their offspring are affected by slipping patellas.

CONFORMATION RESULTS
- 2020Dachshund Club of NSW Inc (NSW)
Award: Runner-up in Baby Puppy
Judge: Kim Meyer (NSW)
What is a confirmation show?
A conformation show, also referred to as a breed show, is where judge familiar with a specific dog breed evaluates individual purebred dogs for how well the dogs conform to the established breed type for their breed, as described in a breed’s individual breed standard.
Why show?
Many Reason. Showing is a great way to meet and socialise with people who also love dogs. It’s a picnic type setting outdoors where you can get dress up, spend time and show off your dog. The shows are also useful to breeders as a means of evaluating dogs for breeding purposes. It is also a great way of looking for potential studs. Not all people who show their dogs are breeders.
Can I enter my Dachshund?
Dogs 12 weeks of age or older and MAINS registered with the ANKC are eligible to participate in conformation events, as are spayed and neutered dogs. Dogs are taken into the show ring by their owner or handler and who have current membership with a ANKC state body, such as DOGS NSW. There are a number of website dedicated to show entries. I would recommend contacting your local breed club or state body and asking for assistance given your location.
Where does it happen?
Check the Gazette section of your state bodies magazine, or online entry sites. Dog shows occur in every state including regional towns and held typically at a show ground.
In Sydney, there are a number of shows held each weekend at the Bill Spilstead Complex for Canine Affairs, 44 Luddenham Road, Orchard Hills. If a show is on, you can’t miss the 500-1500 dogs there on the day, hounds are in ring 4 (or ring 2).
