In an effort to eradicate known diseases in the Dachshund breed DASHaHOUND is commited to testing all its breeding dogs for known diseases. As more tests become available we will broaden the scope of our testing and our guarantees. Each Parent is Certified tested CLEAR for NCL and as either CLEAR or CARRIER or AFFECTED for PRA and identified as to which and the significance of that determination.   All of our males are certified CLEAR for both except Gunny who is AFFECTED.  Our females all tested CLEAR for NCL and their PRA status is listed on their page.  Candy is the only female who tested AFFECTED.  We have never created an affected dog and pledge not to.  The two affected dogs we own were purchased from other breeders who do not test.  We don't discard these dogs, we breed them to clear dogs produing carriers and breed those to clear, ultimately producing a clear line from them.  For details on what this means see DASHaHOUND GUARANTEE The essence of it is; for a dog to have either disease it would have to be tested AFFECTED. Neither, a clear, or carrier would ever develop the disease. Since a carrier does not develop the disease they are fine for pets. But breeding a CARRIER to a CARRIER or to an AFFECTED dog can create an AFFECTED dog.  As a result, DASHaHOUND will not sell a puppy who is a CARRIER for breeding.  It must test clear. A responsible breeder can work with a CARRIER dog in a breeding program or even an AFFECTED dog but they have to test the puppies in the litter before breeding them and make sure they always have one parent who is tested CLEAR. Since we have no control over that, we sell only CLEAR puppies for breeding. Part of the extra cost of a show/ breeding puppy with full AKC rights is the cost to DNA test for NCL and PRA to certify the puppy is both NCL and PRA CLEAR and for the extended guarantee.
