I'm Katie M., the breeder behind 50 shades of dachshund located in Camden, NC. We are a large pet family that has been breeding dachshunds for 13 years we have started with two dogs and have grown over the years. Our program is based on the fact that we keep all of the dogs that we’ve used in our program as pets after they have retired.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
50 shades of dachshund reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Dachshunds.
Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
