Cascade Minis 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.
Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
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).

Cascade Minis was the best breeder I’ve ever worked with. She was quick to answer all of my questions, very easy to work with and coordinate a pick up time with, very transparent with the health and genetics of the mom and dad, and best of all you can tell the puppies had some basic training before he joined our family. I was bracing myself for the sleepless nights caused by crate training a puppy. The crate guilt caused me to give up with both of my previous dogs, but Piglet slept through the night in his crate from day one and would even seek it out when he felt sleepy during the day. It isn’t just me that was impressed with Cascade minis. Our vet was so impressed with all of the good information Cascade Minis sent us home with. The most useful was the schedule the puppies were on before we picked Piglet up. Having the schedule to follow really helped avoid some of the behavior issues that overstimulated pups can show. I am so thankful for Cascade Minis. Piglet is so loved by my family. He’s a happy, healthy, smart little guy and he’s so cute that he turns heads every where he goes. I can’t go anywhere without being asked where I got him. I couldn’t have asked for a better pup and a better experience with a breeder.
