I'm David M., the breeder behind Creme de la Creme Dachshunds located in Copperas Cove, TX. We started our breeding program 10 years ago when we adopted Bayleigh, a beagle. We were never able to have a litter with her as before she was ready began having seizures. We paused the program until we found Winter our 5th generation Akc longhair cream dam. Since her first litter our pack has grown to include Winston a 5th generation akc longhair red piebald.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Creme de la Creme Dachshunds 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.
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).
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.
