All the Waldmeister dogs have the desired temperament and possess instinct and working ability, some of them are exhibited in the show-ring and all are much loved pets too. Both Dachshunds and Sussex Spaniels have been used in the beating line and the Dachshunds are used when needed, at farmers request, to drive out problem foxes from natural and artificial lairs. We are striving to breed healthy dogs that conform to the breed standard and can perform the tasks they were created for, with a bold and outgoing temperament that makes the dachshund so appealing. Here is a link to our Dogs at Work page. Here is a link to another Kennel Club Assured Breeder who has healthy dogs that have good temperaments and working instinct.
We no longer keep Sussex Spaniels as it was increasingly difficult to find good homes for puppies. We now concentrate solely on Rauhaar Zwerg Teckels (Miniature Wire Haired Dachshunds).

All the Dachshunds are trained from a very early age, to walk alongside sheep and even through flocks of sheep. They know that they are not allowed to chase sheep. When they are a few weeks old, they are taken onto the moor with the others and walked on a long field line. If they go to chase the sheep, the field line is given a sharp tug that takes them off their feet - that is usually the first and last time they go to chase the sheep! |
