Some history:

 

Over the past few years it has become increasingly obvious that, as a breed, we need to have access to funds to support and enable our health improvement plans. In 2010, the Wirehaired Dachshund Club generously subsidised the Lafora Screening programme so that MWHD breeders could take advantage of the available test. In 2011 we approached all the Breed Clubs, the Wirehaired Dachshund Trust and the Kennel Club Charitable Trust for donations to support the roll-out of a UK Lafora Screening Programme. Collectively, they committed over £35,000 to this programme and we are extremely grateful for their generosity. 

 

The Breed Council agreed to set up its own Health Fund at its October 2011 Council meeting and made an initial donation of £500 from its reserves. 

 

Thanks to the continuing support of individual owners and our Breed Clubs, numerous fundraising activities have continued to build the fund. At the end of 2018, when DHUK was established, the fund had a balance of £26,000.
