Welcome to the Dachshund Breed Council's new Health website

Welcome to our new health website. We've refreshed the design to make it easier for you to find important Dachshund health information more quickly.

To start with, many of the pages will link back to our legacy health website but we will gradually update the information and incorporate it into this new site. There is a wealth of information on the old site which we will keep as reference resources and for those people interested in more detail. We want to keep this site user-friendly, clean and simple.

In order to avoid duplicating existing content, particularly our advice on buying and owning a Dachshund, we are also including links to material on our main Breed Council website.

We also have our dedicated IVDD (Back Disease) website which remains the "go to" place for information on IVDD. This new site links to the IVDD one to avoid duplicating information.
