My love for animals started to grow in my early childhood, I wished to have a dog, I dear say, since my birth. After I owned several mice and hamsters and mainly after my long-lasting persuading my parents, I was finally allowed to have a dog, when I was 10 years old. After proper studying many kynological books, we decided to buy a smoothhaired dachshund - for his size, coat care or for his character. We managed to buy a standard-sized black and tan dachshund without pedigree, and we gave him name Flip.

He came into our family in August 1988 as a 7 weeks old puppy and spent a beautiful life of 13 years with us. Since then, me and my family fell in love with his unique dachshund character.

In 1999, I decided to buy my first pedigree dachshund, but in the smaller version - miniature or kaninchen.

After a long time of searching I met the breeder Eva Zalesakova - Safrankova from Brno (kennel „Saffron Gold“) and I fell in love with her three miniature dachsie ladies at once.

One of them (Franny Aischa) was just expecting puppies, so I booked a puppy from her. But unfortunatelly no girl was born in her litter and so Eva directed me to the breeder of her Franny - Mr. Chvojka - and luckily he had puppies for sale at the moment to my pleasure and what more - from the same parents as Franny was, from sire Ch. Germandachs Mestoffeles and dam Ch. Andy Aischa.

On 13 November 1999, we drove to the small village Tisice by Melnik to the kennel „Aischa“, where we could choose from two cute puppy girls. I fell for the smaller and the dashing one immediately – Lassie Aischa (alias Derry).

In 2000, we got a unique offer to import a non-relative female from Hungary. Well, we didn´t hesitate long and drove to the kennel „Kisjeszeni“ of Miklos Jeszenszky and returned with 8 weeks old puppy on 22 July 2000 - Kisjeszeni Rommy (alias Stefi).

Stefi - 2 months Stefi - 2 months Stefi

I managed to fulfill all breeding conditions of both females during 2001 and apply for registration of my kennel. We lived to see their first puppies in 2002.

Both Derry and Stefi were doing great on shows as well as on working field during 2000 - 2003.

Kaninchen Derry became Champion CZ, SK, LUX and she finished her show "career" by obtaining the title of Interchampion.  She was working well on her trial exams - she passed the Bloodtrack hunting trials, Bloodtrack trials and Club bloodtrack trials. She came the first in the Dachshund working trial cup in 2001.

All our dachshunds live in our home with us as family members and their puppies are raised with emphasis on their health and correct socialization. Before leaving for their new homes they get a Passport, they are tattoed, dewurmed several times, at least once vaccinated and fed with Artemis granules, which we use for feeding our adult dogs too. For our puppies we choose only such new owners, who take their dogs as family members, and don´t keep them in kennels. We welcome to keep in touch with the new owners even after our puppies are sold.

   


And now a little bit about the two-legged part of our team :)
The big change for my kennel and my person became in 2010, when I met my husband, also a breeder of smooth miniature dachshunds (kennel "von Sbaritz"). 

We moved to a beautiful and perfect place for the large herd of dachshunds in 2011 - into a house with a large garden neighboured by fields and forests, where our dachshunds feel like a fish in the water.

Another big and beautiful change came on 12.12.2012, when our son František was born.

 

 


I give my great thanks to my husband who shares with me the joys and hardships of breeding and helps me with training the dogs, to my parents, who helped me with care of my puppies as well as the adult dogs in the past. Also special thanks to all co-owners of our dogs and owners of our offsprings, who present them at shows and trials and what is the most important - who love their dogs as we do. My dream would never have come true without them.  

 

Onyx Moravia, 2013
