Since the 1980s Laci Dachshunds have been bred for drive, determination, stamina, health, temperament, and conformation to better the breed. Laci Dachshunds began as a performance line working in Earthdog and Obedience. A few years after beginning our love with Dachshunds we became interested in the conformation competition thus reinforcing the need for solid structure. Laci Dachshunds now compete in all venues available to Dachshunds.
“Quality, not quantity. Breeders should strive to better the breed, not just breed for the sake of breeding.”
The Laci breeding philosophy is pretty simple. There must be solid conformation in both the sire and dam considered for breeding, as that will give the litter a better chance of being sound health wise. There are no guarantees with Dachshunds against IVDD (one of a few issues in the breed that could be cause for concern); however, we believe this breeding philosophy gives the pups a greater chance for long-lived, healthy lives.
