Ongoing Support

We're committed to supporting you throughout your Dachshund's life. Questions or concerns? We're always here to provide guidance and assistance.

Genetic Disorders Covered

Our lifetime genetic guarantee covers the following hereditary conditions commonly found in Dachshunds:

Hip Dysplasia

A hereditary condition where the hip joint doesn't fit properly into the hip socket, potentially leading to arthritis and pain.

Elbow Dysplasia

A genetic condition affecting the elbow joint, causing pain and mobility issues including joint instability.

Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)

Given the Dachshund's long spine, they're at risk for IVDD - when cushioning discs between vertebrae bulge or rupture.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)

A degenerative eye disease affecting the retina's ability to function properly, which can lead to vision loss over time.

Von Willebrand's Disease

A hereditary bleeding disorder affecting blood clotting ability, which can cause excessive bleeding during injuries or surgeries.

Patellar Luxation

A condition where the kneecap dislocates from its normal position, often seen in small breeds including Dachshunds.

How We Minimize Genetic Health Issues

At LongwoodLane.com, we take proactive measures to ensure the healthiest puppies possible. Our responsible breeding practices include comprehensive health screenings, genetic testing, and careful selection of breeding pairs.

Comprehensive Health Screening

Before breeding, all potential pairs undergo extensive health evaluations including hip/elbow dysplasia assessments, eye examinations, and cardiac assessments.

Genetic Testing

We conduct genetic testing for common hereditary conditions like von Willebrand's disease and progressive retinal atrophy to prevent affected puppies.

Careful Pair Selection

We carefully select breeding pairs based on health history, temperament, and genetic diversity to ensure strong, healthy puppies.

Healthy Environment

Our breeding dogs are raised in a clean, stress-free environment with proper nutrition and regular veterinary care.

Early Socialization

Puppies are socialized from an early age, exposing them to various stimuli to help them develop into well-adjusted adults.

Detailed Lineage Records

We maintain detailed records of lineage, allowing us to track any hereditary issues across generations for informed breeding decisions.
