About Us
We are a small, in home, hobby breeder located on the South Coast of NSW, Australia. At ONATAH Dachshunds we aim to match puppies with forever homes based on the puppies temperament/personality the new owners lifestyle. We don't just want to sell you a puppy, we want you to find your soulmate, a match so perfect it's like the pup was made just for you. We believe the happiest life for a dog is as a loved family pet and we strive to match our puppies with families who can give them the time and attention they require.
Our Puppies are born and raised inside our home and receive the very best care, attention and of course lots of love. We raise our puppies using Puppy Culture; this is a regime put together by vets, behavioural specialists and breeders to help puppies to transition into their new homes as smoothly possible. Puppy Culture involves many exercises such as desensitising puppies to noises such as Sirens, Thunder, Children, loud noises. It also involves introducing pups to things such as water and swimming, walking on a leash, socialisation with not only other dogs but other animals big and small, basic obedience toilet training and crate training.
All of our breeding Dachshunds have had full Genetic Screening completed by Orivet. Copies of parents genetic tests are available for all puppy buyers to view and are included in the puppy's information folder.
All of our puppies come from DNA tested parents, they come microchipped, with their 6 and 10 week vaccinations, wormed each fortnight and they come with a puppy start up pack to help them transition into their new home and life. Puppies are socialised well, they are used to having their nails clipped weekly and ears cleaned. Puppies have been handled from birth and socialised with our adult Dachshunds from around 5 weeks old once their eyes and ears open and they are steady on their feet.
Our puppy prices are currently between $3500-$5500, accurate pricing will be given to you upon application.
Buyers are asked to sign a desexing contract at time of pick up and a REFUND of $500 will be made upon proof of desexing (and not bred) by 12 months old. Desexing is a legal requirement when purchasing from us, we do not sell puppies for breeding.
A $500 deposit (or more if you wish) is required to 'hold' a puppy at time of choosing. This deposit is fully refundable if circumstances change up to 8 weeks old, or if for any reason the sale does not go ahead.
Unfortunately we do not ship our puppies interstate, I am a strong believer in meeting my puppy buyers, and having them come to my home to see how the puppies have been raised, the temperaments of the parents and of course my other dogs. I encourage puppy buyers to come and spend time with us, to get to know us and get to know our dogs. I also like to create a relationship with my puppy buyers, to keep in touch and be available for any advice and help throughout the dogs entire life. If you are located in another state, you will be required to travel to us to collect your puppy.
All of our dogs are Purebred Miniature Dachshunds, We take tracing our bloodlines very seriously and think it is extremely important to know the history behind each dog. All puppies sold will come with a family tree of lineage put together to the best of our knowledge.
