Mature Dachshunds

Coots at Eversden is foremost a professional show kennel. What is that? We breed only the best show dogs and we are always looking to achieve this aim by breeding dogs that we know have the correct temperament, conformity and pure bloodline to achieve the best breed of dachshund possible.

When a decision is made to take a pick of a litter what we know is that at 12 weeks old this is not possible to do.The dogs development is at the beginning of its journey. We have in the past kept a dog and have seen as its litter mates develop in their new homes, we have made the wrong choice. It’s not science , it’s life!

So two years ago we decided that any litter we were looking for a possible show dog, all the litter would be kept so we could see first hand the development ourselves. Each dog is trained from an early age to socilaise and to bring out the best possible temperament as it takes a special type of dog to be able to show at an International level. They need to be able to perform for their handler, love what they do, they are not anxious and often have to enjoy hours of travel too. It’s not for all dachshunds, as it wouldn’t be for all humans.

Any potential new owner of one of our infant puppies, or young adults, has the possibility to own a dog that is indeed very special. Although in the end this dog has not been chosen for show life, it is always a very difficult decision to make. You have the opportunity to own a dachshund that has been trained to be very special. For many, young puppies dont always suit a family situation and having an older dog who is ready to integrate immediately into family life, that is confident and independent is a great option. Also let’s look at some of the other benefits, at full maturity you can see your adult dog and know it is perfect in appearance. Typically any health issues will also present before a dog is 6 months old.

We have a number of mature dachshunds available to loving families and homes. These dogs are all precious to us and we consider it our duty to find them perfectly matched homes and sofas. Some of our dachshunds adore children, so finding a young family is a must for them. Others love the company of other dogs, so having a family with other dogs is a great match. If you are looking for a mature dachshund, then we will work with you to find the most suitable girl or boy to join your family. Remember the life expectancy of a dachshund is 12 + years. These girls and boys are still so very young and ready to start their lives with you.

All dogs have an International Pedigree, are fully vaccinated and have completed a socialisation programme.
