By the sea on the Durham coast, you’ll find Deliciaedax, our home with longhaired Miniature Dachshunds.

​

The name Deliciaedax is derived from the Latin Deliciae, meaning beloved, cherished, a source of delight. A fitting reflection of how we view our dogs and the role they hold in our lives.

​

We are a show kennel with a genuine passion for exhibiting and occasionally breeding Dachshunds. Showing allows us to assess type, structure, and movement, while breeding carries the responsibility of preserving those qualities for the next generation.

​

Our focus is clear and consistent: health, type, temperament, and purpose. We do not breed for colour trends or dilutes. Instead, we work to uphold the breed standard, selecting from carefully considered international lines that contribute strength, diversity, and integrity to our programme. Every pairing is intentional.

​

Beyond the show ring, our Dachshunds live as part of our home. They are raised within a normal environment, with the time, handling, and exposure needed to develop into stable, well-adjusted dogs.

​

Each puppy is reared underfoot with consistent socialisation and care, leaving us prepared for life in their new home.

Puppies leave Deliciaedax with a full puppy pack, first vaccinations, microchip, and Kennel Club registration. Ongoing support is always available.

​

Our priority is the careful placement of each puppy into a suitable, committed home.
