Dachshund Health UK is sponsoring this year's DBRG Symposium on skin problems in dogs

Our 2018 health survey identified skin diseases as the second most prevalent health issue affecting Dachshunds. As a result, we focused our 2021 health survey on skin conditions and have reported the findings that dilute coloured Dachshunds are significantly more at risk of problems such as Colour Dilution Alopecia.

This year, the Dog Breeding Reform Group's Health Symposium focuses on Tackling Hereditary and Breed-related Skin Problems in Dogs and we are pleased to be Bronze Sponsors. The event takes place at Surrey Vet School on 6th November 2022.

Northamptonshire Dachshunds fundraising for IVDD

We are grateful to Rebecca Miles and all the members of the Northamptonshire Dachshunds Facebook Group for a donation of £108 to our back disease (IVDD) projects. Judging by the photos from some of their recent walks, they are a great group of Dachshund enthusiasts who brave all weathers to meet up and chat.

The donation will contribute to our IVDD projects in 2022 such as the Cambridge Vet School conservative recovery study. You can watch the Cambridge webinars here.

Dachshund IVDD UK is a Facebook support and advice group. For many owners of dogs with IVDD, it’s a very stressful and emotional time, so we hope that they are able to get much-needed support from those who have been through the experience of an IVDD incident and others who have expertise in the subject. The group is a community of supportive owners and provides advice based on good science and practical experience of what works.
There are now over 10,000 members. Join the community here.
