DescriptionHarold is an exceptional stud dog, boasting confidence, experience, and a proven track record.
He is a stunning KC (Sorrel Dawn of Thorn) chocolate and tan smooth-coated miniature dachshund with an impressive lineage of 15 champions.
Harold was selected as a stud dog specifically due to his confirmation, exceptional breeding and health testing.
Hailing from Russian and Serbian lines, Harold brings a fresh new pedigree to the UK which will improve the breed and DNA pool.
Harold is open to breeding with both KC and non-KC registered dogs, and he excels with all temperaments. Whether it's maidens, nervous, excitable, or even grumpy ladies, Harold knows how to handle them all. As an experienced handler, I will be on hand to support the process. I can accommodate advanced bookings as well as last minute.
With fantastic confirmation, Harold is well-built, straight-backed, and the picture of health. He does not carry dapple, allowing for a wide range of colour matches.
His 0% COI inbreeding score is well below the breed average of 5.3%, and he has been extensively DNA tested for various hereditary conditions, all of which he is clear of. I can also carry out COI matching for KC registered dogs to ensure that Harold is a good match for your dog.
Harold's DNA tests have proven him to be free of;
Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA,
Narcolepsy,
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1 and 2, Osteogenesis Imperfecta,
Progressive Retinal Atrophy.
Harold is not a carrier for any testable genetic defects, meaning he can be mated to any dog that is clear or a carrier and the puppies will not be affected by any of the above.
With an impressive sperm count of 194 million per ml, Harold is of excellent quality and he is regularly tested to ensure optimal success rates.
Not only is Harold a top-notch stud, but he is also a beloved family dog. He adores children, exudes affection, and possesses that irresistible Dachshund charm. His love for kisses and cuddles knows no bounds.
Whether you prefer natural breeding or artificial insemination, the choice is yours, Harold is available for both.
Any associated fees are the responsibility of the owner, but I can help arrange AI services if needed.
In the event that your dog does not conceive on the first try, a complimentary repeat round will be offered in the next season, provided cytology or progesterone testing has been performed.
