Dachshar Kennels, situated in the heart of Tasmania, was founded in 2023 following the marriage of Michelle Booth, formerly of Adstaff Kennels, and Walter Baxter, formerly of Axasash Kennels.
As a boutique kennel, we prioritise quality over quantity, producing a maximum of two litters total per year within our kennel. Typically, we breed a maximum of three litters per bitch over their lifetime, though more often it is only two. Michelle has been a dedicated member of Dogs Tasmania since 2010 and has owned Dalmatians since 2002. She began showing and breeding Dalmatians in 2010, achieving significant success under the Adstaff prefix. Her focus is on breeding healthy dogs with outstanding temperaments, strong conformation, and graceful movement—traits essential for ensuring our Dalmatians remain sound well into their senior years.
Walter became actively involved with Dalmatians in April 2022 when he and Michelle began their relationship. He quickly developed a love for the breed, although he had previously assisted Michelle in showing her Dalmatians while also showcasing his Shar Pei. Together, they share a deep commitment to the wellbeing of all their dogs.
As a close-knit family, we often have our grandchildren over, ensuring that all our dogs are well socialised and great with children. To uphold the highest standards, all dogs undergo comprehensive DNA health testing prior to being bred, ensuring a healthy future for each puppy.
