Prefix : DACHSHAR (Dachshund (Miniature Long Haired))

Dachshar Kennels, nestled 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, known for his work with Shar Pei. As a boutique kennel, we prioritise quality over quantity in our breeding programme, producing a maximum of two litters total per year. We typically limit each bitch to three litters over their lifetime, though more often it is only two. Michelle has been a member of Dogs Tasmania since 2010, while Walter has been involved with our governing body since 2000 with Michelle having been a devoted owner of Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds since 2016, beginning her journey in the show ring with the breed in 2015 and launching her breeding program in 2019. Walter welcomed the breed into his life in 2022, and since then, they have truly captured his heart. Under the Adstaff prefix, Michelle has enjoyed considerable success in both competitions and breeding. Our commitment is to produce healthy dogs with excellent temperaments, strong conformation, and graceful movement. To maintain the highest standards, all our dogs undergo comprehensive DNA health testing for all genetic conditions associated with their breed. As a close-knit family with nine children between us, we often have our grandchildren over, ensuring that all of our dogs are well socialised and great with kids.

Prefix : DACHSHAR (Dalmatian)

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.
