The Mum:

Bred by Anna Bubovich, owned and loved by Sharon at MandalaDax
Lilu is Ch RO, Ch HR, Ch BiH, Ch FBiH, FCI CIE, BiH Autumn Winner ’23; she has also opened her Dutch and Belgian championships, hopefully to be closed after puppies. She has been 3x BIG, 3x BIG2, 2x BIG3; BPISS-1, 2x BPIS-2; 9x BOB, 2x BOS; 11x CAC, 7x CACIB; she’s been shown 30x, and was class winner 22x.
We are so proud of our Lilu who has a wonderful personality, is very sweet, loves all people and animals and is an easy dog at home. We are so excited that she is in pup as this is our fourth attempt to have a litter with her!
The Dad:
MandalaDax Dream Puptjie (Dreamer), Mini Smooth
(Eschio Odno Chudo iz Mishkinogo Doma x Dachshaus Yesterday at MandalaDax)
Dreamer is our own breeding. He is Ch RO, Ch MNE, Ch HR, Ch BiH, Ch FBiH, Ch BE, FCI CIE. Dreamer matured during Covid, which has shaped how he is as an adult. He was never shown as a junior, as I took 17 months off of showing during the lockdowns. In his 3 shows in minor puppy, he was BBIS-3 in Croatia and selected for the last six in his other two shows, so pre-Covid he had good fun in the ring and seemed to enjoy it. As an adult, post-Covid, and starting out in Open class as he was already over 2 years old, he’s been Best in Group-2 at an international show, and 6x Best of Breed, he’s also had 9x Best Opposite Sex. Dreamer is simply not a show boy, he doesn’t love the ring; he’d prefer to stay at home, hanging out in the garden or on the sofa, or playing with the puppies. At 6.5 years old, he is retired and we won’t be bringing him out in Veteran Class, he would just rather hang out at home and we are just fine with that. Not every dog is like Yestie, Bombur and Hermes, and loves to show off in the ring. We’re hoping his puppies are more like young Dreamer in the ring! But he’s got a lovely attitude towards life at home and is an easy boy here and loves visitors and good cuddles. If his puppies have that attitude, they will be wonderful companions. Rosie, from his litter with Tinie, has really enjoyed her first show as a baby, and really enjoyed running around and meeting people.
Both Dreamer and Lilu are clear by DNA of PRA Cord1 and PRA; both carry the chocolate gene, so Black and Tan puppies as well as Chocolate and Tan puppies are possible. By DNA, Dreamer is N/CDDY, Lilu is CDDY/CDDY; N/CDDY seems to highly correlate with back scores or 0 and 1, and we believe it will make back issues less likely. This is still an evolving effort to understand how to decrease the risks of IVDD, and we are hoping we can be part of that effort, as we have several N/CDDY dachshunds here.
At the scan on day 36 post-mating, there were three puppies visible with strong heartbeats; at this point it’s unlikely that there are more than three puppies as we would have seen them – but it’s not impossible. We hope that all three puppies we saw today will be born happy and healthy around 8-10th October. We are over the moon that Lilu, on her fourth attempt, is carrying puppies!!!
This will be our “J” litter and the first litter carrying the MandalaDax affix in the Netherlands.
If you’d like to be on the waiting list, please send me an email or a message! We have one family on the list already.
