The Debono’s

---

We’re a family of four with two little ones under two, sharing our home (and hearts) with our beloved miniature smooth and long-haired dachshunds — along with our rescue cat and rescue dog

Our journey in breeding and showing dachshunds comes from a deep love and respect for the breed. We breed first and foremost for ourselves, with a focus on preserving and improving the health, temperament, and structure of these wonderful dogs.

All of our dachshunds undergo comprehensive health screenings, genetic testing, and OFA certifications to ensure we’re contributing positively to the future of the breed.

We’re so excited to share our passion with others who love dachshunds as much as we do!

Tamara, Mark, & our children 

We are proud members of several respected dachshund organizations:

• Eastern Canada Dachshund Club – Member since 2021
   
• Dachshund Alliance of Southern Ontario – Secretary since 2024
   
• Dachshund Association of Canada – Member since 2025
   

Through our involvement in these clubs, we’ve developed a deep understanding of the dachshund’s unique temperament, behavior, Breed standard, and health needs. This knowledge allows us to contribute meaningfully to the improvement and preservation of the breed.

We are always eager to learn and stay current with new research, best practices, and educational opportunities — keeping an open mind and a lifelong commitment to responsible breeding and care.

We are dedicated to providing the best possible care for our dogs. Our puppies are raised in a loving, nurturing environment, and we work closely with new owners to ensure they have all the information and support they need to care for their new companion.

Our relationship with our dogs and their families doesn’t end when a puppy goes home — we’re always here to help with any questions or concerns, no matter how old your dog becomes. For us, this isn’t a one-time transaction; it’s a lifelong commitment to the well-being of every dog we raise.
