Thank you Julie Hamilton and Niels Reuvers such wonderful care and attention in showing Frankie - Aust Ch Markwell Kiwi Charisma (Imp NZ) in Australia. I could not be more thrilled with how she has performed for you both in Australia, receiving her Championship title and now acknowledgment of her scenting work. Was very impressed to see and touched to receive her medal from the Dachshund Club of Queensland confirming her confirmation title. What a very nice touch. Nothing gives you more joy than seeing your hard efforts in breeding and supporting the breed. Well done and thank you again Julie and Niels. Just love following Frankies journey in OZ.

Breeding and showing dogs is an art and I have so enjoyed the journey and then being able to help others also in 2025. Super thrilled with the Miniature Dachshund Smooth Point Score 2025 across New Zealand, it has been a real team, effort and I cannot thank, Savi, Cherie, Martina and Soli enough for their support in the show ring in 2025. There have been excellent breed numbers and strong competition in the breed throughout the year.

UPDATE - George now has a new home. His new Dad is now retired and looking forward to spending his days out and about with George, going for walks and watching TV. Thank you to all those that showed interest. His new owners previously had a Markwell Mini Smooth Dachshund that passed away due to old age.

“George” At Markwell Kennels is looking for his forever home. George is a 3 year old mini smooth dachshund. He is a gentle boy who just wants to please. We are looking to rehome George with a couple of conditions. If you are interested in owning George then please contact Robert Manning at Markwell Kennels.
