Our Association was formed in 1946 to encourage the ownership, exhibition and breeding of top quality dachshunds in the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire. We hold two Dachshund Shows each year; one in April/May and the second in October. Every third year, our Spring Show becomes a Championship Show where three of the six Dachshund breeds are offered Kennel Club Challenge Certificates.

Our current Membership subscriptions are :-

We have a General Meeting of Members each year in March or April, where all members are welcome to come along and let the Officers, Committee and other Members have their views on what our Association has achieved during the past year, and to offer suggestions as to what it might try to do in the future. The A.G.M. also gives everyone an opportunity to chat with old friends and to meet new people (but of course the main topic of conversation is always "Dachshunds"!)
