The Breed Council was set up to continue and advance the work of The UK Dachshund Forum which had been in existence for 10 years. The Forum was set up initially to allow Dachshund Breed Clubs to coordinate Show Dates and Judging Lists. The work of the Forum in latter years developed to look at Health and Welfare issues, Judges Education and other issues relevant to the breed. In 2007, all 19 UK Dachshund Breed Clubs agreed to form a Breed Council and work together for the good of the breed.
