Who We Are
The human side of The Dacsy Shack
We are Carole and Martin Handley, AKA The Slaves. We are the owners of The Dacsy Shack and the guardians of Mia and Macy - until they find better slaves. We live in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear.
We fell in love with the Dachshund breed over 9 years ago. We eventually homed Mia, our black and tan baby.
After a few years we realised we couldn't just have one so the hunt was on. We wanted another one with Mia's great temperament, so we decided to breed her.
We of course kept one of her 3 pups and Macy became part of the family.
We are not breeders, we are Dachshund lovers so Mia and Macy are now both spayed. We keep in touch with the slaves of Mia's other pups, Frankie and Dexter.
Mia and Macy have totally different characters but their temperaments are the same, very loving and loyal but also very protective. Mia is Carole's baby and Macy is Martin's.
A Dachshund's eyesight isn't the greatest according to research, but trust me there is nothing wrong with their hearing, they can hear an ant fart from 100 metres and a crisp packet rustle from 200 metres.
We would like to thank Sarah and Jamie from Daxie Den for all their help and support from planning our adventure to facebook help and web page ideas and for allowing us to copy and paste! Without you we would have had an uphill struggle. THANK YOU!

A log cabin for when the weather is in our favour. Our home is located in Jarrow, Tyne & Wear. We have a couple of big grassy areas just 200 yards from our house which Mia and Macy enjoy exploring.
There are longer walks available to us.
