Welcome to Kilesands Kennel 

We live on Sydkoster, an island in the archipelago outside Strömstad, we breed short-haired Dachshunds for hunting. Here, we hunt Roe Deer, Fox, and Mink. Swimming and retrieving are part of everyday life here on the west coast.

Life is never boring with a Dachshund nearby!

Our Goal

To breed confident, stable dogs that perform just as well in hunting as in everyday life, and have a healthy body that lasts over time.

As a Bracke hunting dog, we want to see a good search, hear a clear and distinct, nuanced bark, as well as precise tracking work.

Planned Litter

We’re looking for someone ready for a loyal hunting partner and family companion!

If you're also interested in participating in trials, that's a bonus. For us, it’s helps us assess our breeding progress.

Puppies after SE J(D)CH Rekyls and FI J(D)CH SE J(D)CH Kilbyn´s Pehr.

Just like Juni, Kilbyn’s Pehr comes from well-documented and highly merited hunting lines. He holds both Finnish and Swedish hunting champion titles in drev (driven hunt trials), and has also been nominated for the Swedish Drev Championship (Drev-SM) 2025 by the Östsvenska Tax Club.

This pairing brings together two strong and promising bloodlines, making for an exciting upcoming litter. Breeding will take place during week 19, which means the puppies are expected to be ready for delivery around week 35/36.

Pehr is a powerful, robust, and resilient male with a stable temperament. He gets along very well with other dogs, people, and children. In the field, he is intense, enduring, alert, and full of energy. He has a strong independent drive, yet remains responsive and obedient. 

We are very happy to have the opportunity to use Pehr in this combination and believe he will be an excellent match for Juni. The inbreeding coefficient for this combination is 2.3%.

Juni has entered three driven hunt trials and earned three first prizes, making her a drev champion — a title we are very proud of. She is a calm and sensible female with excellent tracking ability, a clear and nuanced voice, and a strong sense of direction — she always finds her way back. She hunts roe deer, fox, hare, fallow deer, and mink with great enthusiasm. She also retrieves birds and mink in water — if she gets there before the Weimaraner!

Juni is our first driven hunting dog, and we did thorough research before choosing her. It was very important to us to select parents that were as healthy and complete as possible, with proven lines behind them — all to ensure the best possible future hunting companion. We were honored to be entrusted with Juni by Rekyls Kennel, and the rest is history.

If this sounds interesting, don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or for more information.

ABOUT US
We are Svante Nilsson and Sara Gille, and we live on Sydkoster, an island off the coast of Strömstad in Sweden, where we run both a construction company and a guesthouse.

We started our kennel in 1998 and have since bred some litters of Weimaraners. A few years ago, we realized that we were missing a hunting dog, so we chose the Dachshund – and it has been a perfect match! 

The Dachshund is a fantastic companion, both in the forest and at home, and we have truly found a breed that suits us.
