About Us
Brenda Howell- began in dachshunds in 1972 and registered the Kamahi prefix in 1974. I began with a miniature smooth from Dartlowe kennels and then later a standard smooth bitch from the same breeder. This bitch was sired by Ch, Romalo Wringleader who was behind a lot of the top winning dogs of the time including Ch. Millewa Monarch.
The first litter bred by Kamahi in 1975, produced Ch Kamahi Kerri an in group, in show, and Royal Challenge winner.
Other successful dogs over the years have been Ch. Kamahi Krackerjack, Ch. Kamahi Bridget, Ch. Kamahi Sweet Charity, Ch. Kamahi Kolby, Ch. Kamahi Missionary Man. Ch. Kamahi Kristine won Royal Melbourne bitch challenge from the junior class and then went to western Australia where she was one of the top winning smooths.

Ch. Kamahi Amelia Jane, who featured on the front cover of the VCA calendar, 2007, was a favourite, both for her conformation and temperament.
In miniatures Ch. Kamahi Alice and Ch. Kamahi Mistified stand out as both were in group and in show winners.
