What is Pano? Pano is an inflammation of the bone, commonly referred to by vets as growing pains. They will outgrow this. The following site provides information on Pano:  http://www.vetinfo.com/dencyclopedia/depano.html   or you can check with your vet for further information. We guarantee all our dogs/puppies for health, hips, elbows and temperament in writing. #4. We only register our dogs with AKC (American Kennel Club) and in the next couple of months we will be dual registering our dogs with UKC (United Kennel Club), and our dogs are of the old German/American lines (no show lines). Be careful of other registries, the following website will explain why:   http://www.dachshundranch.com/AKC_vs_pet_registries.htm  (the only recognized and reputable kennel clubs are AKC (American Kennel Club) UKC (United Kennel Club) and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) and FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale ). There are several disreputable kennel clubs which have the same abbreviations as reputable clubs to make people think they are legit, so please watch out for them. For example: UKC (Universal Kennel Club which is a disreputable club). As you can see they use the same abbreviations as the reputable club such as United Kennel Club. When looking for a puppy please ask the breeders which kennel club they are registered with and watch out for the abbreviations.
