From just £5 a month you can sponsor a Medical Detection Dog puppy on their journey from a bundle of fur to a fully qualified Medical Detection Dog.
Hi I’m Dibble! I may be the smallest member of the MDD family but the impact my future career as a Bio Detection Dog could have on early disease diagnosis is huge.
Breed: Standard Wire-Haired Dachshund
Gender: Male
Colour: Wild boar
Likes: Cuddles, toys, MDD staff lanyards, paper
Dislikes: Not being able to go exploring with my doggy friends until I’m a bit older
Dibble has joined the MDD family as a future Bio Detection Dog and when he’s older, will earn to detect the odour of a disease such as cancer, Parkinson’s or bacterial infection. Even at an early age he has started playing fun scent games, learning to maximise his amazing nose without even realising it!
As soon as he was able to, Dibble started coming to The MDD training Centre and very quickly made himself at home. He is usually found curled up on a staff member’s lap of his choice in meetings and is often top of the attendee list! He is very inquisitive and grows in confidence each day. He is a thinker, and takes a moment before jumping into new things with all four paws but it never stops him. All of these combination of characteristics suggest that he will build a great relationship with his Trainers and enjoy using his nose.
Good luck Dibble!
By sponsoring Dibble today, you can help change lives, and be part of Dibble’s journey to becoming a life-saving Medical Detection Dog.

The difference a sponsor puppy can make
Elizabeth’s journey with PoTS has been a rocky one to say the least. She only appeared to have black out episodes whilst doing judo and used to get some kind of warning beforehand. As time passed she began to feel more unwell in day to day life; was always extremely tired and dizzy, ached constantly, and had frequent heart palpitations and chest pain. Her black outs also started happening more and more frequently without warning, and whilst doing daily activities, such as school, shopping or watching TV. Elizabeth also had a fair few bad injures and concussions from dropping suddenly. Henry and Elizabeth were partnered up and ready to give it a whirl in the real world. Elizabeth was blown away how much more relaxed, calm and safe her episodes were. Henry would alert, she’d sit down, and everything would run its course smoothly; no injuries or drama. With time his alerting became really strong and he hardly missed any episodes! Henry has allowed Elizabeth to take her independence back and start living! He’s her wet nosed knight in shining armour and she couldn’t be more grateful to him.
