Ok, what is the reason you want to breed? Are you prepared to take your female in to the vet for checkups all through her pregnancy? Dachshunds are my love! Especially minis and in my eyes, if you don't show your dogs and have chapmions then DO NOT breed! There are way too many mini dachshunds in shelthers and other rescue groups for someone to be breeding more, especially when you ask a question like you did. I am not trying to be mean, rude, or anything else but I just do not think you should breed. What if she has to have an emergency c-section? Are you prepared for all the costs of breeding her? The puppies will need to be taken to the vet after born, the mother many times before the puppies are even born, the mother also after they are born, vaccines for the puppies, worming the puppies, and much more!! Are you prepared to do this, b/c this is what a true, good dog breeder does. The sire, or father, will also need to have health testing done before breeding and lots more as well. Ok, well, I am going to stop now but you really need to think about this more. I apoligize if you do show your dog and have already had her health tested for any genetic type defects that could be there you don't know about. I just love dachshunds and I don't like to hear of irresponsible breeding of any dog. So please don't take any of this the wrong way, I am just trying to help.
