Will a medium sized dog kill a small dog if they are bred together?

Question

We have a miniature dachshund and shepard (mixed). We were wondering if bred together, will the dachshund die because of the size difference?

Answer 1

if the female is the dachsund then there is that possibility as the pups would be too large for her carry to term, and she would not be able to birth the puppies cause of there size, do not breed dogs!!!!!!!!!!!
its not smart to breed any dogs unless you are a reputable breeder knowing what your doing.

Answer 2

Dumbest dog we ever had, don't take it wrong, we loved him dearly, was a black lab/cocker spaniel mix. His mom was the cocker, and yes, she was just fine giving birth to those funny looking, large black puppies with the short little cocker legs. The daddy lab was a very large lab, over 100 lbs. It was not really a good idea, because I think every one of those puppies were dumber than dirt. They were cute, and all got adopted, but not a brain cell in the group. Some things just should not happen. The mix you're describing doesn't sound all too attractive either. Then there's the predisposition shepherds have to hip displasia and the dashshund's extremely short legs and long torso, and it could just breed some very pain filled dogs who spend their lives with severe leg pain. And yes, our big, long, short-legged stupid dog did suffer a lot of leg pain thru the years, was on quite a few meds for it and finally could barely walk. Putting a big body on those little short legs is just a very bad idea.

Answer 3

It's unlikely that being bred would kill the one dog.. Cause IF they can do it, then it'll likely be fine. I would worry about when the miniature daschund tried to whelp the litter.. The puppies might be too big and you risk her death... You would likely need to see the vet for a c-section.
Spay / neuter your PETS, a mini dashund and a shepherd x?? What is it you expect to produce?

in no way ever leave your toddler on my own with any animal. era. end of tale. in no way ever leave a small toddler on my own with any animal. era. end of tale. No excuse. not for a 2nd.

Our 2 cats will combat. it particularly is usual. they're like little ones in that way. Siblings combat. Does the dogs combat with different canines? 2 canines that stay at the same time - they'll play - they'd have spats - one is exhibiting dominance to the different - it rather is the comparable with cats - there's a pecking order.

Why would it die? Also why would you want to breed a mutt? Have you done genetic tests to make sure they will provide healthy tempered dogs? So many questions that you probibly haven't asked. No it won't die any more than you would die if you encountered a huge............
