It's going to depend on when she ovulated - unless you did progestrone tests to pinpoint it exactally, you probably should figure it will be any time from 58 days after the first breeding to 65 after the last one. Hope you have the vacation time to take that all off, since you need to be there (VERY important).....
as for how many - my crystal ball is busted - try getting an ultrasound - they are getting quite accurate....

A dog of any breed/mix is pregnant for 57 -67 days with the average being 63 days. As to number in litter it is hard to say..it can be as few as 1 to as many as 5-6.
Now as for breeding...delibrately breeding mixes is irresponsible. Breeding without basic knowledge of breeding, whelping, newborn care, etc is extremely irresponsible. Breeding your dog will put her at a high risk of complications including death.
You also need to become familiar with genetic problems in the Chihuahua breed as well as the Dachshund breed since you could encounter problems.
Also the correct spelling of the mix you have is Chihuahua/Dachshund and it is litter not batch.

spay her please,,, unless she is a show dog and has been deemed to be of superior quality and fit for breeding in order to promote the gene pool of chihuahuas..... do not maked mixed breeds.... dogs should not be bred til after age 2 ( that way all health tests can be completed on both parents) she could probably die giving birth unless you have a c-section planned....... why do you want to be a puppymill impersonator?

if she is a younger dog, her first litter will probably be very small. 1-2 puppies most likely.

Lord give me strength! You can't even spell the dog's name, and you intend to breed her! Get her spayed, for heaven's sake, and don't add to the number of unwanted animals already here.
