I DO NOT WANT TO BREED THESE DOGS, NOR WOULD I SELL THE PUPPIES. I think people who use animals to make their money, primary income is distasteful, get a real job.

Short answer: No
Long answer :
You gotta see the happiest doxie, Tabby. She loves life.

Then there's laid back Clark. This doxie enjoys the simplest things.

What these two doxies have in common is a genetically inherited disc disease (IVDD). They went thru a lot of pain when the disc ruptured. It took 6 weeks of bed rest (ha! trying doing that with a dog). Now their owners who love them dearly devote extra time in caring for their special needs furbabies.
Because doxies have genetics to predispose them to slipped disc problems (IVDD) it is so important that reputable breeders understand and endeavor to breed correctly to eliminate this horrible disease in their litters. I just read that 1 in four doxie pups get IVDD! Who knows how many doxie mix pups. How can this possibly be?
Reputible breeders keep track of traits, which generation had what and breed only when the pedigree (a list of the dog's ancestors) indicates a good healthy pup, meeting the breed's standards will be produced. Skillfull breeding is a profession not a hobby as you can see. It takes a lot of work and knowledge. That is why so many doxie pups from "backyard" breeders inherit IVDD. The symptoms for IVDD unfortunately do not typically show up til 4-6 years old. By then a backyard breeder who doesn't keep track of genetics doesn't know what they are breeding.

Can you say yes to these ten reason to breed your doxie/beagle pup?

Make sure you have a copy of this important document in *your* pup's folder. In case of emergency you need to know ahead of time what the symptoms are to avoid paralysis. It's hard to think clearly when your pup is hurting, so having this info handy will help you make good decisions and quickly.

yes they can but you need to be careful since the male is the larger. It's usually the male that determines the size of pups and are you ready for the c-section. Also you may want to check into the laws as far as possibly getiing rid of the pus at 8 weeks old.
Also to breed correctly ends up costing as pups should have at least their first shots and wormings done plus the extra food. not to mention if there is an emergency c-section so please really consider what you might be getting into

Freedom thats the funniest answer I've ever seen!!!
NO you shouldn't breed these dogs. There already too many mixed breed dogs in shelter waiting for their new familys. Geeze!

CONSIDER this your female is alot smaller than the male.
If you let them breed she could quite possibly have big puppies to deliver and maybe even a C-section.
So think carefully before the breeding or ask your vet for advice.

Of course they could, but they never should. The health problems you will end up with in the litter would be so horrendous that you would likely get sued by anyone who bought one of the puppies...

Yeah of course, I have seen a chihuhua and a great dane mateing. The great dane laid down so the little guy could get to her. You should really think about it before ou decided to let them mate. A litter of puppies are alot of expense and alot of time.

Take your right hand and stick your index finger straight up and your thumb straight out to the left then hold it up to your forehead and look in the mirror.
