Our puppy is called a black and tan, dappled, smooth-haired dachshund. It has a little bit of white on the chest. It also has white on the back toes. Some of the claws are white. It's nose is black. I has one blue eye and one dark eye. Can this be a double dappled because of the white? It isn't a lot of white, just the bit on the chest and back toes. But I read that no reputable breeder would breed their dog with a double dappled. If we do breed her, I know we shouldn't breed her with another dappled. I also read not to breed her with a red one. Is a black one ok? Any info you have is going to help a lot, as we are new dachshund owners. We'd only like to breed her once.

This is a great website about double dappling:

You would need to look at her pedigree and find out if both of her parents were dapple. It takes two dapple parents to produce a double dapple. Or a double dapple bred to a dapple to produce one. The white you are speaking of could just be a mismark pattern and mean nothing more then patches of white on her. It could also mean she carries for the piebald gene. So the first thing I would suggest is to call the breeder you bought her from and ask that person if perhaps both her parents are dapple. Also if you do breed her you want to make sure you breed her to a solid colored dachshund. Either a black & tan or a choc & tan dachshund would work good. You can also ask the stud owner if either one of his parents are dapple to make sure the stud is not a hidden dapple. If you go to this website at this link and to half way down the page you can read what a true double dapple is.

So you need to do some reasearch and good luck. Even if she is a double dapple if bred to a solid dachshund there should be nothing to worry about.

With what it can cost to whelp puppies it would be cheaper and easier for you to buy another doxie pup. With a double dapple breeding you need to have some knowledge of genetics and you would have to know what is in the potential sires background. If breeding is done without knowledge you could have malformed, blind or deaf pups and some of the problems the pups could have might not even show up until the puppy has matured. It just isn't worth it to take the chance, so do the right thing and spay your dog.

First of all your dachshund is a smooth COAT. You know nothing about your own breed but yet you want to breed it? Before you do, go to your local animal shelter and look at all the dogs that are there and will not see the sunrise the next day. By putting more puppies into the world you are condemning them. Do the dog world a favor and have your dog altered and leave the breeding to experts that do it for altruistic reasons.

Unless your puppy is a show-quality Dachshund purchased from a reputable hobby breeder, you shouldn't breed her at all. It's best to have her spayed before her first heat so you can help curb the pet-overpopulation problem, as well as protect her health. Spaying with reduce the chances of or prevent entirely many deadly conditions, including cancer, uterine infection and behavioral issues.
If you really have your heart set on breeding your dog, talk to a hobby breeder about showing her to her Championship title so you can be sure she is an excellent example of her breed. Then, work closely with this breeder to see if she will mentor your efforts to breed your dog. Breeding can be an expensive and difficult experience, especially if your dog requires a C-section.

do no longer...I repeat...do no longer, breed those canine. initially you in no way, Ever mixture longhair and tender. in no way. you will get one funky coat. 2nd, you in no way, Ever mate dapple with dapple. this might produce double dapple domestic dogs that are blind and deaf. So, is this what you opt for to offer, sick domestic dogs? I assure you that in case you breed this 2 coat varieties at the same time, you will get sick domestic dogs which you will might desire to have euthanized. No, i won't be in a position to be effective. i'm going to be direct. i'm sorry, i do no longer believe that all and sundry your doing is study for a type. i believe you think of which you will make some funds of your breeding and promote them for extra funds and as uncommon, yet what they actually would be is deformed. you will be sued in court docket for promoting deformed domestic dogs. Spay and neuter your dachshunds. in case you opt for funds, get a job.

Why do you want to breed your dog?
Please spay her and enjoy her as your pet!
Breeding puppies is expensive, time consuming and should be left in the hands of professionals. If you do not know the basics of breeding your dog already you should just leave it.
You need to know the genetic history of your dog for multiple generations in order to breed responsibly.
Go to any shelter you and will find many dashchunds. Do you think we need more in the shelters?

There is no reasson to breed her.
also are you planning on dooing all teh genetic testing to make sure the pups will be healthy as the do carry health risk that are generic and should be tested for before breeding. Are you prepared for a possible c_section and have you checked into th laws of selling teh pups??
Where I live you have to give a health waurantee adn teh vet has to give shots and worming before teh pups are sold.
It is really best for them to be spayed at 5-6 months and not have a litter.
There's realy a lot to breed correctly.

Why do you want to breed her? There is no money to gain (you'll spend plenty on trips to the vet for pre-natal and post-natal care), you'll need to get the puppies vaccinated and wormed, AND you'll have to find RESPONSIBLE owners for the puppies. Unless your dog has its champion title through the AKC, AND the male has the same, people will not spend alot of money on the puppies. Before you decide to breed her, think about all of the dogs that are in rescue groups and shelters because the people wanted to breed their dog "JUST ONCE". Also think about the risks to your dog... are you willing to risk her life for a litter of puppies?

Please do not breed her. I won't repeat all the persuasive comments above. Just please do not do it.
Even breeding single dapples is dangerous.
And there is the overwhelming pet overpopulation problem.
And there is the overwhelming dachshund overpopulation problem. Every rescue I know of is always full of dachshunds needing homes.
And there is the problem of dachshund genetics, which could lead to additional proliferation of health problems / back problems in the breed.
Enjoy your sweet baby, just give her all the love you have!
