Breeding from your Dachshund – advice from the Breed Council

We’re often asked for advice on breeding so we have put together a new page that provides links to relevant articles we have published and other useful resources.

Many of these are already on our Health website as a lot of the considerations are health-related such as what DNA screening tests should you do before breeding.

Here are some of the resources listed:

• Should I breed from my Dachshund bitch?
• Should I use my Dachshund dog at stud?
• Dachshund whelping and fertility
• Understanding genetics and genetic diversity
• Colour and health – Double Dapple, Piebald, Blue and Isabella
• Double Trouble! Can you spot the Dapple Dachshund?
• The genetics of Dachshund coat and colour (pdf)
• Should we breed with Carriers? (pdf)
• The Popular Sire effect – the risks of over-using stud dogs

For the full list of links and more, please visit Breeding from your Dachshund.
