What is Line breeding? Line Breeding is considered an art form by some of the most elite Dog Breeders in the world. Line Breeding is a term used when two dogs that are related to one another are bred together. Most commonly this will be a father/daughter or a grandfather/granddaughter.

It is the concept that the two dogs bred together will each have at least one different parent and therefore..
Dachshund Heat Cycles and when to expect them Before you entertain the idea of breeding your Mini Dachshund you will need to know when to plan for her heat cycles. A female Dachshund should have her first dog heat cycle between 6-8 mths. You should NEVER breed your female on her first heat. It is somewhat common knowledge that small breed dogs can be bred when they are a year old. But, this is not always the case. It’s just a rule of thumb. If your Dachshund doesn’t have her first heat cycle until she is 11 months, then you wouldn’t want to breed her. There is a lot more than age to consider when asking yourself if you should breed your doxie.

Proper Nutrition for breeding dachshunds What kind of dog food do you choose for your breeding dogs? Proper nutrition for breeding dachshunds is a major factor in producing good healthy puppies and having good healthy dogs! There is almost nothing that you can do for your adult dogs or their puppies that is more important than the food you feed them. When you are feeding adult dogs that are meant to be bred, they have different nutritional needs than your typical house pet. Because our pampered house pets are generally spayed/neutered and lain upon our couch. Not that a breeding dog is any less loved, but they will need nutritional support to be able to produce healthy puppies and remain healthy themselves.
