Count the dog's nipples, and subtract 1. This is the rule of thumb for all mammals.

Actually my dachshund just had puppies and she had eight nipples and had eight puppies, so I don't think that is always the rule of thumb.

Although most Dog's come into season (or heat) twice a year from being a year old, you should never allow a Dog to become pregnant more than two or three times in a lifetime. Nor should a Dog be mated before it has had at least two seasons. Allowing a Dog to have more than 2 or 3 litters in it's lifetime may result in physical and psychological damage to the mother and the puppies will be weaker. It is cruel to allow a Dog to have more than this many litters.

The absolute maximum amount of times that you should breed from a dog (regardless of the breed) is three times in its life. Pregnancy and birth can be stressful and places a large strain on the mother. It would be unhealthy both physically and mentally for you to breed a Dachshund more than this.
