Dachshunds

About 30 percent are kept as pets and the other 70 percent are used to work. The main jobs are Guide Dogs, Police Dogs and Sheep Dogs.

There are 209 different types of dogs know in America and the number is getting bigger and bigger each year.

The three most popular dogs are:

1. Retriever (Labrador)

2. Yorkshire Terriers

3.German Shepherds

then depending on who is dominant you would get mostly the dominant breed and little of the other. probably in the second generation you would get more of the other.

The Standard Dachshund should reach between 8 and 11 inches at the shoulder and weigh over 11 pounds when the Dog is 12 months old.

Well, it depends. The original dog was the standard dachshund then the mini. Find out more at doxie.com

My Mini is 3 years old... and it seems to have lasted her on average 3 weeks from beginning to end. Hope this helps! My Mini is 3 years old... and it seems to have lasted her on average 3 weeks from beginning to end.

2 Years Old

Dachshunds can be any colorr such as Black and Brown (My dogs color), plain Black, plain Brown, Dapple which is a grey and black and brown mix, or a reddish color.

Hope this helps! :)

The poodle i created last time survived for 2 days under my strict supervision. I made sure that i personally served the poodles to everyone. Everyone enjoyed my poodle and asked me my poodle's secret ingredients.

Find yourself a mentor who's been involved in the breed for at least 10 or 15 years. Need to know what to look for in a mentor? Check out my article on what makes a good breeder - http://www.noselicks.com/ The same things that makes a breeder good, will also make them a good example to follow and a good mentor to learn from.

You should ALWAYS feed and treat miniature dogs just like any other dog, if you have a big dog and a mioniature dog and you start treating the miniature dog special and the big dog normal the miniature dog will get cocky and the big dog will feel left out and mostly likely try and copy the miniature dog or worse, try and kill it, or injure it.

== == A Bluemation? A Dalheeler? Blue Heelers were crossed with Dalmatians in the late 19th century to improve their relationship with horses (horses, like people, do not like getting their heels nipped). This is why heelers are born-white, and why some of them are rather spotty. See the related link. So a blue heeler-dalmatian cross would be a slightly more dalmatiany-heeler. But what about a red heeler dalmatian cross? a redalmatian?

Could be allergies. If you are referring to a something that sounds like a cross between coughing and choking it's probably what is referred to a 'reverse sneezing'. Mine do that when they drink water too fast, something to do with a flap in their throat. When it is bad, what I do, and works although it sounds weird, is wrap your hand around their snoot and blow air into their nose (don't blow at their nose, blow into it...not too hard though, it'll make them fart....just kidding, but really not too hard. Just a couple of short puffs seems to do the trick), it flips the flap back the right way.

They can, but i dont recommend it, the dachshund puppies, should stay with the mother dachshund.

If you are looking to get a registered purebred Dachshund puppy you are looking at about $500. Now if it would happen to be one of the more sought after colors it will cost you more. But there are Dachshund rescue sites that offer them from $100 - $350 each depending on the age of the dog. Keep in mind that the rescue pets are not registered.

If you are trying to breed a dog then it should be at least 3 years old, so it is an adult and ready to breed.

The Dachshund is an easily recognisable breed with a long body and very short legs. They are usually either black and tan, blonde, brown or dapple grey and Miniatures are only a few inches tall at the shoulder. They have hound-like ears and long tails. They come in three different coat varieties: Longhaired, Shorthaired and Wirehaired.

that's strange, dogs are highly intelligent and don't usually pee where they sleep. Did u let it out? is there another dog that uses that cage? Try letting it out more and if there is another dog using it, then get it one of its own ASAP!

Back Problems

Most breeds, including Dachshunds, have a season (or heat) every six months which lasts for 10-14 days.

Yes. But if there realted there puppys are likely to have health issues so i dont recomend breeding animals that come from the same mother.

yorkies don't weigh that much when grown!however if one did,by dog growth rates,it would weigh about 600 pounds..........

They should only way up to 12 pounds. They can't gain that much weight. 12 pounds is even on the fat scale. Make sure your yorkie stays nice and healthy to maintain full body growth.

A male can breed all his life and a female can if she till has cycles but I don't suggest it.

Puppies typically do not experience a heat cycle until they are older, usually around six months of age. When a female dog goes into heat, she may bleed for about 7 to 10 days. The bleeding can vary in intensity and duration depending on the individual dog. After the heat cycle, the bleeding should stop, and she will not bleed again until her next heat cycle, which occurs approximately every six months.

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.
