Since there are all these popular new "breeds" what do you think I could call them. I want to get in on the quick cash everyone is making on the new designer dogs and I think doxie/shepherd crosses will be awesome. Also do you think it would hurt my Dachshund to have the Shepherd puppies? My Dachshund(mother) is 11 pounds and my Shepherd is 88 pounds. Is 5 weeks too early to find them homes? I forgot to ask how much should I charge for my awesome new puppies? And I really need a name for this new breed. For all of you telling me not to breed stop it becasue I am only going to breed her one time ....... after another and then I will keep a female pup to start over with. I am not in this for the money I love my dogs and I just want others to have an affordable puppy.
Answer:OOhhhhhhhhhh, I want one! I was thinking of breeding my Shih Tzu with a Jack Russell. That way people here will start to know Jack Shih, since obviously most of them don't!!!!
I have a Chihuahua and a Chi-weenie (part Dachshund and part Chihuahua). But now I want a full Miniature Dachshund. But first I need to no if it will evan fit through the small dog door I have right now. So please help me by telling me the average height and weight of an adult Miniature Dachshund. Some of you are confused. When I said "tall" I meant from the bottom of its front paw to the top of its head not from its tail to its nose.
Answer:Ok, I'm sorry to break it to you... but there is no such thing as a miniature dachshund. Regular Dachsunds are small enough, there is no such thing.
Ive been looking into adopting a dachshund lately but i noticed theres such thing as a miniature one too! What is the difference in size? Do they look like puppies forever? Can anyone tell me some of the differnces btw the two thank you : )
Answer:There are two different kinds of Dachshunds. The regular, and the miniature. The regular Dachshund is 14-18 inches tall and weighs 20 pounds when full grown. The Miniature Dachshund can get up to 14 inches tall and can get up to weighing 9 pounds. Dachshunds look pretty much the same when they're older, just there is a difference in size, of course.
