 |
|
| I received this dog as a Christmas gift but did not get papers on her. I would like to breed her eventually but would like to get her registered first. Any advice on how to do so?? |

| If her parents aren't AKC registered, you can't register her. So unless you can get the papers from the original breeder, get her spayed.Any "registry" that would give you papers for an unknown-heritage dog is a worthless scam that's only out to take your money (Continental Kennel Club, APRI, ACA, etc, etc, etc). |

| Please do not breed. Do a quick search on Dachshund rescue and see how many homeless Dachshund there are. Plus as a dapple you have to be really careful about breeding. If you do not have papers now you can not register her. The papers come with the puppy. |

| You would have to get the registration papers from the breeder. Only they have the legal authority to make them out for you. |

| If you don't have her AKC registration, she's not registered and can't be. The AKC is the ONLY legitimate registry in the U.S., the others are made up organizations used by puppy mills and back yard breeders to register their dogs - it is meaningless and you couldn't show the dog in any AKC sanctioned matches.You have a "full blooded dapple" - that's pretty chancy to begin with, the dapple mutation carries a lot of genetic problems and if you ever bred your dapple with another dapple (or even a dachsie with a dapple gene not showing) you would get puppies that are blind, have no eyes and are deaf. We just took one into our rescue with one blue eye, a dapple, completely deaf. I don't know what you were told, but dapple is neither rare nor desirable.You can't research the bloodline of your dog since you don't have papers on her sire and dam, you obviously are not planning to show her since she's not registered, and you would need to have extensive genetic testing done to be sure she is healthy as far as bloodline goes.You could just breed her to whatever other dachsie you find or buy and become another irresponsible back yard breeder with no concern what the pups will be like or how you use your little dachsie and subject her to the dangers of breeding - but I truly hope you will not do that.There is a great deal to breeding properly, it is expensive, time consuming and you never make money at it - if you breed for the good of the breed. There are so many homeless dachshund that the world certainly does not need more until all the ones in shelters, rescues, kill shelters, or on the street starving, find homes.Think about it - adopt another dachsie if that's what you want, but don't make more."Full blooded" is absolutely meaningless as far as reason to breed her is concerned. All the homeless dachshunds I have rescued and fostered were full blooded too - many had AKC pedigrees, they were homeless anyway.Get her spayed, let her be a healthy, good pet and enjoy your little girl. |

| Do you have a really good reason for wanting to breed her? Have you done any health testing? I'm not talking about you taking her to the vet for a regular exam and making sure she has her shots. Do you know what health issues are problematic in the breed? Any idea what IVDD is? Are you aware of the study on vaccination induced allergic reactions in Dachshunds? Are you familiar with bloat? Dachshunds are a deep chested breed. CERF testing would be necessary to rule out PRA. Are you aware of the risks involved when breeding a dapple? Deafness, partially deaf, reduced eye size and missing eyes are not uncommon...Are you going to breed her if you don't get papers? Be a responsible pet owner, love your pup for life and not for what she can produce for you .... |

| Breeding dachshunds can be tricky. If you don't have the papers or know the pedigree of your dog, I wouldn't breed her. If she's a mini, you need to know that she's a 'true' mini coming from a line that breeds true, or you'll end up with a small doxie trying to have large pups.As far as the dappling, single dapples don't have a problem, it's when you breed dapple to dapple that causes deformities such as under developed eyes or deafness. Dapple is a gene that either presents itself, or doesn't, the gene is not carried. But there can be dapples that hardly have any dappling, or fade out to solid that are mistakened for solids and bred to another dapple, causing the pups to end up with major problems.http://www.starlightkennel.com/Dapple.htmlI could go on and go with other defects that dachshunds carry, but I think you know where this is leading.If you want to get into breeding, do some research on the breed, genetics, and ethics of breeding first, so many things can and do go wrong! |

| Go to the continental kennel club website. You can download papers to register her there. |
