breeding long hair with short hair dogs.. what is the result?
We have an AKC / CKC registered miniature black and tan female daschund. I want to get a male long hair red daschund.
What would be the result of breeding the two in terms of hair length? Would the puppies either have long or short hair, medium length hair, or possible long and short hair on the same dog?
What would be the color options? I am thinking some red and some black and tan. How do you get dapple?
Also, does either the CKC or AKC frown on this?

Yes I am a hobby breeder, and yes I am doing it for extra money. I understand the "pro breeders" may frown on this, but even the pro breeders started were I am today so don't be a hipocrite. I am a responsible adult and am not out to flood the world with homeless dogs. I purchased my dog for my wife. I don't care about her bloodline and I don't believe in paying thousands of dollars for champion inbred bloodlines. I want to breed and sell these cool little dogs to common dog lovers like myself. Not for show, not for bragging rights, simply for companionship as it should be. So please back off.

Dogs carry genetic traits normally for 4 generations. If your short hair carries the long hair gene in the 4 generation, the result would be 1 out of 4 would have long hair. Short hair is dominant. Also black & tan is a dominant color. If your black & tan is solidly black & tan for 4 generations, you probably will only have black & tans. Dapple is a separate gene that if both parents carry the gene, they might produce it. Remember that coat and colors are only a tiny part of breeding for high quality puppies. And ask yourself if you could stand losing your female from the prenancy as it can happen. It is really better to purchase what you want and spend the next 10 years going to dog shows and educating yourself on the breed before taking the step. Best of Luck.
In terms of hair length, short hair is dominant. It depends on the genetics of the parents. If the mother is homozygous short haired, all the puppies will be heterozygous short haired. If the mother is heterozygous short haired, there's a 50% chance the puppies will have short hair, and 50% the puppies will have long hair.
Yes. If you bred two different colors, you may get both colors. Dapple also depends on the genes of the dog. If they carry the dapple gene, they may have puppies that are dapple.
I'm not sure whether the AKC or CKC frowns upon this as I'm not a breeder. However, I must agree with others who have said that you should do more research. Do you show or work your dog? Has she had all proper genetic tests completed (OFA, CERF, PennHip, etc.)? What qualities does she have to contribute to the breed? Is she a great example of the breed? What makes her a good dog to breed? Do you have a mentor? Is she at least 2 years old? Does she have excellent bloodlines? Do you have an emergency fund with at least $1,000 in it in case anything comes up? Have you done months upon months of research? Have you carefully planned your first litter, and carefully screened and lined up potential homes? Have you made a contract stating that all puppies are to be fixed at 5-6 months of age, and if at any time in the dog's life they can't be kept by their owners, they go right back to you? Do you have a guarantee stating that the puppy will be free of genetic problems for at least 2 years?
There are so many factors that come into breeding than just coat length and color. There are other things you must consider. I'm sure you're trying to breed responsibly, but it sounds like you need to research and learn more before you can do that. There are so many poorly bred Dachshunds out there. You should be striving to improve the breed. Please consider getting her spayed. Take the time to learn more about breeding, start showing or working Dachshunds, then get a quality breeding pair to start.
Go to akc or ckc requirements on internet or call them they can tell you what to expect from them an which is the best to show an breed. Also I took a genetics course at UofL. Depends if you know the history of the mother an father an how far back. as far as the long an short hair aspects thats a touch an go. most likely you will get long or short never actually seen then with med hair. that can depend on history of parents an genetics like hair folicals.
Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU9Sm
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.
