how to tell if my newborn dachshund are full blooded.

Question
I have a grey dabble mini dachshund who just had puppies. We are unsure if our white piebole male mini dash is the father, because a mini pincher got in our fence and hooked up with my girl. How can I tell if my puppies are full blooded. we have one girl who is grey dabble like her mom and the others are black and tan. tho my girls mom was black and tan as well. Are there any ways to tell if they are full blooded without a dna test.

Answer
If she mated with the mini pin then no they are not likely to be purebred.  They may look like dachshunds but they are not purebred if they did mate.  Mating a pie and dapple is not a good gene pool either.  Puppies from this type of breeding can have issues.  You should consider getting your dachshunds spayed and neutered.  There are literally hundreds of homes dachshunds out there - many of them young - and they will lose their lives because of breeding or accidental breedings and no one want them.  It is also healthier for your dogs and will make them happier pets.  Sorry, but the odds of them being purebred are very slim if the mini pin got in there.  If she also mated with your male, they will look more dachshund but once she breeds the odds of it not taking, especially since she got pregnant, with the mini pin are not good.  I have seen mini pin and dachshund mixes and they will be hard to tell when puppies but as they get older there will be some differences - but even that can be hard to tell as it depends on the quality of your dogs - many dachshunds today are not bred well.  So if you are thinking of selling the pups, you really cannot sell them as purebreds since you cannot be positive.  Please consider not having this happen again as puppies and adults are dying by the thousands everyday.  I bet the pups are cute - all babies are!  Oh and you would have to do a DNA test on each pup, not just one and unless they are champion quality dogs, it is not worth the cost if you are just trying to get them good homes.  Breeding is not a money making investment - the cost of the vet bills, time, and extra care that has to be done makes it that way.  Best wishes.
