Question
Hi my name is jasmine first time here ummm i would like to know about my miniature dotsons and she's almost two and my mom is going to breed her with another miniature dotsons and i would like to know about how many pups would she most likely to have?

Answer
Hi Jasmine,

Since you've asked for more info, we can start with the breed name. You own a Daschund, not a Dotson.

Two years old is the correct time to first breed a dog. Your dog will be a better mother to her pups having waited this long. Before breeding though, it's best to have our vet check her, to ensure that she is healthy enough to withstand the stress of having puppies.

It's impossible to say how many puppies your dog will have. An average for a small breed such as your dog would be 3-5 puppies.

Best of luck,
Patti
