Can a Mini Australian Shepperd and Mini Daschund have puppies?

We have a male Mini Australian Shepperd and we are getting a mini shorthair Daschund. My wife seems to think that they can have puppies but I think that the Daschund would be too small. The Australian Shepperd is about 19 lbs. If it's decided this is not a good idea, how do we get our Aussie to stop peeing on everything, claiming it for his own? Get him fixed?|||they can, they will, and it's a terrible idea. Only idiots and backyard breeders make mutts on purpose (or by "accident"). I'm sure you're not either of those, so yes, both animals should be altered. The best thing to do is have your male done now. It may reduce marking, but it is not a cure.|||I would not recommend this. It is not going to be healthy for either dogs. But i do think the Mini Daschund will be way too small. It will kill her. Im guessing she will be like 5-10lbs. IF THAT. My chi is 9lbs now and 11 months old and she is a standard breed. They will try and it is likley other big dogs from the neighborhood will try and that can cause fights between your male and the other male. And this could kill the female,





Getting him fixed is not going to guarantee that he will not mark. But it is the most healthy thing to do. They can get cancer if not neutered they can get temperamental also. I would highly recon mend getting him fixed, For his own safety and health. Same for the Female.





Spay*and*neuter*is*So*much*Cuter.|||If you want to kill the Doxie, go right ahead. Since there is no "mini" AS in the first place, he should be neutered now before you bring in the other dog. And the Doxie should be spayed by 6 months old.





First of all your mini AS is bred by a backyard breeder - its a runt with a lot of genetic problems and never should be bred to anything. Go read the Australian Shepherd standard to find out what you should have.





Second, never breed mutt dogs - there is enough backyard breeders now - why be part of that problem? A responsible owner will spay/neuter their dogs unless they are top show quality dogs that have been genetically tested and earned champion titles.|||no such thing as a "mini" aussie.. its just a mutt, and may potentially have genetics in its background for larger sizes





it would be dangerous to allow a dog that size to mate with a dachshund


not to mention, if both have the dapple/merle gene.. you're asking for problems.





why would you do that anyways? The result would be more unwanted mutts.





Yes, get him fixed|||Yes, they could have puppies. If the Aussie is that big and the dach is a lot smaller (Which it is) the puppies could be too big for her to have. You would have to have a c-section. In other words, yes, the dachschund would be too small. As for the peeing, probably getting him fixed is your best bet.|||Not a good idea, it could be dangerous for the daschund. However this will not stop them from trying. so it would be safest to get them both spay/neutered as quickly as possible. This may also help with the Aussie marking everything.|||Its not a good idea to bring a bunch of useless mutts into the world period. Same goes for breeding when you don't have a clue. Fix BOTH your dogs and train your male.|||Yes, the Mini Aussie can and *will* mate with the Dachshund, and the breeding *will* most likely kill the Dachshund.





Neuter your male.|||Yes.





Spay the female...and neuter the amle|||You can get him fixed. but somtimes that still will lead them to claim their terrority.
