Hi all!
I am considering breeding from my 2 year old clear red smooth haired miniature dachshund bitch. I am currently researching possible suitors.
I have looked up and compared a number of different dogs by utilising the mating inbreeding co-efficient prediction. I am aware that the average inbreeding coefficient for the breed is currently 7.4%. My view is that any breeder should be improving the breed. As such, I have looked far and wide for the lowest score and the best match for my very special girl. I have found a stud dog and if I used him, the puppies would have an inbreeding coefficient score of 1.1% which is excellent! This dog is a champion himself and has many champions in his line. His confirmation is magnificent and he is very sweet natured.
I am new to the breeding world and I understand that the colouring of dachshunds is quite a mindfield. As stated above my bitch is a clear red. The dog I have found is also a clear red. Is this a no go? I'm sure I remember someone mentioning to me that if I put a red on red the puppies would lose their black points?
I would be grateful to receive any advice.
Thank you in advance.
