Subject: canine breeding/equine breeding

In breeding mares, we always aimed at catching the mare on her foal heat. For many years now I have been a serious breeder of dachshunds. I have always skipped a heat cycle and sometimes 2,(depending upon the litter size) before breeding the bitch again.

Now I am getting feed back from different places stating that bitches should also be caught on their next heat. I would like some good sound advice on this method. 2 litters a year seems like a bit much stress physically, and very hard on the bitch. What is the rule of thumb where Vet's are concerned on frequency, and total litters that should be expected from the bitch? Thanks for any info.
