Maybe I am wrong, but I am afraid you have gotten yourself and her into far more than you are prepared to deal with. I am not sure anybody here can really give you the help she needs now. All that you need to know is well beyond the scope of AMHD answers. Breeding and whelping puppies properly isn't easy. Skillful intervention can mean the difference between live and still births, or even the survival of the mother. I have helped my friends whelp puppies. I don't remember details on how long contractions are. I think it is inexcusably irresponsible not to have educated yourself long before this by talking to others and reading books such as Successful Dog Breeding, by Chris Walkowicz, DMV. I also am concerned about how carefully you selected the parents for the puppies. Are their lines relative free of common health problems? Did you research problems common to Dachshunds? How about their temperaments? I get very upset about people are breeding dogs without educating themselves. They are a big part of the problem leading to the slaughter of 10,000,000 dogs a year often is inhumane ways after a short, miserable life. I have no idea how many questions I have seen from people struggling with poorly bred and socialized puppies. You at least still have time to learn how to give the puppies the care they need to be a pet and not a pain when they go to their new home.
