10 months is very young. First a visit to the vet is definitely called for - and if she is pregnant - personally I would have her spayed right then resulting in an abortion of course. You did not say what type of dog the male is. If he is also a mini Dachshund, you will need to consider his age and especially if he has experienced any Dachshund disc disease. If he has, that alone would make the decision for me. At 10 months it is a little early for your female to be exhibiting symptoms of the disease, but there are extreme cases - my first mini exhibited serious symptoms being at 1 year. I am a serious expert on Dachshund disc disease and that pain and heartbreak involved by the dog and Mommy. There are many, many mini Dachshunds being put to sleep or given up to Rescues due to the back problem. I note that you have 4 dogs - perhaps you have been through this? If not, please check with your vet. Dogs of my heart. I hope she is not pregnant. If she isn't, pleased get her spayed. I get a little emotional about Dachshunds.
