There are lots of different Dachshund colors and coats. I have a double E recessive cream long hair. It is really rare to have one like this because he is totally cream colored (blonde). Most creams are shaded, they have black or red tips on there hair. I would think that the most rare would be one with a gene recess like mine or a blue. Blues have thin hair and also leads to thin skin. They have problems and are hard to care for which makes them very seldom bred.
No. Dapple grays aren't born dapple, they get dapples as they grow older. Most dapple grays were grey/white when they were born.
Blue eyes in Dachshunds are not common and can be considered rare. It is more commonly seen in dogs with dapple (merle) coat patterns, which can also come with an increased risk of health issues. Blue eyes in Dachshunds can be a result of genetic factors or breeding patterns.
Some what yes and no. Beacuse in a ratio on howrse the dapple gray coat is 7% witch means it is rare but not so much. Most common would be 12% and least common would be 2%.
No, they come in many colors, including dapple.
If you breed two dapple dachshunds together the puppies have a high possibility of being born without or underdeveloped eyes, blind, and deaf. It is not worth the risk to create a double dapple dachshund. The poor puppies have to live their entire lives with those birth defects and its very hard to find them good homes.
Dachshunds can be any colorr such as Black and Brown (My dogs color), plain Black, plain Brown, Dapple which is a grey and black and brown mix, or a reddish color. Hope this helps! :)
No. In a conversation with the Dapple-Gray about the detestable Yahoos, Gulliver suggests that the Houyhnhnms exterminate the Yahoos through the benevolent use of castration. The Dapple-Gray then brought the idea before the Grand Assembly. Yes, the Dapple-Gray did suggest castration, but it was originally Gulliver's idea (from his experience with horses in England) and it was suggested as a means for annihilating the Yahoos. They would castrate the Yahoos and let them slowly die out, thus exterminating them.
A dapple gray.
Yes, breeding two dachshunds with the same pattern, such as double dapple, should be avoided due to the risk of producing puppies with serious health issues like blindness and deafness. It's important to consult with a veterinarian or a reputable breeder to ensure responsible breeding practices.
A dachshund is a dapple if it has silver and black dots. Most dapples have silver hair also. There are two types of dapple, sliver dapple which is sliver or gray with black spots and a chocolate dapple which is a spotted mix of browns and tans. The chocolate ones can be either real dark in color or a lighter tan with darker spots. If you have a dapple with white on it, the white is called pie and a sliver dapple with brown on it, the brown is called bald. My 4 yr old male is considered a sliver dapple pie bald with sky blue eyes.
If it is a grey dapple, then they can look a bit blue, usually it is spelled Bleu though.
