Patterns on Dachshund Colors

Many people have not seen all the different patterns that Dachshund colors can have, so we wish to help make it easy to see and understand what the patterns look like.   Listed below are the patterns that Dachshunds can have, according to AKC and photos if possible.  The patterns are Brindle (stripes), dapple (merle), and piebald (white-spotting).

Brindle means stripes. Usually but not always black in color.   The stripes can be blue, isabella or chocolate. The best brindles are striped all over the body.  Even if there are only a few stripes they are still considered a brindle.	blk/tan dapples red double dapple	Any color that a dachshund can come in can have dapples, brindle or be piebald.
