Roxie had four puppies on Sat. July 11th, 2009. Two black & tan, two PIEBALD and all doing very well. They will be avaliable for sale when 8 weeks old. If interested, let me know.
Piebald dachsunds are really special. In order to get the piebald pattern both parents must carry the piebald gene. When two piebalds are bred the puppies will all be piebald (no exception). It is possible to get a piebald from two non piebald parents if they are both piebald carriers. Piebald is a recessive gene. Piebald dachshunds bring the white highlights (or majority white color) without the detrimental effects of the dapple gene. The piebald gene is not self destructive over time and piebald may be bred to one another indefinitely without detrimental effects. Piebalds breed true and predictably. The piebald pattern is caused by the same gene that gives Beagles, Rat Terriers and Jack Russels their "spotted" patern. The piebald gene is safe with no known ill genetic defects associated with the gene. Piebald dachshunds are really special and we have fallen in love with the pattern. The piebald pattern is just that...a pattern. Piebalds can occur in red, black and tan, chocolate, isabella, blue and cream.
