COLORS
RED - Red Dachshunds are widely known and recognized for their beautiful
Range of "red" coloring. From a deep mahogany red to a pale golden and all
Shades of brownish red in between, the array is truly splendid. Red
Dachshunds may be a clear red or they may have black hairs in their coats.
Some reds have black trim around their eyes and ears and also along their
Backs. This darker trim often fades as the puppy gets older. The reds
Should have black noses and nail color and brown eyes.
BLACK/TAN - Black and Tan Dachshunds are also widely known and
Recognized. They have a shiny black coat and have tan or reddish-brown
Markings on the face, chest, four feet and under the tail. The nose pad and
Nails should be black. The eyes should be a dark rich brown and the
Markings should be deep tan and even - not pale red or indistinct. *** Note
That Black and Cream Dachshunds are the same except that their markings
Are a light cream instead of tan.
BLACK - The puppy appears to have no tan markings. These
Black Dachshunds are recognized by AKC and are highly regarded and
Desired by pet owners and breeders.
BLUE/TAN - Blue and Tan Dachshunds are dilutes of the Black and Tan
Dachshund colors. The Dachshund's main body color is a battleship grey or
Steel grey along with muted tan markings as a result of diluting factors.
The eyes are usually a grayish blue color
And the nose pad and nails are a pale grey.
PEARLISH GRAY COLOR
BLUE - a Blue Dachshund is the same as above with no tan
Chocolate & Cream Dachshunds are similar to
Black and Cream Dachshunds - their main body color is a rich dark
Chocolate to a light milky chocolate and their points are a lovely cream
Color. Chocolate and Cream Dachshunds often have brown or hazel eyes and
A liver-colored, self colored or deep dark brown nose pad, nails and tan
Markings.
CHOCOLATE/TAN - Chocolate & Tan Dachshunds are similar to Black and
Tan Dachshunds but their main body color is a rich dark chocolate to a light
Milky chocolate. Chocolate and Tan Dachshunds often have brown or hazel
Eyes and a liver-colored, self colored or deep dark brown nose pad, nails
And tan markings.
CHOCOLATE -. A solid chocolate would
Appear to have no tan markings. These chocolate Dachshunds are
Recognized by AKC and are highly regarded and desired by pet owners and
Breeders.
ISABELLA & TAN - Isabella and Tan Dachshunds, often described as
Fawn colored with tan markings are another form of dilute color. Isabella
And Tan is a dilution of Chocolate and Tan. The main body is a silvery fawn
(greyhound) colored and the markings are a muted tan. The eyes are
Usually a light grayish green and the nose pad and nail colors are pale liver
Colored.
ISABELLA - An Isabella Dachshund is the same as above with no tan
CREAM - Cream colored Dachshunds do not have any red or tones of red in
Their coat color. They often appear almost off white to grayish white at
Birth. They are a natural buff color with dark brown eyes, and a black nose
And nail color. They may also have some black hairs in their coats - around
The eyes, ears and along the back. This black often diminishes as the puppy
Gets older. True Creams trace their lineage to England.
AMERICAN CREAM - American Cream colored Dachshunds often appear
White to pale blond at birth and can come in smooth or long hair. As they
Get older, they often appear to be a strawberry blond or beige tone. They
Normally have dark brown eyes and a black nose and nail color. However,
Just as you can have a red dilute resulting in a liver colored nose, you can
Have a diluted American Cream with a pale nose. This is the result of
Breeding an American Cream to a chocolate and tan or other dilute color.
WHEATEN Pale yellow or fawn color. The color of wheat. The color of the
Oily yellow part of non-homogenized milk. The lighter the better and should
Have the darkest eyes,nose and nails. Colors range from dingy looking to
White to a butter color
WILD BOAR - Wild boar Dachshunds have a light brown base coat and a
Black overlay. The Wild boar color is noted by its light color base showing
Through the nose area, around the eyes and also the underside of the body.
Wild boar is most common in wire haired Dachshunds but can appear in
Smooths as well.
PATTERNS ( with the exception of brindle piebald ... AKC will only recognize one pattern)
BRINDLE - The Brindle pattern in Dachshunds appears like a series of
Stripes (like a zebra) along the base color. One parent must be a Brindle in
Order to have the pattern appear.
PIEBALD - Piebald Dachshunds show a white spotting pattern over the
Base color. Piebalds should never have blue eyes. If they do, then they
Should be registered as Dapples. They should also have no shading within
The white areas or body spots. The amount of white varies, ranging from a
White collar, white chest, underside, tail and feet to almost pure white. When ticking is present, tiny dots of color appear on the white areas, varying in amounts from a few single dots to an abundance of dots which run together to form a roaning effect, similar to that seen in English Setters and German Shorthair Pointers. Ticking is just a part of the piebald pattern and any amounts, or none at all, are acceptable.
DAPPLE - Dapple Dachshunds show patches or spots of lighter color mixed
In with patches of the self color.
If the dapple pattern appears across the face, one or both eyes may have
Blue speckles or may be entirely blue. In order for Dappling to occur in a
Puppy, one of the parents must show the dapple gene.
SABLE - True Sable Dachshunds are very difficult to describe. The red is so
Dark as to appear black. The whole body except for the face and feet are
Seen with the base color of the dog with black tips at the ends. The face
And feet are usually the base color. Therefor a Red Sable will have red at
The base of the hair with black tips - the face and feet will be red. One
Parent must show the Sable pattern to produce a Sable Dachshund. ( PATTERN IN LONG HAIR DACHSHUNDS)
DOUBLE DAPPLE - Double Dapples usually have larger areas of white on
Their bodies in addition to their base color and patches / spots. Eyes may be
Completely blue and they may have white on their heads, white nail tips,
White on their feet, white on their underside and their sides.
Breeding double dapples can be dangerous as deafness,
Reduced eye size and blindness may occur.
Double Dapples are produced when two single dapple parents
Are bred together.
WE DO NOT BREED DOGS THAT WILL PRODUCT DOUBLE DAPPLES DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES THE PUPPIES CAN HAVE
