There are no genetic health complications in this case. On this occasion, the puppies in the litter will be Piebalds. The Dachshund breed standards do not allow for the mixing of the dapple and piebald patterns or any other pattern you cannot register a dachshund with more than 1 pattern.
Extreme piebald dachshunds are at risk of congenital deafness, — deafness at birth. Other than that, possible health issues are the same as with any dachshund variety. Yes, Piebald dachshunds shed like all dachshund breed varieties. However, the dachshund is considered a low-shedding breed in general. To get a piebald dachshund offspring, both parents must carry one copy of the recessive piebald gene. Most Piebald parents will have an entire litter of Piebald puppies. There has been a surge in popularity for the piebald colouring in dachshunds recently.
For this reason, piebald dachshunds are not as rare as they used to be, but they are still not as common as solid coloured dachshunds. A tuxedo piebald dachshund has markings similar to that of a tuxedo cat. This coat pattern will have a lot of dark colouring coupled with white markings over the chest and belly, that looks like a tuxedo. It is often coupled with white markings on the head and muzzle as well.
I have noted they are clear PRA genetic disease but i was not not sure if the puppies would be shaded cream piebald or tuxedo shaded cream or black and tan tuxedo? As my female dose not carry dilution gene.? Would that be safe combination to mate? Hi Melinda, a Piebald with partially blue eyes is most likely a dapple piebald dachshund.
Is your dachshund just very light cream? Note, she can also carry a piebald gene, or be a hidden dapple dapple pattern is not visible in reds and in creams.
As a suggestion, breeding cream to a solid coloured dachshund or cream would be a good idea, Cream dachshunds are very popular nowadays! I have a male pie-bald, he is amazing.
My question is, my friend has a black and tan dapple. Can they be breed with no health problems, she is not double dapple? I plan on getting a female pie-bald. Is it okay to breed? Hi Tina, mixed patterns are not recognised by kennel clubs. My advise would be to breed a piebald with a solid dachshund or another piebald. Hi Gene, the best advice would be to do the DNA check you can order the test kit online for a merle gene if you have suspicion you pup might be a dapple piebald.
Hi, my name is Catherine. I have a year old Black and Tan piebald but I want to get her tested to see if she has any dapple genetically. How would I go about doing that? I got her from a friend and have no clue what the parents look like. Thank you in advance. You can order the test kit online, it costs around 50 dollars. I am looking into getting a puppy! I currently have a 3 year old girl. The breeder I found has a male dapple. I asked to see the parents and the dad is chocolate dapple and the mom is chocolate tan piebald.
Is this something I should be concerned with? Hi Marina, it looks like the puppy is a dapple, the pattern he inherited from his dad. Dapples have no probability of genetic complications, as opposed to double dapples. Hi Catherine! These colours are not acceptable and there are serious health risks associated with the Double Dapple pattern.
Double Dapple is the colour of a dog that is the result of mating two Dapple Dachshunds together. A Double Dapple Dachshund often has blue eyes, but may have one or both dark eyes. One parent must be dapple in order to produce dapple puppies. There is far less documented evidence that Piebald carries health risks in the way that Double Dapple does.
You would have to be very careful not to mate two of these together, otherwise you risk the health issues associated with Double Dapple offspring. What happens if you breed two dapple dachshunds? Remember that single Dapple Dachshunds do not have these lethal health problems. However, this type of breeding is very cruel and not approved by Kennel Clubs. The piebald pattern can occur with any of the basic coat colours , including red, cream, black and tan, black and cream, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, blue or Isabella.
However, dilute colours like blue and Isabella are cruel on the puppies and can lead to serious health complications! You can also have Dachshunds with more than one pattern on their coats. For example a dapple piebald, or even a dapple brindle piebald. The blended patterns are very intricate and look lovely. While the piebald pattern itself is not thought to be associated with health issues, dogs with large areas of white in their coat have a higher risk of health problems.
For example, congenital deafness and eyesight issues. The American Kennel Club is more lenient on this. However, this has nothing to do with the piebald gene and relates to the Dachshund breed in general. Yes, you can breed two piebald Dachshunds. When you breed a piebald Dachshund with another piebald Dachshund, you get piebald puppies. However, you need to be careful that the parents do not carry the dapple gene. This can have serious health problems like congenital eye and ear defects.
Just remember that not all Kennel Clubs agree that the piebald pattern is ethical for Dachshunds. If your heart is set on a piebald Dachshund, you could always look at dog shelters or rescue centres to see if you can adopt one. If two dapples are bred including two dapple piebalds, or a dapple piebald and a dapple , this could produce a double dapple and the Dachshund may suffer badly with his health.
In terms of genetics, the difference between a piebald Dachshund and a dapple is that the piebald markings are caused by a recessive gene. The breeder simply did not do any DNA checking on the two pups that were bred with.
How can you tell the difference? This is where it can get tricky! Double Dapples and Piebalds without knowledge or research can be easily confused.
The Dachshund breed standards Please check your countries breed standards is that you should not mix Dapple, Brindle or Piebald together as a Dachshund can only be registered and recognised as having 1 pattern. There are many hot tips on how to tell a Piebald Dachshund and Double Dapple Dachshund apart and one big give away is that a Piebald will generally have symmetrical markings where a Double Dapple will not.
The Piebald pattern also has ticking rather than coloured spots. Ticking: Spots that are based in white markings Dapple: Coloured Spots that can be a prominent colour or diluted. As you can see on Molly she has unsymmetrical markings.

It also runs the problems in the future of that potential Dapple Piebald landing in breeders arms and not understanding that breeding the Dapple Piebald to a Dapple will cause Piebald Double Dapples with health issues. There are lots of tests around however the top tests for the M Locus gene are:. Paw Prints Genetics.
