They are so cute. My assistant has two of them and of course we make fun of him for having a mini weiner, but he brought one over to my house and she was so sweet.

A double dapple is when you breed two dapples together. It is not recommended because of health issues. "Double dapple is the result of both the mother and the father dog giving the pup a dapple gene. For example, the father dog gives the pup the gene first and dapples his back legs and tail, then the mother dog gives a dapple gene to the puppy’s entire body. Where the two dapple genes overlap results in solid white; the other areas that did not overlap genes result in spots which contain dappling. There are extreme risks in breeding dapples and a good breeder will not risk the health of their pups in this way."
Risks include: birth defects such as blind, deaf or both and microphthalmia (an abnormally small eye). Sometimes this overlapping dapple gene can even cause missing eyes and/or ears. However, a double dapple puppy can be born with no deformities at all.
Now I found all this out because we got a dapple dachshund and wanted to know what would happen if we got another and bred them.
I can't wait to see pics, by this description I have a Double Dapple and didn't know it,She will be 3 next month, she has 2 blue eyes.I just told people that she is multi colored,her front has a lot of white with some dappling, and she is a Spoiled Little Princes.

The blue eyes do not necessarily mean she is a double dapple. And a white body could mean that she carries for pie bald or is pie bald. But depending on where you got her, they should tell you.

We do not have the internet at the house so I have to wait til Tuesday and post picts! Sorry! Ill take some good ones tomorrow
I made my fb profie public since I cannot post pictures...my name is jessica kettinger. Ill leave it public for a few days. Enjoy my crazy zoo pictures.....lol
I'm not real good with face book(or computers in general) but I found you and 2 pics of Chewy, he is neat looking and so laid-back, he looks a lot like the father of the two I have. Len
Here is my Chewy! He is super sweet! One blue eye and one brown eye!!!
I didn't specifically have 2 dapples bred to make Chewy, he was on CL and I fell in love with his picture! His personality is equal to his picture. There are a lot of health risks with the genetics of double-dapple weenies! We don't plan on breeding him!
