Why choose a dapple Doxie?
WELCOME TO DAPPLE DOXIE!! We have chosen the Miniature Dachshund as our special breed because of the independent, irresistible appeal and classic beauty. At Dapple Doxie, we have been working for years to produce beautiful quality dachshunds that are pleasing to the eye and correct to the standards.

Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. They’re also available in three coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. All Dachshunds have only one color. A pattern in another color, like the dapple, can be superimposed over the base hue. The dapple design can vary from a huge smattering of splashes to one single spot.
Dapple in Dachshunds is the same in appearance, and genetically, as the “merle” found in Collies, Australian Shepherds and some other breeds. Strictly speaking, it is a pattern, rather than a colour. It appears like a slashing or swirling of paint over all normal Dachshund colours. Some dappling is very bright and noticeable.

If dappling appears on the face, the eyes might be an icy shade of blue. These characteristics can be quite striking, and some breeders will try to create double dapple puppies for their uniqueness.
