Ponderosa Dachshunds

About Brindle Miniature Dachshunds

Brindle is a pattern.  Put simply, it means a dachshund that has "stripes".  Really pretty dark colored striped that can either be on the main body or in the tan points of a Brindle Dachshund.  Any Color can be combined with a Brindle Pattern.  Mostly commonly you will see Brindle Dachshunds in red.  The Black and Tan Brindle Dachshunds usually have their brindle stripes in their tan points.  The same can usually be said with Chocolate and Tan Brindles and The Dilute colors. You have to take into consideration that these are rules of thumb..but, anything is possible.  We have worked for years to try to produce a chocolate and tan or dilute with brindle striping on the main body.  If you have one of these, please send pictures!  I would love to see it and share it on this page.
Now, genetically speaking Brindle is a dominant gene.  Meaning that you could breed a solid colored dog that does not carry Brindle to a dachshund that shows Brindle Stripes and still produce Brindle Dachshunds.  There are always exceptions to every rule.  There are hidden Brindles!  Dogs that are genetically Brindle Dachshunds that show no sign of Brindle Markings.  They produce Brindle Dachshund Puppies.  This is more common in the English Cream lines.  Still, it's really neat.  
Unlike the Dapple Dachshunds, you can breed a brindle dachshund to a brindle dachshund and everything will be fine.  It just makes the chances better for producing Brindle Dachshunds.  As Brindle Dachshund Breeders can tell you.. it is always different with every litter.

This is Brindy.  She is a Black and Tan Brindle Dachshund.  Smooth Coat, lovely and a great mother.  This is a great example
of how a Black and Tan Brindle Dachshund shows their stripes in their tan points.


 
These are Brindle Wirehaired Dachshunds.  Totally adorable!

 
These are Black and Tan Brindle Piebald Dachshunds.  Just like Brindy, they only show their brindle striping in their tan points.
It is always a proud moment for Brindle Dachshund Breeders when you can add another pattern like piebald to their puppy!


This is a Red Brindle Piebald Dachshund Puppy!
His name is Charlie Chaplin and he has grown up right here with us.  

THIS is an example of a red shaded smooth coat puppy.  I put this picture on this page because I often see Red Brindle Dachshund Puppies for Sale and when you see the picture, it usually turns out to be a red shaded.  I thought this would help show the difference and maybe help new brindle dachshund breeders distinquish between the two.



We will add new Brindle Pictures as we produce them!
