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.

of our Brindle Dachshunds and their puppies. Please click the

don't see every day!

This is Cooper. He is a Red Brindle Adult Dachshund!

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!
