~Fun Quiz* What color/coat pattern do Miniature Dachshunds come in? :)?

  • Hi! :)
    I wondered how many colors/patters people could come up with. A lot of people I talk to only really know the traditional red and black and tan. Also what color of dogs do you have? Whats your favorite breed/color of dog? Have a great night. Thanks! :-)


  • Sorry I have no idea, but my dogs are ::

    Tula is brown with some grey becausez she is an old girl ( Chihuahua)
    Prissy is black and white (English setter)
    Morgan is all black with some grey because she is an old girl too( lab pit bull mix )
    Joey is all grey ( terrier mix )
    Charles is fawn with some black ( pug )
    Auggie is all white ( bichon and maltese mix )
    Coco is black, brown, silverish, blonde ( shepard & collie mix )


    God bless you!!

  • Dachshunds exhibit three coat varieties, smooth coat, long hair and wire-hair. Wire hair is least commonly seen coat, and most recent coat to appear in breeding standards. Many people don't recognize wire-hairs as dachshunds and can be mistaken as other kinds of dogs[2].

    Dachshunds have a wide variety of colors and patterns. They can be single colored, single colored with spots (or dappled) and single colored with tan points plus any pattern. The dominant color is red. It is the most common along with black and tan. Two-colored dogs can be black, blue, wild boar, chocolate brown, or fawn with "points", or markings over the eyes, ears, paws, and tail, of tan or cream. A two-colored dachshund would be called by its dominant color first followed by the point color, such as "black and tan" or "chocolate and cream." Other patterns include piebald, in which a white pattern is imposed upon the base color and/or any other pattern, and a lighter "boar" red[4]. The reds range from coppers to deep rusts, with somewhat common black hairs peppered along the back, tail, face, and ear edges, lending much character and an almost burnished appearance; this is often desirable and is referred to among breeders and enthusiasts as a "stag" or an "overlay" and is referred to as "sable" in the AKC dachshund standard. An additional, striking coat marking is the brindle pattern. "Brindle" refers to dark stripes over a solid background usually red; some dachshunds may present with brindle points even.

    Solid black and solid chocolate-brown dachshunds occur and, even though dogs with such coloration are often considered handsome, the colors are nonstandard â “ that is, the dogs are disqualified from conformance competitions in the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, according to the Conformation judges of the DCA (Dachshund Club of America), and the AKC (American Kennel Club) assert the Piebald pattern a nonstandard[5] and has voted to dismiss this pattern from competition.

    Light-colored dachshunds can sport amber or green eyes, rather than brown; however kennel club standards state that the darker the eye color, the better. They can also have eyes of two different colors; in rare cases, such as the double-dappled coloration (called merle in other dog breeds[6]), dachshunds can have a blue and brown eye. Blue eyes, partially blue eyes, or a blue eye and a brown eye are called "Wall" coloring. Only the double dapple variety dachshunds can have blue or even partially blue eyes. It is not considered a non-desirable trait in kennel club standards. The standard was changed by the DCA in 2007 to exclude double dapples and changed single dapples to the only dapples. The reason is because the merle gene is linked to blindness and deafness. Wall-eyed is permissible in single dapples. It is impossible for a dachshund to have wall coloring without it being a double dapple. This is because when a dog receives a "dapple gene" from each parent, the genes can cross, washing out coloring within the eye. Without the two dapple genes the crossing of such, blue or partially blue eyes cannot occur.

    uh, that info up there is from a website cuz i have no creativity at all with colors for dogs' fur! lol. :P

    Well, my border terrier/cocker spaniel dog that i had a wiry type of black and tannish brown coat. he also had a black stripe starting from his neck all the way down to his tail. he also had light brown hair on his head, and a white tip on his tail. my girl pomeranian that i had before had pure white hair with 3 light creamish tan spots! weird, right?? lol. her brother had a very light cream color, but he started out being white.

    i really dont have a preference of dog color and breed-I LOVE them all! lol. im just an animal fanatic, and i love animals, so it doesnt matter to me. as long as the dog has a great personality and disposition, then that's all that matters!

    :D
