- 2 Dachshunds, 2 cats,
Hi,
Does anyone know much about the genetics of dachshunds? I have studied a bit, but have a few questions about recessive genes. I recently bred my smooth black and tan dapple female to a long hair black male. She had 10 pups of various colors - 2 chocolate dapples both longhair, 1 smooth black and tan dapple, 2 red/white piebalds longhair, 2 smooth dilute reds, 1 chocolate/white piebald longhair, and 2 black smooth coats. The mother is AKC registered, the father is not, although his parents were so the blood lines are pure. All pups are healthy, fat and happy at 7 weeks now. I am just interested to see how we got such a color combination from the parents.
