I'm a newbie here. I'm getting our new mini dachshund next week and have been very excited. Until yesterday. I'm fairly confident the woman I'm getting him from said he's a double dapple. I'm not postive though, so I'm not quoting her. Anyhow, I was looking up doubles yesterday just to look at the different colorings of them. I found quite a few articles online about them and how they have a very high rate of blindness and/or deafness due to the double recessive gene. (Hope I remembered that right)
I figured I'd post a couple pictures and see if anyone here knows if he is a double. If anyone knows more about this subject? Any information would be helpful. I'm so excited for this little guy. I just want to know what to be prepared for.
