Piebald dapple Dachshunds have two separate coat patterns combined together. The piebald gene creates white areas on the coat while the dapple pattern produces marbled or mottled markings.
The combination is less common than traditional Dachshund colors and can create truly unique appearances, which is why no two piebald dapple Dachshunds look exactly alike.
In Dodger's case, the result is absolutely unforgettable.
