Possible double dapple?

[cindyg]

Hi everyone!
New to the forum and a new dachshund owner! We got our little guy a few months ago from an odd situation and have no background information on him at all. I've been reading finding out all that I can. He is a 6 month old (very soon to be nutered) miniature black and tan, and is very dappled head to tail.

He has a white stripe on his chest, though, that has me wondering if he could be double dappled? Can they have a stripe like that and not be double? He also had more white hairs around his"goodies" but the fur there is more sparse so it's hard to tell if it's a white patch or dappled. His hearing and vision seem too be fine so far, just very curious to know all we can about him!
Thanks!!!

Hi Cindy! Congratulations on getting such a handsome guy!
You'll be happy to know that the stripe down his chest does not mean he's a double dapple. Even non-dapple dogs can have that for a few reasons, so don't worry.

Glad you're here and I hope there's a bunch more photos coming soon!
