Explanation of color and patterns

I've been doing a lot of research on the color/pattern issue with these puppies. A good friend of mine in rescue told me that she was pretty sure these pups are piebalds. Double dapple and piebald can look very similar, and honestly, we were *hoping* for piebald, since the chance of deafness or blindness is eliminated.

I contacted Chris Simmons of Honeydachs dachshunds in MD. She had the best explanation of the differences in DD and Pied. She confirmed that they are indeed Piebald (and adorable to boot LOL)

Here is the link to her site for more information. Colors and Patterns
