His profile has a sweeter, gentler character—an affectionate little boy who enjoys attention and being close to people. Billy may particularly appeal to families searching for a loving companion with an easygoing, people-focused personality. Personality notes describe him as he is now as a puppy rather than a guarantee of adult temperament.

Learn About Puppy VisitsAbout This Puppy
Billy is an eight-week-old male chocolate dapple Miniature Dachshund with a long coat, available now at $1,000, AKC registered with vaccinations up to date. What families notice first is his face: a warm chocolate ground broken by pale mottled dappling across his head and shoulders, tan points above each eye and along his muzzle and paws, a liver-toned nose, and mismatched eyes — one clear blue, one soft hazel — a pairing that shows up in some dapple-patterned puppies. His long-haired coat is still developing the feathering that will fill in along his ears, chest and tail over the coming months, and it stays easy to care for with a brush a couple of times a week to keep the leg and ear fringe tangle-free. The photographs on this page are all from his ordinary days at home: standing on the bed with his ears forward, tucked against a couch cushion, and asleep upside down beside an older long-haired Dachshund on the rug. Growing up underfoot in a normal household — with movement, voices and other dogs around — is a deliberate part of how Honeybrook raises a litter. Families looking for a long haired chocolate dapple Dachshund puppy are usually after a small indoor companion who wants to be near them, and that is exactly the kind of home Billy is being placed in. Text us for more photographs of his dappling and coat, a short video, or a walkthrough of what reserving him involves.

Billy's Coat — Common Questions
What does "chocolate dapple" mean?
A chocolate dapple Dachshund has a chocolate (brown) base coat carrying the dapple pattern, giving it lighter mottled patches across the body. Nose leather and eye rims on chocolate dogs are typically brown rather than black, and eye color can range from dark to lighter amber, sometimes with one or both eyes blue.
What is the difference between long-haired and smooth-haired Dachshunds?
A smooth (shorthair) Dachshund has a short, sleek, close-lying coat that needs very little maintenance — a weekly wipe-down or brush is usually enough. A long-haired Dachshund has a longer, silkier coat with feathering on the ears, chest, legs and tail; that feathering keeps growing and can tangle, so long-haired dogs need regular brushing, especially behind the ears and on the trousers and tail.
How often should a Dachshund be groomed?
As a general routine: brush a smooth coat about once a week; brush a long coat two to four times a week and daily during heavy shedding. Bathe only as needed, typically every four to eight weeks or when dirty, using a dog-appropriate shampoo. Check and trim nails every few weeks, clean the ears as your veterinarian advises — Dachshunds' long, pendulous ears trap moisture — and work on daily tooth brushing, since small breeds are prone to dental disease.
