Meet Blue
Gentle • Observant • Affectionate
Blue's striking dapple coat may catch your attention first, but his sweet, thoughtful expression gives him an equally endearing presence. We're introducing Blue as the gentle observer of the group—an affectionate little companion with a curious side who enjoys taking in what's happening around him. His distinctive markings and soft long-haired coat give him a look all his own.

Learn About Puppy VisitsAbout This Puppy
Blue is an eight-week-old male Miniature Dachshund with a black and gray dapple long-haired coat, available now at $1,000. He is AKC registered and his vaccinations are up to date. Dapple is one of the most sought-after patterns in the breed, and Blue's is unusually clear: charcoal and silver marbling across his back and shoulders, a softly speckled face, and the silky feathering along his ears, chest and tail that marks the long-haired variety. His photographs were taken where he lives — indoors on knit blankets and the family couch, in the middle of normal household sound and movement, and in the company of an adult Afghan Hound he is comfortable around. That kind of everyday exposure is a deliberate part of how Honeybrook raises a litter. Families searching for a long-haired dapple Miniature Dachshund male usually want a small, close-companion dog for an apartment or a busy home, and Blue is being placed with that in mind. Text us if you would like more photos of his markings, a short video, or to talk through what reserving him involves.

Blue's Coat — Common Questions
What is a dapple Dachshund?
Dapple is a coat pattern, not a color. It produces irregular lighter patches over a darker base color, so a chocolate dapple has chocolate as its base with lighter mottling. Some dapple dogs also have blue eyes or partially blue eyes. Dapple describes appearance only and says nothing about a dog's temperament or trainability.
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.
