About This Puppy

Teddy is an eight-week-old male chocolate dapple Miniature Dachshund with a smooth shorthaired coat, available now at $1,000, AKC registered with vaccinations up to date. His coloring is the part families ask about first: a rich chocolate ground broken by lighter mottled dapple patches across his head, shoulders and back, warm tan points above each eye and along his muzzle, chest and legs, and the liver-toned nose and pale hazel-green eyes that come with the chocolate dilution. Because he is a short haired chocolate dapple Dachshund rather than a long-coated one, his markings read clearly against the sleek coat and his grooming needs stay simple — a weekly brush and very little else. Every photograph on this page is from his ordinary week: a car ride in his own sherpa seat, a rope ball he takes seriously on the living room carpet, his crate blanket, and the sunny bolster bed he claims in the afternoon. Riding in the car, meeting new surfaces, and playing around household noise are all part of how Honeybrook prepares a litter before they go home. Families searching for a male chocolate dapple Dachshund puppy usually want a small, confident indoor companion who joins in rather than watches from the corner, and Teddy is being placed with that kind of home in mind. Text us for more photographs of his dappling, a short video of him playing, or a walkthrough of what reserving him involves.

Teddy'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 much do Miniature Dachshunds shed?

    Dachshunds shed moderately year-round, with heavier seasonal changes. Smooth coats shed short hairs that are easy to lift with a rubber curry or grooming mitt. Long coats shed longer hairs that are more visible on furniture and clothing but are easier to manage with consistent brushing. No Dachshund coat variety is considered hypoallergenic.
