Dachshund with Split-Color Face Is Such a Half-and-Half Cutie

Dachshund with Split-Color Face Is Such a Half-and-Half Cutie originally appeared on Parade Pets. Dachshunds are such fun and sweet pups. With their short legs, long bodies, and eyes that scream "I know I'm cute," Dachshunds are pure personality in fun-sized packaging. These small pooches can come in all types of colors and patterns, but the one you're about to meet has to be one of the most unusual-looking Dachshunds we have ever seen. Just look at this little sausage sweetie who has a split-colored face. He's too cute for words. One person asked, "What an interesting pattern on a Dachshund. Is that considered a dapple? So cute!" The video creator explained that Slinke is more of a piebald. Dogster explains, "To be recognized as a piebald Dachshund, the dog must have colored flecks or spots on a white undercoat. Those with no markings on the body, and only markings on the head, are called extreme piebald and are not officially recognized. If one has blue eyes, it is not considered a true piebald Dachshund, either. They can only have dark-colored eyes." Here's another clip of this striking pup. I have a relative who has always been a Doxie mom, and Dachshunds are fiercely loyal and often bond hard with one person. They can be stubborn but are also smart — and usually food-motivated enough to learn a trick or two (or at least pretend to, if snacks are involved). In short: Dachshunds are equal parts adorable, ridiculous, and bold. They're the lowriders of the dog world, and they know they're iconic. Although piebald Dachshunds are extremely cute and often a popular breed choice, they may have some increased health risks compared to their other Dachshund counterparts. Some of these include eye issues, such as cataracts or glaucoma, as well as skin allergies and sensitivity to extreme temperatures. I think we can all agree that Slinke is one of the cutest Dachshunds we have ever seen! 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 Dachshund with Split-Color Face Is Such a Half-and-Half Cutie first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
