Annie is a beautiful girl - she is and always will be totally correct - but the recessive gene (piebald) mixed with the dominant gene dapple - I learned the most difficult way to learning - not from the breeder I was working with, but by inquiry about genetics - that this type of breeding is not what I wanted to pursue. The experience taught me so much - a great learning experience, and with no regret that the right decision was to retire her to a forever family including other CBWags4u Dachsies - Teddy & Celia!
