I do not own a piebald dachshund, but I do plan to one day.... the piebald dachshund is a very beautiful dog, and very unique.
They should not be discriminated against.
SAVE THE PIEBALDS!

This is the first time I’ve seen a Piebald she is beautiful.
Born March 28th 2008. I can’t image a color would matter
 

I personally do not believe that discrimination in any form is acceptable and will always fight it, at any effort I can. As a new breeder to the dachshunds world I think it is ridiculous to try to throw out the piebalds.

I think it is ridiculous that anyone would try to take them out of a show ring due to their color. They are beautiful and every bit as much a dachshund as any other color. I have 3 dachshunds, Belle Belle who is my Piebald, Beans who is a Cinnamon and Bailey who is a Dapple. I urge you to not take their color out as a dachshund, she is every bit the dachshund as any other color.
She also happens to be one of the most beautiful dachshunds ever, I get compliments on her every day and she recently landed as a runner up for the April photo contest for Country Garden Doxies.
 

 

I don't have a Piebald but I do have other Dachshunds and am a lover of all of them. My friend has a Piebald and she is just beautiful. The AKC should leave them in the standard and leave them alone! Thanks.

Piebald is a beautiful variation of the dachshund and should be included.
I own 4 dachshund, one is red, one is black and tan, one is black and
red, and the other is a beautiful red and white piebald.
Thank you.

My friend has a Piebald colored Doxie and we LOVE her! She should be appreciated just as much as the "other" colored Doxie's.

Please include me in whatever I can do to help her and her "Belle" out!
Thank you

I'd like to sign the petition to save the piebalds!
Here is a picture of my sisters piebald: Popcorn
 

Piebalds are beautiful, sweet loving dachshund dogs and should not be excluded by the AKC just because they are considered by some to be not worthy.
 

How does the Pie Bald differ from the Beagle........not by much and look who took the show this year Harowwwwww

I have 5 Piebalds Beauregard, Scarlett, Wickett, Butler, and Beauford.
(I had Shelby who looked like a mini cow, but my dad kidnaped her and took her to Indiana with him)

Here is my boy Beauregard and he comes from Champion lines and I would like to tell you he don't count, he is a Harley Dude and helps Santa out at Christmas when the Reindeers get tired. Then there is Scarlet our Princess, they and dethrone her, haw.
 

Piebalds are patterned so beautifully and they are so intelligent ...
We have become proud owners of one and she is gorgeous !!
AKC should not discriminate against them...

Being the owner of Sieg and Ziggy, two lovable piebalds, I definitely vote to save the piebald. I have several doxies and love them all. When my piebalds are out in public everyone wants to meet them.
 

Color and pattern has nothing to do with performance.
Piebalds are beautiful and deserve to be shown!!
A Dachshund is a Dachshund, no matter what Size, Coat or Color
 
 

I don't own a piebald but I think they should be saved because I think every animal deserves a chance. Also , I love all dogs and Piebalds are especially adorable. And the pattern is cute!

This is Lillie Mae. She is our gorgeous 1 year old piebald miniature dachshund. A dachshund is a dachshund no matter what color or pattern it is! The breed's abilities and the breed's coloring are two DIFFERENT things and do not affect each other! We believe that the piebald pattern should be considered a bonus because it's such a beautiful, eye-catching pattern.
WE LOVE PIEBALDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to breed & show Australian Shepherds before they were even recognized by the AKC. I was introduced to piebalds 2 years ago when my Jack Russell was bitten by a coral snake. I found an ad in the local newspaper and went to look at the puppies. Both the parents were on site (mother - cream w/ tan patches / father - dapple gray) and there disposition was great. There were 6 puppies to pick from. I chose one and left a deposit to pick him up in 2 weeks. After 6 months, I felt that he needed to have a buddy, so I called the lady up and she was having another litter and would call me when they arrived. I went and picked my 2nd puppy and returned in 2 weeks to bring her home. I don't know what life would be without Romeo (black/tan piebald) & Rosalyn (blue/tan piebald). I think it is truly a loss that these dogs cannot be recognized as they should be.
 
 

Excluding this pattern from the Dachshund standard is absurd - I feel proud and honored to have one.
Come to your senses AKC and DCA. PIEBALDS RULE!!!
 

Yes indeed they should be allowed to compete, to those who think not, would you hide your child in the closet if he/she looked different? Would they not be allowed to compete in activities with other children. I bet they have the same loyal, loving personalities as the reds, black and tan, dapples, ect.
Don't be SNOOTY!

There are many piebald dachshunds with their AKC championships.…WHY belittle their hard-earned titles because of their pattern? It is conformation and temperament that count. Pies are healthy and beautiful, and sought after! Please allow us to continue enjoying them and registering them.

People are wanting piebalds!
Piebalds are different, and people want a dog with its own look and personality.
PLEASE DON'T throw us to the curb.
We need love too.

WOW!!! To get rid of a certain pattern after having it be a big part of dachshund history is like throwing your own child out the window just because their hair didn't turn our like you had dreamed since you were young, or that they are shorter or taller than yourself.
Why they should be saved? Hmmmmm!!!! Let's see,
first and foremost the history of their bred.
Second, just because they are what they are. Third, I like them, a lot!!
While I do not own one now, I may in the future. And a piebald is my little Abby's boyfriend, so therefore her pups may carry the gene.
SHAME ON THOSE WHO WANT THIS DONE, SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!

I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF ONE PIEBALD AND ONE DAPPLE. I JUST LOVE THEIR PERSONALITIES!! MY PIEBALD HAS THE BEST PERSONALITY!!!
 

I don't have a piebald but I think they are beautiful! I don't think the pattern is any different than a dapple (are they next?) which I do have. If I had the chance to have a piebald I would in a second. Save the piebalds!

I truly believe the piebalds are the most striking pattern! I have found many also have the best conformation. The "most common" colors seem to have been so over bred. It is no different than the "party" cocker spaniels-which are no more than "piebald". I love the piebalds... if AKC fears us in the show ring....maybe we need to form a new showing standard, and start doing our own shows....NO REDS, NO DAPPLES....just piebalds!
