Save The Piebald in the Show Ring!!!
They have proven themselves in families and are AKC Champions of Quality!! Color of Coat is Immaterial.
 

 
The more color the more character!
A DACHSHUND is a Dachshund, no matter what Size, Coat or Color.
CEDARHRUST DACHSHUNDS have been bred and OWNER/HANDLER EXHIBITED SINCE 1956..enjoy our website.
 
      



YES save the Pattern for all to enjoy!

My lovely CLV ROWDY AT CEDARHURST MLP ("ROWDY") Chocolate Piebald boy pictured above was Winners Dog at Duluth, MN All Breed Show for an other point towards his Championship July 14,2007 He also has a 3 point major.

Having owned a black and tan, a red, and a silver dappled dachshund, we now own a two piebald dachshunds. I love the different coats, and colors that all the dogs, have, but the piebalds bring even more great attention to the breed. I can understand the purity of the breed argument, but seems to me that the popularity would also matter. We can't go anywhere that people won't stop us and ask us about them.
 

Proud owner of 6 mini dachshunds...4 of them are piebalds.
I personally think that AKC needs to focus more on the double dapple pattern...and leave the pies alone!
 

Our Mommy thinks we are just PERFECT!

Dachshund Alexis Sonia, not a piebald she is a dapple
I am signing because every dog needs protection
 

I LOVE the piebalds - Little Nell, on the left, is my first pie, and her coloring is fantastic. I see no reason to bar them; if you are going to do that, why not also bar the dapples, brindles, etc. etc. LEAVE THEM ALONE - they're adorable!!

I love my little piebald Indiana so much. He's my second dachshund and he is most definitely a DACHSHUND. He is unique and we are constantly told how beautiful he is, not to mention that he is the sweetest, most loving little guy. Please count me, my husband, and most definitely Indy as PRO-PIE!

I love the piebald dachshunds.
They have so much personality and beauty to boot!!!

    

I have a female mini silver dapple dachshund.
It makes no sense that the beautiful piebald pattern should be excluded from the Dachshund’s breed standard, since it exists in the dog’s gene pool and has been recognized historically. Concerns about health problems should be examined through more rigorous scientific study and attentive breeding, not through absolute dismissal of a pattern. Save the beautiful and unique piebalds!
 

Color and pattern has nothing to do with performance.
Piebalds are beautiful and deserve to be shown!!

I have 2 red pies, 2 blk/tan, and 1 choc/tan. I love them all the same. The pie is just a color. They are not a poor bred dachshund. My 2 pies are just as healthy and wonderful as any dachshund. Keep the pies. I love the pattern and sure will have more in the future.
 
  

Piebald is no different than black and tan or any other color/pattern. The color of the coat has nothing to do with performance or confirmation. Are they going to say all Beagles must have the same markings? Get your act together AKC or you're going to rule and regulation yourself out of existence. We aren't going to stand back and let you run all over us.
 

Save the Piebalds!
 
  

What, can't believe that...you guys are too cute and perfect...just look at all these beautiful pictures!!

My family has a breeding pair of mini's and we love them. We also are very fond of piebalds. Put our name on the petition. Sincerely The Davis Family
 
         

I vote to save the piebald!!!!!!!
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his inspirational "I have a dream" speech to a quarter of a million people. ,40 years ago, on April 4, 1967 said
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character."
I am not owned by a piebald I am owned by a silver dapple, and in the past I have had two black and tan. However, as in the example above I did not chose the dachshund breed for the color of their fur, but for the character the poses.
They are devoted, protective, and affectionate and love their people very much! They have an inquisitive, and energetic, nature and an impish sense of humor and a strong desire to be close to the humans they own. They are clever, lively and courageous to the point of rashness, persevering in above- and below-ground work They follow their noses like bird dogs and have selective hearing like most men, but this only makes us love them more.
I have had mini dachshunds for almost 35 years and will always have these independent, happy dogs in my life.
They are the "perfect" dog. no matter what color their fur is.!!!

I think that piebald’s should be part of the AKC standard. They are dachshunds too! My Pie Buster, is the most doxiest of all my doxies!
 

I would like to sign the petition to save the piebalds. I do not own a piebald but I have had dachshunds in my home and my life for over 25 years. We LOVE them - and to me the piebald is another color of a wonderful breed - why should they be discriminated against? Because they are beautiful? Because they have different colorations? I think these are pluses as opposed to minuses!

I drove 8 hours to pick up my precious piebald. He looks more like a dachshund than my red haired “popular type” doxie. Please don’t give up on the piebald!!

All dachshunds should be equal regardless of color or breed, they are all smart and beautiful animals. Please don't eliminate the Piebalds. I vote for them.

We have four miniature dachshunds, none of which are piebalds. But that doesn't mean that we wouldn't welcome one into our home, to join our pack! The color of their fur isn't why we love them, what gives them their personality, or even determines their ability to perform. If you have a treat, do they not beg? Piebalds are beautiful, and should be able to show that beauty with the rest of the breed!!

L.B. is my first Piebald, and I can tell you that these pictures don't do him justice. He is absolutely beautiful, as I feel all piebalds are. Since when does a dog's color determine if he can do all the things he was bred to do? If the world was meant to not have piebald, dapple, or brindle dachshunds, there wouldn't be any. Our society has been taught not to discriminate against a person because of race, shouldn't this also ring true for dogs? My dog has so many wonderful abilities and traits, which are neither hindered nor excelled by his pattern. This whole notion is just ridiculous. If you ask me, L.B.'s piebald pattern is just an added bonus to this incredible little dog! Please save the piebalds!!!
 

 

Piebald should be saved because they’re Dachshund, they’re smart, very talented. We love Piebalds and all Dachshund!
 

I think Piebalds are one of the most prettiest of the dachshund colors.
I am extremely proud of mine! And I love them dearly.

They are dachshunds too! I do have a friend who breeds this color....
I want to help save them...

I own and raise Dachshunds, and several of them are piebalds. They are my favorite variety of dachshund!! Banning them from the standard is a disgrace to the breed...they are just as important to the future of the dachshund as any of the other colors/patterns. I hope that the piebald community can change the minds of those responsible for dictating what *makes* a true dachshund!
