Mini Dachshunds

i have 2 mini dachshund i was told when i got the first one he was a piebald the next one a femle and i was told she is a double dapple, thay are both white with red

A piebald has inherited a recessive white gene that allows for white spotting or patches to occur in the color.

The double dapple is caused by breeding two merles together and is more correctly referred to as a homozygous merle. The dominant double merle gene, like the piebald gene, causes white patterns, but in this case can cause a wide assortment of physical defects when two copies are inherited. The health consequences vary from mild to severe affecting hearing and vision. Some homozgous merle (double dapple) puppies are born deaf, others blind and in the worst cases both.

They are both about 5 months old.

Any other suggestions would be great. I’m trying to switch to something better for them. Thank you.

(Right now I feed them Nutro Natural Choice Small Bites Puppy)

Nutro Natural is a good dog food why do you want to change it. Look for something that will keep their weight down. If they gain weight they could get back problems later in life.
