Dapple is a pattern seen in Dachshunds.

It is commonly referred to as "Merle" in other breeds of dogs (Collie, Sheltie, Great Dane, Australian Shepherd).

It is important to understand that Dapple is NOT a color, it is a pattern.

A dappled chocolate & tan Dachshund would create a cream marbling effect.
