Claire is a purebred AKC miniature Dachshund with a naturally good-natured and loving spirit. Gentle yet inquisitive, she explores her world with soft curiosity and a warm, affectionate heart. Her sweet temperament and loyal presence make her a truly special companion. She loves to go on walks and car rides, smelling all the surrounding. Genetics, written in plain language – Coat Color & Trait Summary is genetically recessive red (ee at the E locus), meaning she cannot produce black or brown hair anywhere on her coat. Her coat is entirely made up of red pigment (pheomelanin). Because of this, genes that normally create black patterns (such as black & tan, sable, or saddle tan) are present but not visible in her appearance. She does not carry mask (Em), grizzle/domino (Eg, Ea, Eh), or dark shading variants, so her coat expression is clean and uniform. Red intensity genes strongly favor cream, resulting in a very light cream coloration, which aligns well with what is commonly described as English Cream in Dachshunds. At the K locus (ky/ky), She does not carry dominant black, meaning her coat color is controlled by the A locus—however, this is masked by her ee status. At the A locus, she is Ay/Ay (sable) genetically, but this is not expressed because she is recessive red. She is:    •   Not dilute (DD) – no blue or Isabella risk    •   Not chocolate/brown (BB) – black-based pigment genetically, though not expressed    •   No saddle tan modifier    •   No panda white spotting    •   No albinism or pigment disorders She has a smooth/long coat without furnishings (no wire hair), and her coat traits align with standard longhaired Dachshund texture. ⸻ She is a genetically clean, light cream, longhaired Dachshund with no hidden mask, domino, dilute, or chocolate traits. She consistently produces cream-based puppies when paired appropriately.
