punnett squares
If you have not thoroughly read my dachshund genetics pages, you may not understand much of this, why it occurs, or how to relate one set of data to the other.  So, go back and read that stuff first!
These punnett squares, based on mendelian genetics, predict what you can produce from mating different dachshund sires and dams. (It does not matter which coat/color/pattern attribute the sire or dam has; if you reverse them, the results will be the same. In other words, no coat/color/pattern attribute is sex-specific in dogs. A couple are in cats, but thankfully that's a different matter.) These tables can also be used for other breeds, but for those of you using them for such a purpose, please note that your breed may not have every coat/color/pattern attribute and may have one or two others that are not listed here. The following are all the possible coat combinations, all the possible color combinations, and all but one, possibly two, of the possible pattern combinations that are found in the dachshund breed.
The statistics from these charts are based on whether each individual puppy may turn out a certain way, not whether an entire litter will turn out a certain way. The latter assumption, called the gambler's fallacy, is based on different misconceptions that can be read about here. Because each gene has two alleles of the same trait in one dog, it means that each parent dog can pass one or the other on to its puppy — i.e., it has, by definition a 50/50 chance per pup of passing one or the other on.
