If they look like Claire then they are choclate and tan dapple. Red dapples are easiest to tell when they are pups because as they mature the dapple usually fades. I'm always weary of breeders who can't tell what puppies true color/pattern is. Buuuuut, lol, I'm not trying to tell ya what to do or anything. I bet they are super cute no matter what and it's not their fault.

Oh and I just wanted to add that in all honesty if she's not an experienced breeder I can see how her calling them red dapple would happen. I say that because red merle aussies look alot like Clarie but red in dachshunds is so different. It's no where near the same. Ok, sorry, I could go on forever about dachshunds and their colors. lol
