More: Stella caught our eye the second we saw her as a 10 week old puppy! We had only seen your typical red dachshunds before! She is known as a piebald! Piebald dogs are called this because their base hair color is white with some type of spotting or coloration on top of that!! I love it when little kids get around her because they argue she’s a, as one little girl put it, fire truck dog!!!
