A piebald dog is one that is white and black or brown. Your dog is not
a piebald. I don't think that piebald is a controversial color---but
double dapples are. If a dapple is bred to a dapple, there is a good
chance that the puppies will be born deaf and blind. Unfortunately
puppy mills do breed double dapples. Reputable breeders will not.

I have heard that yes, dachsies do agility. Since they do it with the
very low jumps, I don't think it's bad for them. It certainly is a
great outlet for their energy and teaches them obedience! Go for it!
