The present work reports the first description of congenital ureteral ectopy in the canine breed Teckel Dachshund, diagnosed in a female dog with merle colour pattern. The two month old animal, presented with continuous dribbling of urine and bacterial cystitis, was subjected to a diagnostic plan for ectopic ureter. The excretory urography showed a right hidroureter, which had an orifice located caudally to the trigone of the bladder. The animal also presented a bilateral inguinal hernia, which confirmed the case description as a multiple congenital anomaly condition. Animal welfare aspects are also discussed.
