stick 2 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 ok sound. so its not as odd as i thought. theres hope for them yet i have another question... is this what you'd call bronze? funnily enough, i gave 1 bitch and 1 dog a yellow string round their necks and theyve both started going brown Quote Link to post

Terrier Sam 297 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Some of these things can skip a generation or two. I was never too hot on biology so I won't embaress myself but the grandparents could well have had staff in them not so far back and because they were black, you wern't to know. It's similar with lurchers. My uncle has a 3/4 whippet, 1/4 staff (both parents were around 22" and it's turned out fully grown at 16" to the shoulder - its got it's height, or lack of it, from the staff in its dad. Just a thought Sam Quote Link to post
stick 2 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 yeah absolutely no doubt about what it came from, just will have to try harder to find out how far back. just from interest really isnt it. anyway, quick update, thought id share a pic of my keeper bitch now she's more dog-shaped here's one of the brindle offenders in case anyone was curious too... got let down over this male. sure he'll find another home soon though Quote Link to post
CarraghsGem 92 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 even stranger... i once saw a young patterdale type dog that was blue merle about 10yrs ago in spalding lincolnshire, i can only wonder if it had a touch of dachshund in it because it definately had no collie in it and dachshunds carry the merle gene, confused the hell out of me when i saw it, it was being walked by a young chav girl, i was on the bus to work or id have asked her how it was bred, only saw it the 1 time, anyone from the area ever remember seeing that dog?
