Dog Colours

[Scotty]

Just latly we are haveing lots of photos of old dogs , new dogs, and esspecialy pups

we are all picking our fave colours, this reminded of whishy Was one of the legend stud dogs of the past. No matter what colour bitch he mated all the pups were blue or black, some had a white blase but no parti colours. and he mated at least fifty bitches, at his peak the kennel club said what he was producing was imposible but there was no record of any other colour, unless someone on here knows different.

Back to the pups i love the black one Lol

Some of the whippet folk on here are well up on stuff like this (Judy for one!), i know thats what i've always been told about only ever throwing blue's or blacks.

If Whishy Was was black both sides geneticaly ( homozygous), so as to speak, he would only throw blacks (or blues if he carried the blue dilution gene when mated to a bitch carrying the blue dilution gene, in a 3:1 ratio)

in one of the breeding books i read it said that brindle and fawn were dominant to all other geans, but wishey only produced blues and blacks, even to bridles.

Brindle is dominant but how can you tell if a black dog is brindle?

Book was wrong as fawn is not dominant to black.

Can't understand why the Kennel club should say it was impossible. Wishy Was was regestered with the Kennel Club in 1970 as a black. His father was blue and his mother black. If all his pups were black or blue he was obviously genetically black/black carrying the dilute gene for blue. If he threw no partis then he wasn't carrying the particolour gene either. What the hell was their problem? Mad! :wacko:
