Here's one for fun..I do know the mother

• Here's one for fun..I do know the mother nymaureen Posted : 12/14/2006 8:11:34 PM I think I may have posted this quite awhile back. In fact it may have been on the old board, so many would not have seen it. As the subject says, I do know the mother and have her picture also. I'll post it also after a bit. It sure surprised me when I was told who this dog's mother was. They go to a groomer friend of mine and I saw them at her shop.

• rwbeagles Posted : 12/14/2006 9:37:05 PM Awww...she looks like our dearly departed Zeus.

• brookcove Posted : 12/15/2006 1:46:27 AM There's got to be either collie or Border collie in there. Looks like an Old Farm Collie as they call them. I'd love to see the ears. Husky maybe? Or Malamute? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• nymaureen Posted : 12/15/2006 11:35:23 AM From seeing him myself, I would have thought that possibly his Dad was more like a tri-color collie than an aussie. He is smaller than a collie, but he does have the collie rough and coat type. So now you know that this doesn't appear to have come from the mother...although it may have been in her genes, but it certainly wasn't in her looks...so anymore guesses on what the mom may have been. I will say that she is a mix. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• brookcove Posted : 12/17/2006 9:32:17 PM She's shaved, right? Beardie/husky or malamute. That's wild! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• nymaureen Posted : 12/17/2006 10:27:10 PM She's been scissored short. I have no idea what she is, but she appears to be a terrier type mix of some sort. Suppose she might be a beardie mix. Anyway, I just couldn't believe it when they told me she was the mother to the first picture that I showed. It just goes to show how hard it really is to tell what the background might be, since we are often dealing with many more than two breeds. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 12/17/2006 11:24:47 PM My experience with mixed breeds is this:   If you can "see" a definite breed then IMO one of the parents was pretty darned likely mostly or all...that breed. Breeds...esp the older ones are prepotent for certain things. They get a say in HALF the outcome...wheras the other parent...say 1/2 this and 1/2 that...or even 13/ 1/3 1/3...not so much input or influence. I say daddy had a lot to say on this one puppy...others maybe not so much since they might've had completely different pops! lol....   BTW...rough coat is recessive I believe...so for the pup to present with a beard daddy would either have had to have had one....or had a parent with one, so the lack of beard and furnishing doesn't shock me in a mix. Phantom...the pattern might also be...not sure. I do know Tricolor is a very dominant gene... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• brookcove Posted : 12/19/2006 8:54:38 PM The beardie gene is dominant, but that doesn't help since the gene still has to be passed on to be expressed. Border Collies do carry the beardie gene but it shows if it's there since it's dominant. Here's a bearded Border Collie (all of the dogs in this pic are purebred except James who is 1/32 working bred Beardie): 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
