    Brindle Cocker Spaniels??

    While walking Russell tonight a man stopped to pet him and remarked that his mom has an elderly cocker spaniel - brindle colored. I have never heard of such a thing in my life - do they exist? I searched online and I only got one hit -

    A news article about a man who is mourning his "blonde and brindle" cocker spaniel. I can't even imagine a brindle cocker, let alone blonde and brindle, say wha? Can anyone enlighten me?

    If they do, maybe that's what Joey's mixed with LOL.  I've never seen one - maybe he has it confused with a carian terrier.

    My Jo Jo's  brindle and we think he is part carian, lhasa, and something a little taller.

    By the way, thanks, Jones, for the training advice.  When we first started obedience training I think I became a little too serious.  You know "he has to do this, this way" and so on.  I'm taking his behavior alot less seriously with more understanding.  Thanks again.

    Wow, that's cute.  Probably because it looks an awful lot like what I have.  Makes me all teary eyed.

    Aw, don't thank me, you're making me blush. I'm glad you and Jojo are doing better!
     
    Thanks for the link on merle Cockers, maybe that's what it was... or roan, or even sable, who knows. He probably heard the word "brindle" somewhere and repeated it! [:)] I was just curious because at times I have been surprised to learn about colors and patterns some breeds come in... like the array of Doxie colors, or the Fox Red Labs. Just wondering if maybe I missed something with the Cockers! The merles are cute, though not much different than roans really.
