Queen Bitch Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 [quote name='Mutts4Me'] *edit* A bit confused about the brindled Dalmatian, I looked it up and found out that the spots were brindle-striped: [img]http://dalmatians.home.att.net/Closeupbrindlesection.jpg[/img][/quote] A fun fact, occasionally Dals end up being tricolor, as in they will have their normal colored spots but with have brown points on their legs and such like a Dobe or a Rott.

gooeydog Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Dachshunds come in brindle too, here's a pic of one: [img]http://www.drwp.net/images/colorado_lilly.jpg[/img] The dog above is named Lilly, and is up for adoption through Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue: [url]http://www.c2cdr.org/[/url] Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 You know when I was searching for pictures of brindle breeds, I found many interesting facts. For instance, I didnt know how many colors border collies came in! :o In the link I gave theres quite a few different colors. There was plenty of brindle chihuahuas in my search too and I found that there are many people breeding for it as a new trend. :roll: Just like with blue pits. Also there was claims of brindle rotties. I never found any pictures as of yet but I plan of researching some more as I find this topic to be very interesting. *EDIT* I did more research and I found that brindle used to be a common color for Rotties but now they are only breed as black and tan. Oh and I found some old picures of the GSD before some kennel clubs ruined the breed. Please dont argue with me about tthat though its just my opinion and there was another thread about it, but I dont want to start another fight over it. Anyway though, its amazing how much the breed has changed.

LisaH Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 My neighbors had Shepherds when we were kids. They look so different today. Great old pics of them :D Quote

__crazy_canine__ Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Ok Im on a roll with brindle dog pictures! :lol: THese are brindle pugs BUT breeders have been trying to make them different and a new breed. They are now called Mini-Mastiffs. [img]http://www.brindlepug.com/images/3Brindles.jpg[/img] Three puppies. [img]http://www.brindlepug.com/images/minima8.gif[/img] An adult "Mini-Mastiff" Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Its possible that they are Dutch shepherds, after all not all internet sources are reliable... :-? Quote

They are now called Mini-Mastiffs.[/quote] Brindle was not a part of the Pug gene pool until recently. Most of the first ones were coming from pet stores, and had heads that looked amazingly reminiscent of a Boston or Frenchie :o No reputable Pug breeder will have brindles. Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Oh I realize, Odnarb, about these dogs because I read about them and thats how I got the pictures. Actually they were bred from Chinese Pugs and St. Bernards, although I find it hard to believe they got brindles from the pairing or that the size stayed the same as the pugs but I suppose after breeding and breeding you could change the size and coloring. These dogs are a "new breed" ( :roll: ) and are not pugs, as you may have thought! Thats the reason for them being called "Mini-Mastiffs" because they want to keep the breeds from getting mixed up. See Ive done my research! :D :wink: Quote

Did you come across any pics of those? Quote
