Do American Cockers Come In Brindle?

Brindle is a dominant pattern, so if a Poodle can carry brindle the American wouldn't have to.

But how common is the brindle gene in Poodles? Same as the black and tan Rottweiler x Labradors I saw a while ago. The tan pattern gene does happen in Labs but it's extremely rare apparently. I'd put money on there being another breed responsible :)

I'd say its pretty uncommon. I don't know the mode of inheritance but I do know that I've never seen one or heard of one in this country.

Thanks for your replies.

I do think there's some fibbing going on on the part of the breeder of this pup. American cocker mum and black poodle dad. Gorgeous puppy, even if a bit excitable and bitey, (every spoodle I've ever groomeed has been severely lacking in bite inhibition. Odd, that.) The owner was happy though, which is what matters.

Bite inhibition has to be taught. Given that buyers of DDs don't tend to be experienced dog owners and get bugger all advice from their dogs breeders, my guess is that failure to address the issue in their pups is the root cause of that issue.

Early separation of pups from littermates doesn't help either. :)

Hmmmm...... something new for Deshonko Kennels maybe :D Think of the money they could make with this new rare breed :)

Any idea what colour their parents were? Solid colours can mask brindle (eg. in SBTs) so two solids could produce brindle offspring.

I attempted (after much begging on the owners part) to clip a spoodle several years ago that was so aggressive it really needed to be pts - it was seriously psycho - never seen anything like it and no it had not been mistreated or had a bad experience at a previous groomer etc - owners were at their wits end.
