Trisven13 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Cool - I love baby puppies with stripes!!! I wonder what it is that causes the stripes and why some breeds have them and some don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizT Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The stripy pups all look wrinkly! Amazing...must have something to do with the colour rather than the breed?? Dare I say it.... ;) I wonder if blue Staffys are born with stripes? Could fetch a higher price yaknow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHRP Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wow More breeds with stripes, are there any others? Vizsla pups can have 'stripes' :D Picture stolen from Luv Vern in the Vizsla thread :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 LizT! I always thought it was due to coat type, as often the Longhair weims aren't born with stripes, but the fauves have such a different coat type to the danes and the weims that theory is out of the window!!

Trisven13 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wow its really cool to know that there are other breeds (or colours within breeds) that are also born stripy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It's something to do with 'ghosting' in the genetic colour. The colour appears but then leaves because of the dominant colour withing the hair. Colour genetics is very complex (more than my brain can handle) My red pups can be born almost black and develop their red colour over many weeks.

SwaY Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) It's linked to the dilute gene, the stripes are commonly called 'ghosting'. ETA spelling. Edited December 12, 2011 by SwaY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks for that guys - I'll have to research it. I find colour genetics very confusing too Angelsun but I'll have to try to get my head around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 I realize after reading this that I have seen it on my ruby cavs. The only pic I have does not show it. Shall have to look aty other pics. I had put it down to being half wet. I have pics of s black and tan boy that was all black at birth and developed his tan as he aged. I have seen this in coloured shepherds that have been posted on DOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often with the Arabian foal you get a foal born chestnut with a white blaze and three white socks and you think you've got a "chestnut" but if it has a purplish tinge around the eyes you will end up with a grey as an adult!

Bilbo Baggins Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Zarah has been xrayed and no babies. She had since passed a big poo that was obvious on the xray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuilos Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So sorry BB. I am sure they would have been lovely pups like Zarah's Mum has produced with the sire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelsun Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sorry to hear this BB. It's always so disappointing when this sort of thing happens. On a positive note...litter one is on the way....I think it could be a long night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
