Coat Color Question
Before anyone asks for pics..I do not have a high definition camera so I can't show you, I will describe as well as I can.
Slayer according to most everyone is a Black and White dog. However in the light half the fur on some areas of her neck and throughout the body are reddish/brown. It almost looks brindled in, but its so faint you only see it in the sun if you are beside her. Is this normal?? |
Very few bull breeds that I've encountered are a TRUE black. She's probably seal http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/smile.png
Jolene's registration has her listed as a white dog with black markings... but she is DEFINITELY white with seal. |
Sounds seal.
|
I thought that might be the case...she looks REALLY black..but then you get her in the sun..or right next to you and you can find little brown furs everywhere.
|
Yup, she's seal! Jolene looks black if she's dirty, and during winter... but when she's clean, and when she blows her coat for summer you can definitely tell. She's a pretty light seal... I've seen some that you really have to look at to tell!
|
LoL..Slayer would fall into the look hard to tell category. I just saw all the little brown furs myself in the last week or two.lol
|
I think those dogs with that REALLY subtle brindle might actually BE genetically brindle. From what I understand... to get brindle pups, one of the parents has to be brindle. I know a male that has that ''hint'' of brindle in certain lighting although he ''looked'' black if you weren't actually looking that hard.... he was bred to a pied dog, with no brindle and had brindle pups, which in turn means one of the parents had to be brindle. I think anyway! http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/lol.gif
|
Interesting..that would be one possible explanation for why there are black furs too
|
The dogs we call "black brindle" are actually genetically fawn brindle, just with HEAVY black overlay. So, it's possible that Slayer could be SO black-overlayed that you BARELY see the stripes http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/smile.png

My girl Venus was like that as well. Looked black but in the right lighting, you could see brindle stripes in there. When I got Nyx as well, I noticed she had one TINY red stripe on her neck. Her previous owners didn't even notice it. That was the first and only time I've ever seen that. I wish I would have taken a picture of it....
|
It's common for puppies/younger dogs to show more brindling, and for it to fade out as they mature. I know a seal pup that had brindle markings on her abdomen that were pretty clear in the sunlight at 8 weeks... now, at 15 weeks, you can't see them hardly at all!
|
I had a black cat that had blacker stripes that you could see in the sun. I never could find an actual color that described it. Or find a picture of any other cat that color. Interesting to hear I wasn't imagining shit, and other animals can be colored the same way. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/lol.gif

So did I!! That is really weird lol. He was the most "dog-like" cat I ever had... slept in a dog house, ate dog food, followed us on walks, tried to bark, and sat on command! lol He looked solid black, except in the sun he looked like a tiger with black-on-black markings! |
Exactly! Look, this shit is getting freaky, lol.
|
Just a little! lol
|
Lol. A little, my ass!
|
It makes me want to get one of those "Getting to know you" quizzes and have us both do it... we'll get to the bottom of this, I tell ya! LOL
|
Lol, fo shizzle. I mean, even our user names are both four letter colours. I JUST noticed that we had that in common too. Freaky, freaky, freaky!
|
Wow,you two. That's almost as freaky as when Pookie and I discovered that we both used to have gay neighbors who we enjoyed watching make out! And we both hate cooked carrots. It's a small world,I tell ya.http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/tongue.png
|
LMAO Pink!! THAT is hilarious. I am really curious to know now what else we have in common!
LOL Chloe... don't spoil our fun! http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/tongue.png (I want gay neighbours...) |
