Unfortunately, I don't do facebook. Will you be doing a website? I know many breeders are moving to facebook only.

I also was curious. Is brindle uncommon in your breed? You said that your Kira was a very sought after pup, which made me wonder. I'm pretty well versed in color genetics of boxers, and I assume it's the same with other breeds. I know that the brindle is gene is dominant, so it would seem that brindle would be pretty easy to achieve in any breed. I'm very partial to my brindles and, as my children pointed out to me, I tend to decorate in brindle. Lol.

No idea about the genetics but you should see this girl, she is stunning. It could be her particular pattern/coloring. She almost looks like a tiger coat. I'm sure he has posted pics of her in here somewhere.

I have seen her. She's gorgeous. Her coloring is like boxers with very light brindling - sparse striping on a fawn base. It's not all that rare in the boxer breed, so I was wondering if it was in CAOs.

yes people are calling from all over the world asking about her and when she will have puppies i already have reservations!!!!!! as Cao s are concerned brindle is not common and especially Kira she is not even typical brindle but rather tiger looking almost orange with stripes with very well outlined white sleeves...and on top of that she is really huge for a female already 155 lbs at 14 months and pretty tall
Boxer girl: sure a website is next and soon!

Thank you for the answer. Assuming all dog color genetics are the same, you shouldn't have any problem establishing a good brindle line. I look forward to watching your kennel grow. Please update when your website is live.

@Boxergirl so Pippa is reverse brindle meaning apricot base and black stripes. Is that correct? Regular brindle is black base with colored stripes?

The color names for different breeds is not always the same. In a boxer reverse brindle means that the stripes are so close together that the dog appears dark, sometimes even black (although the boxer doesn't carry a black gene so it's just really heavy brindling). Boxers that look black are called seal. It's very striking. I have one regular red brindle and one reverse brindle. The really light brindling that makes the dog look like a tiger isn't terribly rare in boxers, but it's also not necessarily sought after in the breed.

In a mastiff, reverse brindle means that the light under coat is more prominent than the stripes. It confused me when I first started learning about the mastiff breed because it was the opposite of boxers. I'd consider Pippa a reverse brindle.

Did you know that brindle dogs have striped skin? I fostered a dog with severe demodex and the only way we know he was brindle was because his skin was pigmented.
