Yes, basically what Lupus has said is correct... it will depend on whether the dam carries white which is recessive on the E locus, a white phenotype...
The mutations that cause bobtail are most certainly 'natural' in that they first occurred without human input but this doesn't mean that their...
I believe the standard in the country of origin has now been ammended to make the natural bobtail a major fault in the Boxer, and this has been...
Wow! Have they ever been seen in the same room together?
Moobli, that photo in the water is just absolutley beautiful. Black and tans in most breeds do lighten a lot, especially saddle marked dogs....

Oh you're so right about that! I offered to set up a scheme to help funding, as other breeds had done, but I was told not to worry. I don't suppose...
