Brindle and black and tan labs

[amy_b]

I recently read about 'chimeric' horses and dogs which is explained alot better than I could HERE (near the bottom)
they are basically twins which have started to develop then one absorbs the other to form one dog/horse
but it could explain brindle labs as most brindle horses are actually chimeric.

This lab is apparently chimeric -

If they were chimeric you wouldnt be abkle to breed for it as it is pot luck and very very rare.

To reiterate, I have an issue with people breeding for colour alone, like the people standing an epilepsy carrier with an score of three on one elbow at stud, simply because he is a cool colour, happening right now as we speak. But hey, they LOVE their dogs.
I also agree that no good dog is a bad colour.
