MA Breeder - Page 4

Rufus is beautiful!!!!

I know I sound picky but I think "sable" is a more correct label for this Doodle's coloring, since it refers to the black tipping on the fur. Brindles have a distinct striping on their coats with different colors.

By the way, my vet called our sable guy a brindle when he was newborn, but when he dried off he had no striping to the coloration, and all the breeders who saw the black fur on his face helped me learn that "Jack" was actually sable.

You are tempting me to contact our Doodle family who took Jack to Oklahoma cuz I'm dying to see how he looks now.

Oh, ask Diane sometime to re-show us a picture of her boy Johnson - he's an apricot/cream parti Sable Poodle with that beautiful black tipping on his ears.

Oh, Martha, have you ever seen this link?

I love this link, because of the various examples. Look at "Pippin"! Doesn't he look familiar? Makes me wish I could see him as an adult too!

I hope this helps. Did you keep Rufus for breeding? I hope our boy Keenan gives us more sables this time, with Truffle.

Thanks for the pictures!

So, Maureen, from that web page, what is brindle? Chase looks like he could be brown brindle...is that possible?

Jac, these dogs are brindles and you can see the tiger-like striping in their markings.

By contrast, this poodle has the black shadow-like coloration of a sable, like Linda's Johnson, yet there isn't a distinct patterning to the darker tones:

Our friend and colleague Helene used to have a true brindle Doodle, but she sold him, I guess. I looked but couldn't find his picture on her site anymore.
I hope this helps...and I hope I'm not in trouble for taking these pictures out of the partipoodleworld.com site!

Thanks Maureen! I appreciate the description of the banding effect...that really helps, and seeing the differences is so nice!
Looks like my Chasie is just a fading chocolate...a cafe, at best! LOL (But he sure does carry some great colors...wish I could test them all on various females.)

i too thought sable is due to banded coloring of hair shaft where as brindle shows distinct pattern of striping.

EITHER WAY RUFUS is gorgeous
