I was also wondering if the light brindle will fade because that's the one I would like....I love the brindle markings and he looks so much like his mom!!
Julie answered this question above...stripes running along the spine will disappear, stripes running down the sides (in the direction of the ribs) will not disappear.
Brindle stripes tend to spread out as a puppy grows. What this means is a puppy that looks like a reverse brindle can grow up to look like a "normal" brindle. In my gallery is a photo of Buck at 3 wks...he looks pretty dark. But, you can see in the photos of him at an older age he isn't dark at all.
If brindle runs in either of the lines then i thought a brindle could be produced.
No, a fawn Boxer does not carry the brindle gene...if it doesn't carry the gene, it can't pass it on. If it can't pass it on, it can't produce it.
My sister had puppies, and she bred two very dark brindles and got a fawn. So is that normal?
Yes. This tells us that both brindle parents carry 1 copy of the fawn gene. The fawn puppy inherited a copy of the fawn gene from each parent.
and my Mya is very reverse brindle, and in that litter there was fawn and even white.
I don't know the color of Mya's parents but if a litter contains brindle, fawn and white we do know this... There was at last one brindle parent, both parents carried a copy of the fawn gene and both parents were genetically flashy.
