I had a long haired yellow black male in a litter that had unusually short hair just in his head? I posed pics in the photo section so he could be compaired...

Yes this one looked like a short haired from the neck up and a long haired from the neck down. That is a good explanations. I did not keep him. He went to the...
... Have others ever seen this in a litter? I have not seen one nor heard of it. It would be interesting to do a couple of test matings if and when one pops...
... As I said to Linda on the phone the other night, that's a rather neat variation and very distinctive. ... That's too bad (though understandable). This is...
... I think it's probably more accurate to think of it the same way as a mosaic spot. Chances are, it's the same mechanism. A mutation, yes, but a somatic...
I am going to try and explain my experience. I received an e-mail from an owner informing me of this topic. I few years ago, when I was younger, I purchased a...

Hey everyone, As we draw closer to the show I can't help but be excited. Originally I didn't think I was going to be able to make it, but now the tickets are...
One other thing I just had pointed out to me is that while there are quite a number of folks with Syrians on the East Coast, there seem to be fewer with the...
... Nichole, I do have a question about the little guys. In reading the show paperwork, it says only "Dwarf", without mentioning specific species. Are Robs...
