Avongara Jini of Brushy Run with puppies

  • Jasper came from an all brindle litter. Mom was a red, Dad was a brindle.

  • Oh, I just looked at the parents again, so mom is red, and dad is brindle. I would guess that he is probably homozygous for brindle…so the odds are increased that there would be more brindles, than if he was hetro for brindle.

    I know of at least one breeder that bred two brindles together and only got reds.

    Does that sound right Lisa?

    I find it all very confusing to be honest.:confused:

  • And here is one of Jini's daughters - Twigas Thimba aka Elsa at age of + 8 months. She resides in Finland, and is very much beloved of Dakarai Basenjis :-)

    Upps…got only reds??? Is that possible?

  • Beautiful B's dakarai…...and welcome!

  • Thank you Basenji_Boy! :D

    Yes. Two brindles bred together can produce reds. Two reds bred together cannot produce brindles.

    Quercus is correct about homozygous brindles (carries 2 genes for brindle). If both parents are homozygous brindles, there will only be brindle puppies. If both parents are heterozygous brindles (only one gene for brindle each) or if one parent is red and the other brindle then both brindles and reds, or a whole litter of either color, are possible.

    (This assumes that there are no other colors/patterns in the equation other than brindle and red.)

  • Lovely dogs!
    How lucky you are to own them.

  • WOW What Beauties!!!!!!!!!! You must be a proud B parent :D

    I think basenjis are the most beautiful creatures - running full out like that and having all feet off the ground, so close to just flying! But Miss Ono is very special too. Thank you for sharing such lovely pictures.

    I held all three and don't remember any of them squirming. So you should be good! I'll definitely have to come up there now. I'm excited! :)
