Hi all,

I am trying to fill in some color information for whippets in my groups pedigree(s) and am stuck on the following whippets:

Chilka Dairy Maid

Chilka Dusky Dame

Nav Anna of Nevedith

Siobahn of Hillsdown

Sakonnet Alfalfa

Katie of Bewdisan

Sporting Fields Genes that Fit

Broadstrider's By George

Gatsby's Gypsy

Sporting Fields Gatsby's Mimi

Shilo'a Avia of Sporting Field

Also, does anyone know if Nevedith Dawn Dazzler was sired by Nipper of Nevedith or by Aust Ch Nevedith Call Me Dash?

Thanks in advance for all of your help. :)

If Nevedith Dawn Dazzler was born in 1990 he was sired by Nipper of Nevedith.

Have you tried the Whippet Archive site, it maybe of some use to you.

Nipper of Nevedith it is, then! Thanks.

I did try the Whippet Archive and unfortunately no color info on the dogs I've listed, although the archives were very helpful with other dogs...

Broadstrider's By George was a black brindle and white, Irish Marked.

Shilo's Avia of Sporting Field was fawn brindle and white particolor.
 
Siobhan Of Hillsdown - fawn

Sorry to be dim but what is Irish Marked?

Thank you.





As I understand it, irish-marked refers to a dog who is mostly 'base' colored but has some white on his/her chest, belly, feet, tail tip, muzzle, forehead (star or blaze) as contrasted with a parti color or solid or mostly white dog, the solid being the dominant gene and the others being recessive.

There's a website that explains color genetics in whippets far better than I can at

http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/d/doggone/Homepa...tics%20old.html for anyone interested.

Irish marking as a term comes from the world of fancy rat breeding...it refers to a rat with white feet, a white chest strip, and white tail tip--typical of the so-called Irish Rat.

In dogs, the classic Irish-markings are what you see in the breeds which have strict limitations on the extent of white marking allowed, such as the Boxer or the Corgi.

More reading here...Another writeup.

Apparently the first description of this coat pattern was by a geneticist called Doncaster in 1905 in Norwegian rats but it was also found to a more restricted degree in wild rats from Ireland so it is presumed that that is why he called it "Irish " spotting.

Its found in lots of mammals and many dog breeds.
 
THANKS FOR THE INFO ON IRISH MARKINGS. I WOULD NEVER HAVE DREAMED THAT THE TERM WOULD COME FROM RATS! :wacko:

ORIGINS OF THING ARE FASCINATING.
 
I'll have more info for you tomorrow :)

The lady in my signature is Chilka Dusky Dame's great, great grand-daughter (I think!!)

Well - it would have been, if I'd engaged brain before typing finger!

Mine originate from Chilka Dairy Maid - who as far as I know is Dusky Dame's daughter.

Incidentally - and I'm shooting from the lip again - I'm pretty sure that Dairy Maid whelped Nutshell of Nevedith, who was a Crufts BIS reserve? Then in her next litter to Chilka Gallant Lad she threw 2 nice brindle parti bitches, one of which became my own Ellie, and mother of my recently deceased Hattie below. :)
