Thanks, it's just nice having the puzzle answered.
Oh and it's WTFFarm NOT W-T-F ! Guess you can call me WTFF for short. Maybe I'll sign back in under "miniwhinny" as I have that account still registered lol.
Thanks for the invite, I'll come on over . Also I will get him tested...guess you never know until you find out.
I don't think I was clear in my explanation of the color..I also don't think you can hide the brindle marks. They're either there and seen or they're not. I think some colors show...
Welcome from the Oregon High Desert
Loved looking at your website. I'm glad you found "us" here.
You live in a gorgeous part of the world. I went to college in Sheffield but my best friend was from York so we used to go there often.
Please don't take offense at this suggestion but if your outlook is to be suspicious of the good in people and you have a hard time trusting...maybe you'd benefit from some counseling. Usually those feelings come from issues deep within yourself. Being able to see where it comes from may help...
I think one of the biggest mistakes women make is thinking they can "change" their husbands. I mean you can fix small things we can all learn to do that but you can't change someone's total personality...not permanently. If it's not there to start with it won't be there after
I think you've figured it out...don't go anywhere with them again
and welcome to the world of parenting...with a 19 year old in college and a 16 year old still in HS believe me...you'll bump into parents like this many times in your future. Just like everything else in life there are folks out...
I haven't contacted Celia Penedo just because I didn't think there was a test for brindle. I may contact her and send her some hair samples but probably not 'til the spring. I really hope he's not a chimera. I highly doubt it because they are so rare. It would be nice to be able to produce a few...
With the top pole vaulter in the Central Valley Conference, a dirt biker who never stays on the ground and mini's who never seem to walk anywhere "Where They Fly" seemed the perfect fit for the farm name I've searched for .
Susanne, I'm very sure the brindle pattern gets hidden. Just like...
Thanks MiniV, I remember the first time I saw him the morning he was born at your place. Being a huge fan of duns I couldn't for the life of me figure out how a non dun had all those strong shoulder bars.
(e-mail me your ideas now you've got me wonderiing lol ).
Thanks Riverdance
Yep that hair texturing seems to be one consistant trait from everything I've read and been told.
I'm 100% with you on not breeding just for color too. If Ozy didn't have a combination of awesome conformation, perfect bite, straight legs, great bloodlines and a perfect...
Thanks for the advice Rabbitsfizz. You have a good point. I'd never given chimera a thought (sure hope he's not lol)
I was hoping you'd spot this post because I thought of you when I heard he was brindle as you've always shown an interest when I've posted about him before (under "miniwhinny")...
Gosh, this little guys color has confused me since the day he was born, just a couple of weeks ago I said he wasn't brindle - even though every day when I look at him I swore he was.
Well the confusion is over. I submitted a load of pictures over the past couple of weeks and just felt a big...
While I think "you made your bed, you lie in it " is a little harsh I do have some similar advice - You're 40 years old and unless you are bound and tied then NOONE can make you do anything that you don't physically and mentally decide to then do. If your husband said "make dinner" and you did...
Oh I'm with you on the price lol. Also check the humane society. Last year ours have a purebred bengal momma with a large litter who was turned over because the owner lost their job and home etc and they adopted them out for the same adoption fee as all the other kitties.
I have a part bengal and she's more like a dog than a cat lol. She's my "barn" cat. If you want one shop around - it's like everything else in life - you can find really big ranges in price. Some "top" show breeders want $1500-$2500 for a show kitty some small breeders who can still have top...
OH Matt,
I'm just so heartbroken. If your big sis is anything like you then she is a very kind, sweet soul. WIsh there was just something that I could do but if nothing else you, your sis and your family will be in my thoughts.
(((((((HUGS)))))))
