Do all blue roans...

[tiamaria]

Have the white on their heads? If so is it a genetic thing like the tan on black and tan? Sorry if its a daft question, its just something iv often wondered? 

[Gunner]

Good question  be interesting to find out as Gunner has a white blob on his head 

[tiamaria]

I think most of the blue roans iv seen have, and it looks very similar, quite diamond shaped! Oh the silly questions i have in this head of mine! 

[MegandMolly]

Molly has white spot on top of her head too! (will now be analysing cocker markings on next col meet!)

Molo had a white spot on his head when he was a pup, but it's almost gone now and he just has a few white hairs 

Blue roan markings seem to be linked to the line/ancestry of the dog;  from the pictures I have seen on COL, it seems that dogs with Bitcon in their ancestry often share common facial and leg markings

Alfie is black and white ticked, he has something similar in reverse i.e a big black 'dot' which has now moved further back and down as his skull is developing. His breeder described it to us as 'the prophets thumb'.  Not sure if it is the same as you mean though? His dad had this too, that was how we ended up with Alfie, I fell in love with his daddy at a show. 

I am interested too, it must be gentic I would have thought??

Watching this now, please someone clever put us out of our misery, how do it work?

Im off to the parti-colours to look at photos! (I really must get out more)

In the same way as some children share a distinctive characteristic with one or other parent - it works exactly the same way in dogs 

Lil'bit has the same distinct nose shape as OH, and his mum and her siblings and his maternal grandmother all have it too

Saw you both there  

All the blue roans I looked at have THE dot  

[tiamaria]

Seen a few without  - but they seemed more black and white, or they had the white running straight through the nose across the head. This is something i shall always watch for! As im sure many more will now!  Sorry everyone! 

[Max X 2]

Max's white but is in the shape of a halo  - Its fading though 

[Letichia]

Good question! Both my two have white dots on their head!

I have seen lots of blue roans without the white on the top of the head.
