Bearing in mind they are wet in some of the photos which will make the colour look darker, I think they are chocolate and tan. Maybe the shading is from being exposed to sunlight as I've seen chocolate dogs that look like they've been bleached but it's just from being out in the sun alot  :D .

It's not a well known breeder, only her 2nd litter.
here is the pedigree. I've blocked out pups name and breeder. it might be a bit big, sorry if it is mods, and I'll try and resize it.


oops, its a bit small, I dont know how to make it bigger

Can't read all the names but can see well known solid & particolour affixes :) I think the most likely explanation is that this is "tiger striping" which will disappear once these pups are adults. I'm still trying to find the pics of similar puppies but not having much luck as it means going through 5 years of postings :lol:

No idea sorry. There are some genetic peculiarities which crop up from time to time which are still not understood - when you have so many different colour genes & modifiers acting with each other (as exist in Cockers) perhaps it is not so surprising that sometimes the unexpected happens :) There's no mention of "tiger striping" in Cockers in any genetics books I've come cross and all you can say for sure is that these pups are not true brindles in the genetic sense as the brindle gene is not known in Cockers (and anyway true brindles stay this colour all their lives). I'd guess they will all end up as black & tans when adult (with or without white markings) but time will tell :)

aww, Karen, You're soo lucky. are you getting one of the puppies from the photo's and if so which one? They are all so gorgeous :wub: . I want one, but OH keeps saying no.

My cousin got a choc and tan dobeman pup on saturday (she alreay has a 2 year old black and tan dobie) and it was so cute. it kept hanging off indie's ears and Indie was swinging it around. He loved playing with the pup. I really really want another one. :wub:

I've just been in touch with a well known breeder who has bred black and tans for YEARS, she says they do look like sable, but she has requested a look at the pedigree as she suspects some puppy farm breeding on the sire side. I'll keep you posted.
