Not a Berner cross
My latest weekend guest signed in as a Berner cross. She's a
big girl, but I don't see Berner: http://www.rocky-dog.com/Daycare/Shylah01.jpg http://www.rocky-dog.com/Daycare/Shylah02.jpg She roughly measures in at 26", is 2.5 years old, is playful outside, and very relaxed inside. I see predominately a Golden Retriever and no Bernese Mountain Dog. Any ideas? -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

: Golden x Collie? Yes, a very possible cross. Color fits, coat type fits and body and head shape fit. I still wouldn't rule a Berner as a totally impossible parent - Berner x Collie cross might give this kind of dog too although I would expect to see more white on such a cross. Liisa |

She's tall, but not very bulky. All of the Berners I know are "thick" dogs, but I suppose that her slight (if such a large dog can be called "slight") build may be from the Collie side. Temperament-wise, I see more Berner in her than Golden Retriever. When she gets picked up tomorrow, I'll ask if they know the cross for sure or if it was a guess. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

This dog is a sable (dark tipped hairs on it's ears and tail) and I can see a faint widow's peak, which is common on sable collies. And a Golden x Collie could have a minimal amount of white like this dog. I would think a Berner x Collie would have a lot more white since, on the whole, both breeds sport a lot of chrome. I would also think a Berner x sable Collie would result in a dark (AKA Mahogany) sable since it would be tri-factored (would have to have one tri gene from a Berner parent). Pure-for-sables can be very light like this dog but tri-factored sables often have a dark distinct widow's peak, dark ears and a dark overlay on it's back, rump and down it's tail.

It is true that sable Collies on average have more than this one when their genotype is Ayat, but this dog is a cross. No matter if the other parent comes from a breed with no sables, it still has genes which decide how much black shading there is in a sable coat. This dog might have inherited lots of "clear sable, no black" modifiers from the non-Collie parent. Liisa |

Could be a little chow in there (have seen very similar chow/golden mixes), could be a little gsd? -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bestfr...bedience/album |
