Brindle Breeding

Question
Hi there, we have a black brindle (some call onyx brindle or reverse brindle) and we are wondering what the puppy colouring possibilities are if we breed to a "proper" brindle? What is the best colour to breed to if we are looking to produce brindle puppies?

Both blood lines have brindle in them.

Thank you

Answer
The base color shall be yellow gold and always brindled with strong black cross stripes in a chevron pattern. A black mask is preferred. Black should appear on the eye rims and eyebrows, and may appear on the ears and tail tip. The more intensive the base color and the more distinct and even the brindling, the more preferred will be the color. Too much or too little brindling are equally undesirable. White markings at the chest and toes, black fronted, dirty colored brindles are not desirable.

With that being said, there is only TWO acceptable colors that a brindle can be bred to are another brindle, and a fawn. The only colors that will be born in the litter are brindle and fawn, and that is if your lines are color pure. If you breed brindle to brindle, you will get brindle and fawn puppies If you breed brindle to fawn you will get brindle and fawn.
