Brindle, Cream mix with Wheaten

[NDMike]

Anyone have pics of a "brindle" or "cream" Cairn? Reagan is classified as "wheaten" but his dad was classified as "brindle, cream" and his mom was classified as "wheaten" so I'm trying to figure out what color Reagan may end up as. He seems to be lightening a little bit. Thoughts?

This is what I found in the internet on "brindle" and "cream brindle"

It would fun to have the whole dog, but this is still a helpful set of swatches: http://www.lachleen.dk/uk/Farver.htm

It looks like my Kramer is considered red brindle. That was a nice swatch of hair colors. My Missy was brindle but she was solid black.

[Anna_525]

Brad, you are a wealth of knowledge. Alfie looks more red than wheaten based on the swatches...maybe we were wrong all along!

In the meantime when we got his doggie license, the town clerk looked at my husband with a weird face when he said wheaten. She would only allow tan to go on the record!

[bradl]

I just call 'em all 'brindle' and leave it at that :-)

I think Brindle just about cover it all. Finch was considered a Red Brindle when she was 8 weeks old. She is 13 months old and still a Red Brindle. Here she was at 8 weeks.

Here she is today

She is so precious and such a beautiful color!

It is a little more difficult to distinguish the lighter colored coats between the cream, light brindle and wheaten because they all seem to be so similar. Or maybe it is just me. We will just say Savannah is "light colored" with a dark mask!

[Anna_525]

I love Finch's photos! Happy! Happy!

Alfie is a lot lighter than that...but the strip on his back is really dark....

I have to agree on that.....Finch is absolutely gorgeous. She really hasn't changed very much from her puppy pics. The variation of darker hues.....she should be a model

That's my Toby's coloring too I'd say

[Kramersmom]

I love the photo's of Finch. She is gorgeous.

Raising hand timidly - how does one post a picture or two? Simple instructions would be greatly appreciated, especially for those of us without a photohosting site.

[Eliz222]

Thanks, everyone! Finch is still about the same color she was when she was tiny. She has some dark hair on her back but the undercoat is all red. I just wish she wasn't so hairy!!

Milopup, I don't know how to post a picture without hosting it. I use imageshack and it's really easy. It takes the pictures straight from your computer so you don't have to load them onto the site and store them there. After I "browse" for the picture on imageshack, I click on "host". After this I click with using the right button on the mouse (to copy) and then just paste the picture in the message box. You can post as many pictures as you want. I like using this instead of attachments because I always have to resize my pictures before I can attach them and this takes alot more time.

Sorry I couldn't help you more.

And I use Photobucket,, a free site to download pics. It took me forever to figure it out and I'm still messing up...check it out and see if it works for you.

Both good suggestions. Here's a link to the FAQ page for ImageShack

I use http://www.imageshack.us/ .....its free and its easy. Once you upload your pic the http code is given to you for various uses......just cut and paste the one you need.

[Milopup]

Thanks everyone - I will give it a try. It's hard to believe I have been posting about my pup for almost a year, yet have never shared a picture. Though it is kinda presumptuous of me to assume y'all want to see my pup's pics!

[bradl]

Presumptuous? I think it's a given :-)

[MikeC]

Milopup,

I REALLY do want to see a picture of Bosco. I think he is one of the few "old timers" we have not had the pleasure of seeing yet. I use currently use Photobucket but am going to check out Imageshack.

Here's a couple pictures of Cairns that are considered cream brindle (at least by this breeded):

I did read somewhere that cream can go very light to very dark. My youngest cairn, Hannah is a cream brindle. I was hoping she'd stay black, even called her a black brindle at first until more cream started showing just like the breeder said. Her mom was a black brindle and her dad was a cream. I also have a wheaten that is 18 mths. Her mom was a brindle and dad a wheaten. She hasn't really changed much, mayble a little lighter. I thought I read that wheatens are least likely to change but I definitely could be wrong. My oldest cairn is a red brindle. Her mom was a red brindle and dad was black. I think that whatever the color, you can't help but love these little fireballs to pieces.

[Abby's Dad]

These Cairn colors really amaze me on this forum - they are all different! Here is Abby at 7 months and is constantly changing. Any guesses as to what color she will be?

[jansop]

I hope someone guesses Abby's color. She's colored like Booker...........jan

[Eliz222]

I just took this picture of Finch yesterday. She is considered a Red Brindle. She has some dark hair on her back, but it's all red underneath.

You can also see how much she needs a haircut.....yikes!

I'll try to take a picure of Scout. She is always on the run, so I don't have as many pictures of her!
