OMG! Those are fascinating! Those hearts are so cute, especially the one on that little puppy's bum. Amazing.

If I had a dog with a weener in it's coat, I'd never stop taking photos.

Some of those dogs are dyed. The panda dog and also the tan spotted dog are both dyed. Apparently dying dogs to look like pandas, tigers, etc is a thing.

I thought some of those coats looked a little too "perfect". There is a bichon named Cujo that boards where I work and his people dyed him to look like a panda. Took a while to grow out. He's a cute little fellow but darned if he isn't the loudest little creature.

Really cool! Nature does some wonderfull things.
These animals have really amazing drawings.
It's kind of like they had a tatoo!

I wish this:

was a normal inheritable pattern!! looks like african wild dog coloration (just needs some white). I love it!

I remember the "Panda Shepherd" being a thing on a forum I used to frequent. I always wondered, they claim a piebald mutation, but most of them look pretty Irish spotted...perhaps Border Collie in the mix? From what I recall they only noted on geneticist that confirmed the dogs were indeed purebred....


I am such a sucker for those chimera labs *sighs* AND that vitiligo looking ACD. Dies.

What tupe of pup is that rottie looking one in between the aussie and the dapple dachsund?

The panda mutation is actually a separate mutation from the piebald gene. I don't have the link anymore but they've done genetic studies on those dogs. They are some sort of new spontaneous mutation.

Can a dog have the somatic mutation without it being "all over?" We have a dog at work (Yellow Lab) that just has what looks like a teardrop shape of black near one of his eyes. It makes him look really unique.
