I have definitely seen my fair share of salukis marked as obviously as this one, though. <br /><br />I'm trying to emphasize that the gene is more widespread than many people would think, since so many Asian breeds are known to commonly have this phenotype. And, yes, countershading is quite commonly used to describe the pale points. I've also seen dogs described as having "pale points" or "pale cheeks and pips" as if the dog was red with cream points. I find it fascinating how different breeds treat this phenotype.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840844954903338887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010409378436372090.post-43895775159123887962012-04-19T23:52:42.970-04:002012-04-19T23:52:42.970-04:00That's right, I have a link up under the image...That's right, I have a link up under the image.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840844954903338887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010409378436372090.post-1763277443820478752012-04-08T14:04:44.508-04:002012-04-08T14:04:44.508-04:00I *really* like the looks of this one.
