Mosby 355 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Didn't frank buck use blue dogs to eventually develop the black? I've seen blue patterdales - are they not a strain of lakeland? it's got to come from somewhere. I don't see how bedlingtons would have a monopoly on a color. Where'd they get it? I believe blue, like chocolate is a faded gene and can pop up. Quote Link to post

Stevie D 9 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 About 25 years ago, a friend of mine had two lakelands from Mr Cowan of Cumbria. These were old dogs, (I'm guessing at about 10 years old) They were given to him by Mr Cowan and he was told they were from his "Blue" line. One of the old dogs had a bit of a top knot, I've no doubt this was from having beddy blood. stevie Quote Link to post
