beddy whippet

[ANTHONYCHEZ 27]

my bedlington bitch has just had a litter of 4 beddy x whippet pups, all came out black with little white blaze, just wondering when i will be able to tell if any are rough coated . i know beddys are born black, but are they born with short hair?

A guessing game mate.My beddyxwhippet bitch was smooth till she was 6 months old then became broken coated and eventually ended up rough coated.

Some are born wirey and from a few weeks old its obvious they will be rough cated,but as pointed out some born smooth do become rough/broken cated as they get older.

was the whippet pure bred or a lurcher with whippet in it? and was the beddy pure bred?

just that the long coat gene is recessive and the short coat gene is dominant so if a pure bred whippet with only short coat genes is mated with a pure beddy with only longcoat genes then i think they will be all broken coated? i think you can get pups tested for the gene to make them have broken coat

 

Found this on the internet 'While it is not a color trait, the length of a dog's coat is of interest to many. It has recently been demonstrated that in many breeds, the gene FGF5 is responsible for whether a dog has a long coat (rough or fluffy), or a short (smooth) coat. The test Vetgen offers detects the presence or absence of the recessive allele that results in long coats when present in two copies.'

in that case the pups should have one short coat allele and one long coat allele resulting in a medium coat length or 'broken coated'.

yeah degree in animal science. What ive told you is taken from pedegree breeds other than beddie and whippet but the same should apply. If i find owt else ill let you know.

always thought first cross beddy whippets were always bluey/grey with broken coats, anythink after a first cross colours etc went different ways? would like to know opinions on this one, by the way pups are a credit very tempting, your bitch looks the twin of my beddy whippet
