He was the best TERMITE/YELLOW dog I ever owned... and I had quite a few years back... Needless to say, I hated him as a pup, just because he was brindle.
In my day,the color brindle was associated with hardness and durability. Swamp Dweller mentioned his dog being brindle. M. Gainey's J.R. was a brindle dog and on one occasion if true or not. Was told through the grapevine, that Mr. Gainey challenged Tant with a match into his full brother Yellow. Too see which dog was the over all best. I personally (JMHO) felt the J.R. dog was the over all better dog. So anyone who has the J.R. dog in their pedigree can know J.R. was a very good dog. I felt J.R. was a more aggressive/harder biting dog and very determined to take it's opponent out at the first opening opportunity.
After a dog man has breed some dogs for awhile sometimes certain color traits can be associated with the better dogs. Hopefully throw backs to the best dogs in the pedigree line up. A few dog men have called me about certain bitches of theirs crossed or straight off V.J.'s dogs. First thing I ask is what colors are the puppies. I for my own personel reasons encourage them to keep the black pups with white markings in the head/feet and tip of tail. Next choice is the Red Smuts and thirdly any white ones with red or yellow or black ticking in the skin. Last any that are a light and dark tan markings.
I also encourage them to look for the ones with a more Bull Terrier build than a Bulldog build. My example for reference would be Garner's CH Dolly being a clone look a like of my Young's Face bitch. With all said though, the end results is still later down the road when the pudding gets well stirred to see what comes to the top. LOL Cheers.
