Why does a brindle beget a brindle, and how is the white Bull Terrier bred true? T. W. Hogarth's pioneering study sets out the inheritance of coat colour in the coloured Bull Terrier, one of the earliest works of canine colour genetics.
First published in 1932, The Coloured and Colour Breeding traces the history of the coloured Bull Terrier and lays out around a hundred authentic pedigrees - brindle, black, fawn, and red, and these marked with white. Hogarth examines how the colours are passed on and how careful breeding can fix type and dissipate the deafness long linked to the all-white dog.
This edition features:
- An early study of coat-colour inheritance in the Bull Terrier
- Around one hundred authentic coloured pedigrees
- Practical insight into breeding to fix colour and type
