I would like to start a thread so we can keep updated on each others progress and maybe collaborate a little as well. My first litters are due tomorrow.

What colors do you have? Are you going to add anymore? What is your highest SOP?

I have red, mask, brindle. Other colors not currently planned. As far as SOPs, mine are all source dogs so I'm sure you can imagine - I feel the need to use the 'old' stats so that I can stand to look at them

If anyone is interested in the red masked male, please let me know - I'm thinking about FHing him soon.

I have so many color combos, I feel like I did when I first started out in Dachshunds...confused and lost, lol.

I have pintos, masks, brown brindles, um, goodness knows what else...and SOP-wise, most are in the 4-5 range. No black brindles, which I would like to get eventually.

So, check out what I have, lol.

You have a black brindle pinto, very nice.

I know what you mean about being lost and confused - I have looked at the color genetics page, and wow.

I'm excited to see the first pups tomorrow - so curious what colors they'll be.

*slaps head* I do have a black brindle! Whoops, lol.

But, yes, I'll get a grip on it in a while...just need to get a feel for actual breeding

I wasn't sure if maybe you weren't counting that one for some reason. Like maybe you were looking for a solid one, but I should have known it was 'too many dogs' syndrome. I have a real problem with that sometimes.

For anyone who might be interested, I got some fawn pintos, red and black brindles, and one masked pup. I will accept offers of $10 otherwise will be FHing them this evening - I have turned off offers for the pups I plan to keep. These pups are gen 1 and so are otherwise atrocious

My red masked source male carries brindle and possibly pinto (trying to fit my head around the genetic code there). Offer $10 and he's yours, otherwise I might let him sit in my basic kennel for a while.

Does anyone happen to know what website/book Jeff used to code the colors? What I'm reading on websites doesn't always match up with what I'm finding in the game. Thank you!

Jeff did not do the code, or use a specific source. Nearly all breeds were coded by the users themselves- some with a better grasp of genetics than others, some intentionally using "fudged" genetics, some having colors where the genetics are not yet understood, and some having used older understandings (like Little) of genetics that are still popularly quoted but now known to not be exact.

The original genetic thread for Akitas is here- www.showdog.com/forum/read.aspx?id=265226

Well, that makes things interesting. Thank you Lilliput
