She is now black, tan and cream with a blanket saddle and she is still getting lighter as the years go by, she also developed a speckled colored stripe down her back. http://s145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/kimbee79/ Kim

Kim That's the "bitch stipe" I think you're refering too, and I've heard neutered males can get them too, but I'm not sure where I heard that. Unless maybe you're talking about something else (it's supposed to be a stripe darker than the dog. I couldn't really tell from the photos). I've seen them on pups often. It's really cool to see the changes the dogs go through, especially the sables. Carbon

susan tuck Webboard User Reg: 01-23-2006 Posts: 1608 Loc: Cali & Wash State Offline	There is an almost identical thread going on right now on another message board. Here is what I have learned so far: Apparently, there is no specific definition of bi-color, which means your dogs' color is as confusing as my sable pup is (oh joy). The shoulder stripe occurs in all colors & both sexes (intact or not). It is not an indication of a pigmentation problem.

It is not an indication of a pigmentation problem. I never thought it was a pigmentation problem, is this what some people think? I've seen it on some very richly pigmented dogs. So if occurs in both sexes then why is it sometimes called a "bitch stripe?" Is it a misnomer? Carbon
