I admit I wasn't at all excited about the first 3rd gen pair, but THAT is simply GORGEOUS.

I swear, only one of my nick rats was full-grown, now they all are o.O

Did that happen to any of you guys too?

Nick hasn't made the next stage, so it will all show up as the same until he makes/uploads the next. :3

That's a fault? o.O Look white-with-liver to me =\

Am I the only one waiting impatiently for that last third gen to grow? =P


(hahaha ads. Now all my CS ads are asking me if I'm having trouble training my GSP.)

That's still white ticking on dark. It's just heavier ticking, more like what an ACD shows. *laughs* There's no need for the language of it in the standard simply because they are not dogs born white, they are dogs born dark.. their skin is dark and the spots on a german shorthair (Solid liver ones) are just areas without ticking. A GSP born white would get nowhere in the show ring (Though I'm not sure it's possible for them to be born with a white base coat at all regardless), but understand that in that breed just like most hunting breeds, there are hunting dogs and show dogs, and the two seldom meet... they can be very different in size and appearance sometimes.

I'm not trying to argue, just clarify that there are different colors of ticking, and that's why the horse looks like a pointer to me.

from wiki on dog coat colors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_(dog):

T (ticking) locus
The alleles at the theoretical T locus are thought to determine whether an animal displays small, isolated regions of pigment in otherwise white regions (not apparent on non-white animals). Two alleles are theorised to occur at the T locus:
T = Ticked
t = Not ticked
It is thought that T is dominant to t.

I don't know much about dog breeds and markings, but sounds to me like it's got to be brown ticking on white fur, not the other way around

also I've seen those markings referred to as 'liver ticked' as opposed to a white ticked liver dog
