I wonder if brindle in dogs is inheritable? I just read an article about very rare brindle horses; they are not genetic and are actually a result of chimerism (sp?) The brindled horse has two complete sets of different DNA.. the brindle effect is the result of there having been twins that merged together, so in effect it is two horses in one!
I think it may be different in dogs though, not sure.. genetics usually confounds me.
Yeah, That's actually really interesting to think about...

Cuteness overload!!! I love boxers. My fawn boxer is just over 7yrs old. His eyes & expressions seem so human. It's like they can tell you what they're thinking just by looking at you! Congrats to your new family addition!

She's adorable! I hope you plan to keep her ears natural - I love boxers with natural not cropped ears. My boss cropped his boxer's ears because......his ears were too small for his head! I said - well, let's just make them smaller then, why don't you? LOL
Puppies are adorable, if you can make it through the juvenile delinquency stage where she forgets what "sit" means and everything else she's learned - you're golden! That's when you wish they'd become adults already! LOL
