Does anyone have pictures of black and tan/red bassets? I was given a basset with papers, she is 3 yrs old and only has a small white stripe on her chest. She is also quit small and just looks different than my tri's....

I always thought they were just tri's with very little white in them.

I mean all black and tan bassets, with only a patch of white on the chest, a local breeder was telling me they are rare because most of them have been bred out because of breeding with tri's and mahogony and white bassets...

I found some on this website pilzbassets.com

It is just chance from breeding - she's a tri. I've seen some tri's with no white at all, some that are nearly solid black with no brown, and some with just a speck of white. They are all tri colored. There is a lot of size and appearance variation in the breed..anywhere from 35lbs and up.

While there is a gentic componet to how much white spoting occurs There are considerable environmental factors as well. Pigment cell start out at the nueral crests and migrate to the rest of the body Where the pigment cells don't migrate too remain white. Which is why common areas for white are the feet, muzzle, tip of the tail, belly , and chest. There are environmental factors as basic a uterine temp that effects/delays cell migration all the factors involved in white spoting are clearly not understood.

There are some females around that run smaller than than Won't be winning any conformation show though,
