I just call my Rocky a big Mush face. Does that count?

I would say so! Why not?! lol

 

[BrooklynsMom]

yea, it's just Brindle

 

[BrooklynsMom]

Brindled : having faint dark streaks or spots on a gray or light brown background

and as posted..Streak and stripe mean the same

 

[Kaco Boxers]

Black tiger striped is just someone's person opinion on their description of what brindle is. You will also see in Europe they call fawns, reds or yellows depending on what country they are from. The same goes with tiger stripe aka brindle.

 

[Kaco Boxers]

And just to clarify things......

Boxers come in three coats

Fawn, brindle and whites. Each coat has different hues. Some are light and some are dark but they will always be fawns and brindles.

Yea, I get the red. My Mo was a fawn but we used to call him Clifford, the big red dog, cause he really was red.

I think I shall call Porter the half white faced semi flashy redish fawn.
Fiona shall be one brown eyed, two brown eared alibaster.

or...just don't call them late for dinner.

 

[BrooklynsMom]

I think a good example is the sealed brindle..Most people say oh thats a black boxer or looking for a black boxer..because of the way it looks, when infact its a sealed brindle.. yes? no? IDK

Yes I think that's a great example. When people don't know the actual terms they just make up their own by what they see and what they know.

I agree that this was just this person's own made up way of describing the markings. I've been researching bearded dragon breeders in preparation for my next one and I'm finding this same thing is very common with reptiles too. There are so many beardies out there who look identical, but are "labeled" differently mattering on who the breeder is.

 

[Isle]

sealed & reverse brindle. white, fawn, flashy fawn, semi flashy fawn. I believe, Thats it.

3 colours:

White
Fawn
Brindle

Fawn and brindle come in classic (black mask), semi flashy or flashy. Brindle can also be reverse brindle which some people may call black.

WOW, Brutus Josef, you really started something , lol.. although, i am finding some of the comments amusing, i dont think any one really gave him the answer he was looking for.. My Sam is black with fawn stripes.. so is that just 'brindle' or is there a certian type of 'brindle' i would love to have a boxer the opposite of him.. fawn with black stripes.. i realize they are both 'brindle' but are they are different type of brindle.. what type of brindle should i look for if i want the opposite of Sam.. or the exact same color as Brutus Josef's fur baby, or do i just get lucky and find one.. that is my question of the day.. lol..

 

[Roccosmom]

[sasasola]

No we're discussing semantics

I believe yours by your description is a reverse brindle

A reverse brindle has so many brindle stripes it looks black and the stripes that show through are indeed fawn colour

There is a picture of a reverse brindle on this website. If you want a boxer that is essentially fawn with black stripes it is just called brindle

[mrsbush]

[mrsbush]

wow, the check boxer looks almost identicle to Justice.. and the dark brindle is the color of Sam.. nice link..

 

[Brutus Josef]

I had never heard of the term Check Boxer.....another new one on me.....thanks!

I have seen the term Sealed Brindle used for the ones who look almost black, except for when the light hits them you can see the stripes.

 

[Brutus Josef]

and this one is usually called golden brindle, but by AKC standards brindle.
