Some recessive genes do not show every generation. So a puppy may show a trait that was masked in the parents by the dominant gene. The dominant genes would no allow the recessive gene to show physically (phenotype) even though it is in the genetic makeup (genotype). It is very interesting to see what pops, especially in Chis because they have SO many different varieties of color and patterns! - em :-) _____ From: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of marsha Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 6:41 PM To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Cloudys pups for sale/ taking deposits/ two pet pups avail no, not necessarily. I would have to go back to look at all the previous threads here, but I think the original of this post was one by Cindy Andrilli who was posting on her litter of 8 pups. She has listed two as pet only. This is because those two have "kinks" in their tails. Nothing at all wrong with them, but would certainly be a point looser in the show ring. Out of 9 pups, only 2 had this flaw. And, to my knowledge, neither parent had the flaw. Another example.....my Ginger has a tail that is too short. Not a bobtail or anything like that, but just too short for the show ring. Of all the pups she has ever had, this litter produced one that also had a shorter tail. The first time she has ever passed this trait. Genetics can creep up on you at anytime. Both good and bad traits can be passed. Much like in humans, that cute blue eyed blond haired child is not gonna necessarily produce other blond haired blue eyed children, no matter how much the trait is desired. Likewise, take me for instance, I have Alports Syndrome which is an hereditary disorder that causes, among other things, nerve deafness. I am the ONLY one in my family with a hearing loss. Since I have no biological children, I do not know if I would pass a hearing loss on, but there is a good chance it wouldn't pass. There is also a good chance that it could lay dormant and pass on to a future generation.

That had me so curious. Another question if one or two pups from the whole batch had a genetic flaw wouldn't they all carry it? Not saying that is why these pups are pet quality just asking in general Sheila _____ size=2 width="100%" align=center tabIndex=-1> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com> ups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of marsha Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 2:42 PM To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Cloudys pups for sale/ taking deposits/ two pet pups avail Pet quality means that they are not show quality. For some breeders, not being show quality also means not breeding quality. It doesn't mean there is necessarily anything wrong with the pup, it just means that there is a flaw, however slight, that would prevent the dog from winning shows or would disqualify the dog from showing, or else that it has some genetic flaw that could be passed on to pups and thus should not be bred. They still make great pets, but ethical breeders just want to be honest and let potential buyers know that the dog should not be bred or is unlike to win any shows....
