It’s mainly that genes and genetic that have been lock in to the dogs very early in history. We can not just look at the founding dogs and say this is where it all started because one also has to look at the dogs who were behind those dogs used in created the founding dogs and the influences (genes and genetic) they brought into play.
If you look at the early founding dogs and the dogs of today they look a lot different.
But you also see the influences from those early dogs that keep popping up when you see a dropped ears, longer ears, longer body, a red leg, different coat textures and the different colors.
Some of these traits remind me of the Skye’s .
The Skye’s also carried a lot of different colors blue, black, white, tan/cream chocolate so it would seem that this maybe where the blond/golden and chocolate colors came from.

The Red Leg is another one who seems to revert back to the English terrier with the grizzly backs/wiry hair.

White spots on some of today’s newborn pups came from where ?
Well it have been stated that most English Terriers had white markings.
Just how much white these dogs carried I don’t know but these dog had other dogs in the back ground to produce those white marking.

And nobody seen to know for sure where the Clydesdale/ Paisley terrier came from or who is in his back ground but one thing is certain this dog did just drop out of the sky.

And yes if you start looking back at some of the dogs thought to be in the makeup of the breed, by looking at each dogs individual histories you will find Tri colored dogs.

And it would seems that after 163 years, those initial genes should have disappeared or been diluted; apparently, they did not disappear because we still see them in some of the dogs today.

Also the same can be said about the health genetic we see today with the dogs.
Some canine experts believe our purebred dogs are locked in a genetic trap due to the evolutionary and hereditary process. What does it all mean? It means that after so many years it is difficult to eliminate influences of breeds used in early foundation stock. Why? Well, it could be argued that at the beginning all were somewhat inbred, as any given breed would have a relatively small member of founding sire.
