For people, it's easy to say "oh he looks just like his grandpa!". For dogs, nobody seems to think that way. Many breeders just think about the mating pair and don't consider geneology. |

Genetics are weird...that's why I love to research them.
My aunt and uncle have three sons together one has jet black hair olive skin and deep brown eyes he's about 5'6 lean but muscular, next red hair pale white skin and green hazel eyes built like a tank barrel chested but more big bones than muscular, their third son had blond hair blue eyes and golden skin he's super tall and super slender...it's a roll of the DNA dice each time...one of my dear friends has Italian roots way back but on both parents sides for like three generations everyone is blond with blue eyes light skinned her oldest daughter deep olive tones dark brown hair everyone made jokes to her husband...
Genetics are like a box of chocolates...
