Letters from the Front Line:
Kathy Bittorf: Chris they should be able to properly at least defend scientifically and they can not. Is it still America? I just got told it was no big deal. Just go out there get a blue merle they are everywhere. Where? They are...
Christopher: Let them complain, I’m well within the rights of every American to speak freely and to criticize the speech of others. If they don’t want to take the heat for breeding double merle dogs, then they should not do...- Kathy Bittorf: Chris I want to apologize to your readers for the run over of some collie chat list. Jana even states something I posted on this list? Is that retaliation for her letting the cats out of the bag? Guess I know how...
Jana: Your guess is as good as mine. I can’t even figure out how to respond to this person in an appropriate way.
Kathe: Jana, can you send me a e-mail from my web site and I can get some pictures off to you? His nose is black. Kathe- Jana: Yes, I’d love to see! It looks like he has a black nose, too, not gray like you’d expect.
- Kathe: Jana, Jake has the most beautiful chestnut brown eyes. I can try and get a close up picture of them if you would like this weekend. Kathe
- Kathy Bittorf: Jana: The question of eye color would be best answered by the breeder. The expert that found “Coat Color in Dogs” series of posting states it is still guessotyping even with good photos, and even hands...
- Kathy Bittorf: Dave you are so right…big ears possibly even the pricked ones. Love this discussion. Kathy
Dave: Big ears are essential to herding. Everyone knows that. Link is a .RTF format.- Kathy Bittorf: Chris think you make a good point. The hound and rabbit situation were male dogs. The smarter ones learned to leave him alone. Kathy Bittorf

- Canis is a paraphyletic genus February 4, 2012This phylogenetic tree comes from a study that used a high quality draft genome sequence of the domestic dog to make important comparisons within domestic dog breeds and also to make some comparisons with their relatives. One of the most interesting discoveries in the this study was that the genus Canis as it is currently classified is paraphyletic. Paraphyl […]retrieverman
- Querencia Country Part 3: Mountains February 4, 2012We are nestled into the north end of the Magdalena range, and just a bit east of the parallel, longer, wetter San Mateos. Both stand over 10,000 feet high, giving us a variety of climate unknown in places with less variation in elevation. Though we are in an arid part of the country, interior valleys can look like New England or the Pacific Northwest.The app […]Steve Bodio
- Ethiopian wolves on the hunt February 4, 2012I love watching these things stalk. Source. I call these wolves the Farley Mowat wolves, because they actually do live on rodents. Contrary to what this documentary says, these wolves are actually more distantly related to the wolf and dog species than the golden jackal is. The initial mtDNA study on Ethiopian wolves suggested that they were recent derivativ […]retrieverman
- How wolves increased biodiversity in Yellowstone February 4, 2012Source. This video mentions something really important. It’s called the ecology of fear hypothesis. In this hypothesis, fear plays the vital role. If a prey animal has to be afraid of a predator in a certain area, its behavior will change. This is perhaps best described in study that examined the role coyotes play in keeping domestic cats out of areas where […]retrieverman
