   I love crossbred dogs. I don’t especially care for Rotties but I’ve met nice Rottie/Lab mixes. Bet these will be good dogs.

   That first one has your name on it.

   Ohhh! That fluffy pup is just divine. He looks full of character and is going to make some lucky person a wonderful companion. The female looks lovely and soft, but he’s just got a spark about him.

   Mommy is a cutie pie too. I have a rather large soft spot of for rotties and their crosses. They definitely don’t deserve their rep as a devil dog, but sadly they do attract a percentage of dickless wonders.

   Any idea what the Rotti is mixed with?
   I’d love to have the short haired pup.

   think it well demonstrates that the “long hair/short hair” gene is an “incomplete” dominant. Sometimes the “Hh” dogs are short haired, sometimes long haired. It’s interesting how much the coat can change a dog’s appearance. Cute pups.

     It’s also just as likely that the dam of the pups carries a recessive gene for long coat, as she’s not a purebred Rottie (noted in a different post).

     In Smooth Collies, it’s not at all uncommon to have rough (long-coated) pups in litters from two smooth (short-coated) parents.
