Roxie does not carr y any copies of the gene for 'furnishings' (which would give
them a fuzzy beard and eyebrows). This means they probably have smooth,
Furnishings
shor t facial hair. Did you know you can often get 'furnished' and 'unfurnished'
dogs within the same breed?
Roxie likely has a wolf-gray color coat, which could be banded with darker and
Coat Color Main
lighter areas. This will be thanks to the 'agouti' gene, though the exact pattern
Possibilities
of their coat will also be affected by other genes. (Did you know this coat type is

Leg Length
there can be other genes that affect leg length). Did you know different dogs
Genotype: DD
can have different leg lengths even if they are the same breed?
A lot of factors can decide the shape of a dog's ear. But as far as we can tell,
Ear Carriage Roxie probably has perk or upright ears. Did you know this type of ear is
Genotype: TT recessive (which means you need a copy f rom each parent to show it)? Common
