owyheeStar's Benton

Earlier alliances afforded them some experience with the longhair, and they ended up having many questions. It seemed there were pros, and possible a few cons, to raising the longhair. However, when Benton made his appearance, it was clear he was going nowhere. Cliff and Shela knew both Storm and Dusty's lineages for several generations. No one knew of a longhair being born. Clearly, the (fluffy-coat genetic marker) was resident in both Storm and Dusty; they are both smooth-coat carriers of the longhair DNA marker.
Benton Sired Pups....

Above is the first litter that Benton sired. Rosie (pictured at the top of this column) was the mother (she is a silver gray smooth-coat).
Many of the pups in this litter are infamous, and most of them live in (and around) the Portland area. Keep in mind, that Rosie doesn't carry the longhair DNA marker; therefore, it meant there would be no longhairs in this litter. Below is one of the Rosie X Benton litter of ten--Sahra. |
