Greenstone Icelandic Sheepdog Data 2008

Hello Folks

Well those that know me well, know that I love to keep databases, and part of the fun of those data bases is getting to figure out stats (ok, the love of Stats comes with my formal education)

So for those that will find this interesting, this is the coat color/type and pattern info on the current Greenstone Icelandic Sheepdog Puppies, this does not include my own breeding dogs, just the puppies.

So in coat colors right now the choices are

Yellow Gene -Ranging from a Dark tan to Dark Reddish Brown- 27%
Yellow Gene with Sable Factor -Ranging from Dark Tan to Dark Reddish Brown with Black hairs-54%
Black Tri- With full pigment on tan-11%
Black Silver Tri- With Chincilla factor on Tan markings- 8%


So in terms of Coat Length - Per the CKC Icelandic Sheepdog Standard.



Short haired:The outer coat of medium length, fairly coarse, with a thick, soft undercoat. The hair is shorter on the face, top of head, ears and front of legs, longer on the neck, chest and back of thighs. The tail is bushy and the hair length is in proportion to the coat.

Short Coated - 60% of Greenstone Puppies are Short/Med Coated

Longer-haired:The outer coat is longer than the above, fairly coarse, with a thick, soft undercoat. The hair is shorter on the face, top of head, ears and front of legs, longer behind the ears, on the neck, chest, behind the forelegs and back of thighs. The tail is very bushy and the hair length is in proportion to the coat

Long Coated- 40% of Greenstone Puppies are Long Coated.

Coat Patterns

Solid- Less then 5% of the total body has white markings- 10% of Greenstone Puppies
Tri- Typical ISD markings, Blazes/White Collars/White Socks/White Tail Tip -77% of Greenstone Puppies.
Pied- Patches of Color on a white background (think Pinto Horse)-10%
Extreme Pied-Less then 25% color on a white Background -3%

Hope you will find this interesting in some way.. I know I do..
