White Tails???

vicster605 · Post by **vicster605** » Sat May 03, 2008 6:52 pm

Up until Southern Chow Fest when Sam brought his Ol' Black Betty....I never knew there were Black Chows with white tails or even white in their tails. I really keep trying to see

the back sides of the Blacks that have it......and nobody will turn those puppies around for me to admire them......
GOT ANY PICS???? PLEAAASSSSE ANYONE!!!! I think its the coolest thing ever and I have only seen Ol' Black Betty from the back

Kearra only has 1 white hair in her tail and I'm careful not to brush it out LOL!!!

Funny you mention that lone white hair Ziggy has one in his tail, will try to get a picture of it, I love it too and try not to brush it out. Thought it was just cause we do not know who/what his parents are. I just love this skunk tail photo we have of him as a puppy.

The pics aren't great, but you mean like this?

Xhena was pure black when I picked her up at 7wks, but as she's grown older her tail has become whiter and whiter. She is regularly called a gorilla by people who see her, as the silver streaks in her tail remind them of a silverback gorilla

Will try and get some better pics of it.

Yup, exactly like that.....wonder if I'm the only one who thinks this is just too pretty??? Would love to see more.....Hey so maybe as Kearra gets older she may get a couple more white hairs then LOL!!!

Layla I have been waitin' for you to turn Alf around.....every pic of him I try and see how much white he has back there.....but I can't see......I LOVE his tail!!!! And it looks like he is gonna have alot of white in his pants too

Is it called something when they have the white???? Or are they still just considered a Black???

Technically, I believe the term is adorable.

Vicki,

they are still called a black. The white bits are called chinchilla markings.

Alf likes to think of his chinchilla markings as his colour's shading. The other colours get to have shading, his just gets a special name

I know that the markings are allowable within the breed standard but I don't know how much they are liked.....

Chowfancier- he's such a bratty brat at the moment, adorable is a way behind us, & a way in the future.... Millie would like to trade him..... Dh agrees.....

Just send him here. Cinder will teach him to respect his elders. And Teddy could use a playmate, right now he is wrestling with a throw pillow, all by his lonesome.

Cinder could try.... Millie is a tough boss but he's just irrepressable!

LOL, I love this thread! Special has a few white hairs here and there in his tail and on his butt, but that's it.

Jerilyn, I LOVE your "technical terms."

Well, there you have it......Now you know what my next Chow will look like LOL!!! We all have to pick them out WAY ahead of time, ya know LOL!!! Goes to show you, that I will never be without one or two in my life from now on

Do they have their Chinchilla markings as babies or do you know if they will have them or not????

Alf had the tail markings at 9 weeks. Not sure about prior to that as I didn't know him then!

When he came home at 11 weeks he had very definate tail marksings & a little grey in his pants

Oh thats it, I'm IN LOVE with Alf!!!!! You have to post his back side for me every now and then so I can see how much his markings are growin' in and how white he gets back there ok Layla

I LOVE IT!!!
Now one more question....anyone know if Blues get chinchilla markings??? Kyra has completely lost her baby coat....its seems all at one time since she was recently spayed.....and she is growin' in some white hairs in her tail....haven't ever seem one but I noticed Holden has quite a few in his tail too. Just a wonderin' how much white they can actually get??? Anyone know???

Chloe had markings like Alf...hers have spread out through her tail now and lost the skunk stripe look.

Hubby kept telling her she needed some Miss Clairol! She didn't have them at 8 weeks but I can't remember how old she was when it started...maybe 3 mos. Now her tail just has a salt and pepper look to it.
Isn't it Janets girl who has alot of white on her tail? I can't remember...getting old you know.

Lise's Mia has a huge bit of white in her tail & pants

vicster605 · Post by **vicster605** » Thu May 08, 2008 2:27 pm

OMG isn't that just the coolest thing.....Mia is just BEAUTIFUL!!!!! You guys think I should get a divorce and get another Chow????

Darn I wish he wasn't such a GOOD guy sometimes

Laura · Post by **Laura** » Thu May 08, 2008 2:37 pm

That's it...Mia. I thought of her later...told you I am getting old!

Here we go - especially for you

Xhena had no markings when she was a young pup, they started appearing at around 14wks and have got more and more pronounced as she's got older. She's now 7mths.

Layla · Post by **Layla** » Fri May 16, 2008 8:54 am
