Ya know I have thought of this on several ocassions. If I had a nice old dog or two that I wanted a last shot at getting a pup or two from I might consider chancing it for sure. These leopards could definately with a couple of their charistics have an identification. An example might be breeding my Jet(Black and tan bob tailed) dog to a long tailed Black and tan female like Dan Noble's Pepper II female and also breeding her to Big John, John is long tailed leopard spotted. Now the pups.... All leopard spotted should be long tailed and belong to John. Any bobtailed are by Jet. The ones in question would be the black and tan long tailed?? Please correct me if I am wrong. I bet this is gonna have Dan really thinking since I have his Pepper II female over here breeding her to Big John...lol!!!
