Okie
First off thanks for all the info, please don't take my post the wrong way, I'm wouldn't pick a dog just because he/she was brindle. I have 2 BMC that are red with zero black anywhere, to me there as good for there age as any out there, my other one is yellow black masked and I didn't take him home because of color either, I choose my dogs on ability, or if there pups there parents natural ability. Simply put if I found 2 females that were above average and for sale one being brindle the other yellow but equal in all other respects and breeding I would purchase the brindle dog simply because I like brindle, it's pretty
I am only curious if the few brindle dogs I see are accepted by the majority of working breeders as full bloods because I almost never see them in any of the major lines, and even rarely in lesser know lines, I was aware of the breed standard but 95% of the dogs I see come yellow and I don't think I have ever even seen a black bmc. Brindle it seems is a rare outcropping if the dogs 100% bmc and most when I begin to question there back ground a mountain cur, or plott is mentioned some where in there past. I will check out the links people posted and am grateful for the reply's as well as the information and opinions. God Bless Waylon
