My pup's mother is Great Pyr-Golden Retriever X. The sire should be a Newfie, but my pup has short hair. Why?
The breeding was witnessed and the breeder is adamant that her female did not breed to another dog. My pup, at 4 1/2 months, has short hair (1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches) and the coloring of a Red Malamute with the 'mask' pattern and all. The sire is supposed to be a black and white Landseer Newfoundland and the dam is a white half-Pyr, half-Golden Retriever. How is this possible? I thought longhair was recessive, and where did that pattern come from?

Its hard to tell what combo you will have when you breed mixed dogs...

I'd strongly suspect that that particular puppy did have a different sire. A DNA test would confirm or deny that. Neighboring dogs can be fiendishly clever and quick.
However, it's also possible that this is a puppy transition coat and not what the final coat will look like.
