Talk:Brindle

Brindle
Brindles are awesome. I love the shine of the lighter colour patterns in the sun... how pretty!

I suggest that the place should have a new page and Brindle the colour should remain on this page as it is by far the most common use of the word

Does anyone have any pics of a brindled cat or horse? All the pics are of dogs except for one bull (which looks pretty cool) Greencircle (talk) 07:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I wish we did, all the photos of brindle horses I have found are copyrighted and so not able to be used on wikipedia. It's a bummer, because they are VERY cool looking.  Maybe a promotional photo would work with a fair use tag, may be worth looking into.   Montanabw (talk) 01:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I might look around & see what I can find. Greencircle (talk) 06:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Dog photos
Do we need an entire gallery of 15 brindle dog photos in this article?? Can we cut some of them, maybe see if there's a link to brindle dog pics in Commons? Help? Anyone? Montanabw (talk) 03:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have removed the entire gallery since it was disrupting the flow of the article. I left one image of a brindle Akita Inu as a example of brindle dog. -Coaster1983 (talk) 00:31, 1 November 2009 (UTC)


 * The dog photo was only a head shot, so I added back in just one more of a full body and real obvious pattern. Thanks for fixing that, though.  Montanabw (talk) 03:05, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Source for brindle horses
This article in the AQHA Journal would be very useful for anyone hoping to improve the coverage of brindle in horses. All the best. Countercanter (talk) 13:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

References Are Messed Up
Could someone with good coding skills fix them? The links seem to be appearing below the references section, leaving the actual references empty. RestlessThoughts (talk) 07:34, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hopkins twice
Thanks to Hopkins lovers there are two references to pied beauty in the same section. Animal lovers, Poetry lovers ? Concision lovers please help. --82.227.17.30 (talk) 08:38, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Why cats excluded?
The opening sentence omits cats - and yet the definitions provided under the Thesaurus listings for brindle in freedictionary.com both refer to cats (and only cats). I suggest adding cats to the opening and adding a section on brindled cats complete with a photo.Penelope Gordon (talk) 05:19, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

There exists tabby, which is a different thing from the genetic brindling discussed here. The tabby article discusses that genetic structure there. A dab or short paragraph explaining this could be useful, perhaps. Montanabw (talk) 22:01, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Addition to the 'Etymology and literature' section?
I note that the usage for brindle / brindled is a 'brindle pattern' but a 'brindled grey cat'. If anyone knows the rule (and the reasoning behind the rule) for when to add the 'd' that information would be a great addition to the 'Etymology and literature' section.Penelope Gordon (talk) 05:22, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I think those references are to tabby cats, which is a whole different thing, at least genetically.  Montanabw (talk) 21:59, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
