She never produced any pups with mismark spots like that (and I would know, since I was present for the whelping of her litters.we looked her pups over very carefully. I knew of one pretty yellow labrador female who was an AKC champion (conformation) who had a mismark black spot on her side, it was easy to miss, maybe about the size of a nickle, it was believed that spot was caused by the mosaic phenomenon. The mosaics are fairly rare, should someone breed a mosaic labrador thinking they'll get more of the same will be sorely disappointed, the chances of a mosaic labrador producing more mosaics (even in 2nd or 3rd generation) is as unlikely as a solid color labrador producing a mosaic in the first place.Ĭlearly there is some kind of genetic connection, as this phenomenon is mostly only known of in goldens and labradors. The mosaic pattern in labradors has a pretty unusual reason for the way it happens, it's not inherited in the traditional sense of color/genetic inheritance. The genetic reasons for mosaic in labradors is different than the genetic reason for calicos in cats which is different than the genetic reason for harlequins and tri-colors in rabbits which is different than the genetic reasons for wild african cape dog coat pattern, so on and so forth. Unlikely it's a chimaera, simply another case of veterinary professionals who are not color genetics or breed experts, they saw something unusual to them and got excited about it without doing due research first. Whether Bull is a chimera hasn't been confirmed medically yet, but we'll watch the veterinary hospital's Facebook page to see if they post any further information and, hopefully, more photos of this interesting dog. Bull has emerged as Venus' canine counterpart, albeit without the same dead-even color split down the middle of his face. We saw this phenomenon last summer when a "two-faced" calico chimera cat named Venus caught the Internet's attention. Bull, then, appears to be a chimera that is both black Lab and yellow Lab. He is a patient at Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, according to MSN Now.īecause of Bull's unique coat, he is suspected of being a chimera, a single animal that genetically is two animals, i.e., an individual that is its own twin. The Labrador Retriever, Bull, has a coat colored like that of a calico cat. We will work with Beth Sobel to model one of the cats in the game after your CALICO cat You will also get a 100 word bio for your cat included in the KS Edition rulebook This level also includes 2 copies of Calico - Kickstarter Edition Backers at this level must provide clear, high quality images of their CALICO cat.

Calico received State Historical Landmark 782 and in 2005 was proclaimed by then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to be California's Silver Rush Ghost Town.
Walter Knott purchased Calico in the 1950's architecturally restoring all but the five original buildings to look as they did in the 1880's.
The miner's packed up, loaded their mules and moved away abandoning the town that once gave them a good living. When silver lost its value in the mid-1890's, Calico lost its population. With its 500 mines, Calico produced over $20 million in silver ore over a 12-year span. Calico is an old West mining town that has been around since 1881 during the largest silver strike in California.
