The back window rolling down is a game changer when you have a dog
Agree - this is one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to picking up a used 4R.
The back window rolling down is a game changer when you have a dog
From a camping trip to Big Sur, CA a few years back with my pup Miles.
This is my little girl Kali. Unfortunately, we she passed away on Wednesday at 5 years old. She was a surprisingly great truck dog. She loved to layout in the back and just cruise, especially if we didn't have to walk very far once we stopped. She never really cared for a hike, but was always down to lounge on the beach.
She will be truly missed.
Great looking dog, but that's not how their coloration works. The colors don't mix depending on the parents color, they come out as what genes are dominant and which are recessive.Half American black lab, half English yellow lab. Fur has a brown undertone to it in the sunlight. Love this guy with all my heart! This is the best reason to own a 4Runner.

I know this after a woman I know swears up and down her dog was specifically part chocolate lab, and science be damned, that was the only color she was mixed with.
Lol ok I believe ya! I'm an engineer so I remember a bit about genes from my days in college and know that's how it works, but I'm curious how his fur is like that, but put him next to other black labs I've seen and they're jet black no matter what? And his brother had a gray undertone to his black fur, called a gray lab, apparently pretty rare. And how do red labs work? A chocolate lab with a reddish tone to the fur.
Hah, apparently the reds and silvers are mutations, but I dig the silver ones. With my mutt, the black from the lab genes totally dominated the Airedale coloration. I wish I knew more, but that stuff gets way complicated.
According to the DNA test, she came back as Labrador, Airedale terrier, and American Staffordshire. Since she just turned 11 today, here's a pic from this afternoon.Agreed. Thanks for sharing! What else is in your mutt?
