Brindle[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

Dog photos[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Source for brindle horses[edit]

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)[reply]

Feel free to pop it in if you want. Montanabw^(talk) 03:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References Are Messed Up[edit]

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)[reply]

Hopkins twice[edit]

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)[reply]

Why cats excluded?[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Addition to the 'Etymology and literature' section?[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
