Well, she has tarheels, pencil markings, a solid black face and a vent spot :)
She is not a melanistic bi color but is definitely a bi color ^_^

I'm glad to see others came on to say they think your girl is pretty too Xeph! Ibrahim gave a very nice critique on her. I'd call her a very dark black and tan myself. Regardless of her color, she's pretty.

I was refering to your other dogs when I made the comment on th saddlebacks... but they are all very pretty, no matter.

Xeph, comparing her to Am. s/l, I think she stacks up pretty well. Pasterns are strong and even with the extra length, the back doesn't appear to dip. I'll take your word that hocks are long, but doesn't look like it in the pics. Upper arm appears to be better angled than a lot of Am. s/l. Croup not so great. Really good color.
Is Andretti in there anywhere?

Croup not so great.
IMO, croups are a problem in the breed right now. I do agree with you.
And yes, there is Andretti, but it's way back in the 7th and 8th gen

Ok, I'm curious, why wouldn't she be a bi-color? She has the tarheels and I can't see her toes for the toe marks.

Xeph, the length and also the good color comes from Andretti/Clayfield no matter how far back. My Am. s/l were based on Clayfield. They were noted (at the time) for very good fronts ,not spooky dogs, and dark color. Andretti was a very good producer of Am. s/l, although small and the length.
Again, as far as Am. s/l, I think you have a good one. Can you put up some pics or video of gait.

Hoping to do that this week. It has been raining, and my husband has been away at military drill, so no one to help me
