Well, then the mystery is over. There's your answer for all this.

How do we have multiple unrelated litters/GSDs being produced with the SAME "novel" mutation?

The spontaneous thing is used to assure people the breeding is "pure", not a mixed breeding.

I doubt those geneticists have seen/analyzed  DNA from similar GSDs who display the same characteristics unrelated to Frankie. Most of the panda breeding I've seen have been has not been out of imported or  titled dogs.

Thank you, Uber-my question exactly. Multiple spontaneous mutations? I wouldn't think so.

And yes, quite a nice monopoly until other people caught on and decided to use it, also. After all, their backyard dogs were popping out these interesting little border collie mixed breed looking GSD pups, too, but they sure didn't think a BC had gotten into things. 

Money and fame, my friend Uber. Money and fame.

Panda pups have been produced from the following:

blk/tan import titled/hip certified sire  x solid black OFAed mother (Frankie)

blue patterned sire x long coat blk/reddish tan mother (litter I saw the pics of years ago)

Panda litter currently on Hoobly has a BC marked blk/tan mom, traditional blk/red father.

Frankie might be the BEST bred of the pups documented from such strange occurrance, but she's not the only, nor is she the first.

I ve seen panda's out of a
white male bred to a rich blk/red female(mostly import lines)
years ago I had an american showline female, her grandsire was lovenly nicknamed Skunk.  he had a large white stripe from his nose to his forehead, big white chest and white toes.  he was out of a very prominent Ch.
and I know of breeders breeding these "panda" dogs, who are unrelated to Frankie.  where did their coloration come from?

plus the litter posted above in Austrialia out of imported dogs.

So if Frankie was just a spontaneous mutation (dominant gene like you say), coloration not from a recessive gene hidden for many many generations, how do you explain all the other litters, NOT RELATED to Frankies line being born?  whats the chances to have such a "rare" spontaneous mutation to keep popping up in more and more litters?


Uberland, look at what I said about the genes crossing over and exchanging bits and pieces. Certain mutations are more common than others. For example, in humans, the mutation that produces Down's Syndrome is the result of an extra 21st chromosome.  It could be that the mutation which creates the panda colouration is a fairly common mutation, as mutations go.  The gene for the color is there, but is inactive, due to the effect of another gene. All that has to happen is for that inhibiting gene to break off, or get transferred to another chromosome, and the panda gene will be expressed.

"GSDs with big white spotch markings on them is not a rare thing." (katjo74)

That statement made me remember an american line GSD website, which has a picture of one of it's champions, blanket back dog with an almost completely white colored chest.  As I recall, it's a pretty big name, but darnitall, I can not remember who it is.

I think it was most likely Proven Hill's Banker of Altana, the 1990 American Grand Victor:

But all humans come from ONE source-Adam and Eve, too.

We ARE all related, BIG picture wise.

From a Darwinian perspective, scientists have discovered the same gene that controls acqusition of song in birds also controls acquisition of speech in humans!

Also, the DNA of humans and chimps is 98% identical.
