[edit] Fox Terrier colors

Thanks for the note. That was good info you added. I think it's better to have it in the main JRT article because presumably it applies to all varieties of Fox Terriers and so it's better to have one article that goes into detail about it rather than trying to maintain 4 or more identical versions of the same text. I did add an explicit note to each article about going to the main Fox Terrier article for details. I think more info might be excellent. Not many articles go into details about the genetic reasons for various colors, but it's mostly because that info's not widely available and/or most people don't know much about it. Dobermann has some similar stuff. I'd suggest watching terms that laypersons aren't going to understand right off the bat and either explaining (briefly) or trying to figure out where to link to them in WP.

Yup, you're right, "JRT" was a brain hiccup above and I mean "Fox Terrier". The 4 varieties I referred to were the Wire, Smooth, Toy, and Miniature. I'm goint to move our discussion so far to Talk:Fox Terrier so the explanations and discussions are preserved somewhere where they can be found. :-) Elf | Talk 16:35, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
