Just wanted to drop a quick thank you for creating your dog genetics website. I had no idea you were on dA till I tried to find some genetics on here and ran into your art. I've done horse color genetics for a few years and recently took a step into dogs, your website was very helpful. Brilliant website, very informative

I was just on your website, it's really amazing! I am a bit of a color genetics nerd and you have done a really good job covering all the bases and explaining things. *clap* Also, your art is adorable!

I have no idea if I should ask you this, but here goes:
Ever since I found your site, I've had a blast looking at dogs and being able to tell what their genes were doing (more or less) to give them their colors.
I recently found photographs of someone's dog that I can't make heads or tails out of (color wise) and was hoping that you might be able to at least explain it to me If it's not too much trouble?

Thank you in advance and I apologize for any inconvenience!

I really liked your pictures of dogs, so I was wondering if I could use them on www.minstall.no? They will only be used as "profile-pictures" on virtual dogs.

Ugh your linearts are amazing! So much personality but not in the over done "Disney" style. I would love to see more! Do you take breed suggestions?

Ah, I did an MA in the Kings Manor. Then stupidly came back to Wales... Well, not stupidly, but I wish that York and Snowdonia were side by side
