Has anyone ever seen/had a dog that was striped? (I don't mean BRINDLED, I mean actually identifiably striped).
There are lots of spotted dogs. And cats can be either spotted or striped (and striping is very common on some breeds of cats). But I cannot remember ever seeing a dog that was truly striped. I've seen brindled dogs that looked kind of stripey, but never a really-truly striped dog.
I wonder if it has something to do with genetics. I know dogs are a lot more genetically flexible than cats when it comes to body size and proportions, but I guess the coat-color/coat-patterning genes must be different.
