Buff ASCOB
Female

American
Cocker Spaniel
One of our
sweetest dogs
Irish is most
content to
snuggle with
someone.  She is
best friends with
her littermate
Jewel.
 Registered
as a Buff & White
She is actually a
mismarked  or "irish
marked" buff  who    
also carries
a Merle Gene
from her mother.
         Irish will
    be bred to
Sunshine once
she passes her
health testing in
      2009.  
They should  have
Buff Merle
Puppies!
Kattery's Irish Blessing was named Irish from the moment we saw her red/buff
coloring!  It doesn't hurt that the white markings (white where there would be
tan points on a cocker) is known as Irish Markings.  TY Kelly for this sweetie!

Irish Markings on an American Cocker Spaniel refer to the white markings that you can see here on Irish Blessing.  For a
simple picture of them imagine a Buff dog (this can happen in blacks as well) with tan points.  Tan points normally occur at
the eyebrows, chest, feet and tail and sometimes cheeks.  Not enough white to consider the dog a parti but also  too much
white in distinct areas to be a simple "mismark".

    "Biologically speaking, you get white at the distal points of an embryo's development because the melanocytes
    migrate from the neural crest towards the seam line and they don't get all the way there.  Think of a hollow tennis
    ball, collapsed inward so it looks like half a tennis ball, then bring those folded edges together and fuse them.  This
    is what happens in the early days of embryonic development.  The spinal column forms on the inside, the neural
    crest forms along the outside fold, and the seam line is your center line of nose, chin, breast bone, pubis.  Arms and
    legs form later.  Once the melanocytes migrate as far as they're going to go, the skin/integument grows from those
    points, which is why some partis look like you've dropped ink from an eye dropper on them.  I have to hypothesize,
    that in a solid dog, those points all fuse and in a spotted dog the melanocytes do not.  I'm not am embryologist,  but I
    have studied a bit of evolution and you can see the past lives of animals in the way their embryos develop.  Quite
    fascinating."
