Lets say 'in contact'. Ziggys Sire was a very dark Brindle, Dam a Harlequin. Most of the time they produce one or the other, along with Mantles, Fawns, Grays, Blues. VERY seldom do they throw a true Brindle-Quinn. Most Dane breeders say Ziggy is a flaw. I think it's because they don't have one, or have never seen one. Cheers!
