She is still quite a bit smaller than Barney but she is a brindle and Barney is black.
Ah, I had read that Beezie is a brindle but I forgot about it, maybe because I had no idea Scotties came in brindle.
Reminds me of when I was a teenager- we had a German Shepherd (we always had shepherds) that was all black, but she was indeed a full-blooded shepherd, with papers and everything, just like the others we had. Many people didn't know that German Shepherds can be all black or all white, not just brindles. She was the most intelligent dog we ever had, and when you're comparing shepherds, that's saying something.
