Most of the regular visitors to Beanie & Biggles blog know that they are in fact half brother and sister. They both have the same dad (Redcap Renaissance – or Sheriff). They also share some Newlin blood on their respective mothers’ side.
When we got Biggles we deliberately sought out one of Sheriff’s pups as we wanted another just like Beanie. Beanie’s mum wasn’t having any more litters so that wasn’t an option, and upon careful research it did seem that a lot of Beanie’s characteristics came from her dad’s side.
As it turned out, it would be hard to find a pup that was more different from Beanie! As a very little boy Biggles seemed huge. He was twice the weight Beanie was at the same age and incredibly chunky compared to her. Markings were of course very different, and personality too. Although they always shared the same sweet, pretty face, athleticism and delightful temperament!
Just take a look at these pictures of Biggles and Beanie beside similar poses from their dad. Don’t you think they each closely resemble one side of their dad?

For those that don’t know Sheriff he does, as the photos show, have completely different markings on each side!
That’s amazing. I thought it had to be a different doggie! The babies really do look like their dad.
