Sparky, I have taken lots of hi-Rez photos of my Dalmation if you want some, he has enough spots. I have reduced two of them for here. He is a tall Dalmation, you can see that in relation to my husband. Females would be smaller.

See that is what I don't understand. Chris has gone to so damn much effort and great work to create a really believable lion mane why can't the same sort of thing be done for long hair dogs using the same kinda tech?

if you look at the mouth and lips especially of this image, you see pink. In all the renders of the HW Dog I have not see pink on the lips.
It looks more realistic no!?

It would be a lot more work than a lion mane since the entire body would be involved. I created a fairly simple short hair for Dawn (Eton Crop Hair in Clarette Rose for Dawn) ... and each of those little hair panes were a pain to adjust. I absolutely cannot imagine anyone doing that all over a body, human or animal! It's really more a solution for small areas of hair like manes, fetlocks, tails, and tufts of hair.
I'd rather Chris work on the additional dog breeds, Pugsley (next?!? Yes?!?!?!?!), the man's bun hairstyle, and all the other projects (which are too numerous to remember!).
Cliff's True Hair (Poser) and LAMH Hair (DS) are a better solution for animal fur. True Hair will take a lot of the tediousness out of using poser hair for animal fur. Poser hair isn't all that difficult to do for fur in the meantime ... it's just time consuming.

Jan, that's a lovely dalmation! Hope you have a mudroom though!!!

OK I AGREE!
Just a thought. I like the LAMH Hair but some of the animals need a thicker tangled more nappy style. Cn that also be done?
Some dogs have pink skin around their mouth/nose area and some dogs have black or dark brown skin there. The Chocolate lab does have pinkish brown skin around the mouth, the black and yellow labs have dark skin there, because that's what the dogs in the resource photos have. ;-)
I have been working on a geometry fur solution on the wolf project. If it works well, that will be an option that will be available.
LAMH is perfectly capable of doing rougher, longer fur.

thanks for clarity on these items.
I should have looked better before posting the comment because had I done so I would have not sounded so damn stupid with the question!
What hair is going on the wolf and where?

I would sooo love for these other products to see the light of day. But it's beyond my modeling skills now. Needing rigging, and maps and imagery. Ugh.
can't wait! 
Woo hoo! Mother and Child Reunion.
Even if it's a dog and puppy rather than a chicken and egg :wink:
