Essentials

• Species: Gus looks mainly like a mix between a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Dutch Shepherd, although his large size comes from the Bernese Mountain Dog.
• Fur: The texture is wiry from the pointer blood, but he is brindled like a Dutch Shepherd.
  • Optime Hair: His hair is still a bit wiry, and very dark. It is somewhat long, although it does not come down to his shoulders.
• Facial Features: It is not uncommon for Gus to be frowning. He has a short muzzle, one floppy ear, and one ear that was bitten off. The missing ear stood up. The brindle stripes do not appear on his face.
  • Lupus: Gus is a large dog, but he is not overly bulky, nor would he be considered wiry.
  • Secui: For a dog, Gus is rather impressive, but no bigger than a large sized wolf in his secui form. He has broader shoulders in this form, but is not bulky.
  • Optime: Gus has a solid body that has been muscled through active and hard labor. He is tall for a dog, but just as agile and fast in this form as any of his others.

Coloration

• Fur: Gus's fur is a mixture of greys and tans.
• Markings:
  • Brindle striping with a mixture of all the colors listed except brown.
  • Due to the fur texture, the stripes are not as defined as shorthaired brindle dogs.
• Eyes: Woody Brown
• Optime Hair: dark gray
• Nose and Paw Pads: dark grey
