But I just wanted to point out, that if suddenly some weird looking puppies of homozygous recessive genotype (like in this case bb / brown coloured) occurs, it may very well be a result of only one "oopsie daisy" that is just doubled in the pedigree (comes from both parent's sides).

That is true. On the other hand, if you look at pedigree of Thalia, you see that her parents are dogs from pure Slovak lines - I mean Fallko being born 11 years ago and Mona 13 years ago - I just don't believe there could be crossing with Saarloos in Slovakia that long ago, and for sure not by "oopsy-daisy" accident. I would like to believe it would be impossible even today, but of course that is naivity, but 11-13 years ago? When was the first Saarloos visiting Slovakia? When was the first Saarloos imported here? In year 1998, when Mona z Krotkovskeho dvora was born, the Csechoslovak Wolfdog was finally accepted as regular FCI breed. It was a huge success for slovak breeders. I just cannot imagine, why would anyone, at that time, mix with the "competition", even if they would have access.
Recessive gene, that would be shown by puppies of Sibir and Thalia (and nowhere else!) could be introduced by either Fallko, or Mona, because they are the common relatives. Or by mixing, and declaring false parents, but if we do not accept the possibility, that Fallko or Mona were mixes, then the mixing would have had to occur twice at least, once for Thalia and once for Sibir or one of his parents.
