Don't you think he is merely a throwback to Phoenix' coloration but with a red nose from the Hollingsworth background? He has the full drop Hworth ears, or at least on the left side he does. :-)

Actually, that is what I originally thought, what you just said. And I believed this thought until Vanilla Ice sired a black/seal-colored dog, which would be genetically-impossible for him to do if he was a true blonde/rednose dog. The only possible genetic explanation for him to have thrown a black/seal dog when bred to a buckskin bitch is that he is a "milk chocolate," not a blonde/rednose.
One more thing also, is that both Ouch and Silverback had/have beautiful full-drop ears, which Silverback throws rather prepotently in a high-percentage of his offspring.
