Why Do So Many People Get it WRONG?

The gene that produces the dilution of a color can be found also in animals with beize color etc. The major colors suppose to be black and brown and all the others different shades of these two. So it is possible from a breeding between a black dog and a beize one to get some grey color pups, I have seen it happen quite often actually, but it seems to happen somewhat selectively, some dogs produce grey, some seal and some nothing from the above. The same gene also produces blue eyes, the ice colored ones.
I have got the above info from Great Danes' sites, all these "more official and historically followed" breeds do provide good info on such matters due to acquired for hundrends of years data.

Recently bred a Black dog to a red red nosed female, got 7 pups none are black, 4 chocolates, 2 red, and 1 blonde. Only 1 has a black nose,

The black dog had a recessive rednose gene.

Your 4 chocolates carry the black gene ... albeit diluted ... while the 2 reds and 1 blonde do not

A very nice litter so far very young but all the pups are beauty's, the chocolate's have blue eyes, both parents are inbred from different families
