Breeding and Color

[hogdog]

First off, I breed for bulldogs, not color. With that said, I would like to know what color combinations are possible if I breed my red/rednose female to a buckskin dog. Jack, your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just curious...I believe you can only get black if one of the parents is. Is that correct?

Yes and no.

Strictly speaking, you are correct ... unless you really have a chocolate/rednose, because a chocolate-colored dog is a derivative of black

Many people mistakenly call chocolate dogs "red/rednoses" but they're not ...

Typically, when you breed a chocolate to a buckskin, and get a "black," the dog is not a true black, but a very dark SEAL ... as for instance when I got Stormbringer's sister Black Witch by breeding the chocolate-colored Coca Cola to the buckskin Poncho.

At the time, I too was ignorant of the fact Black Witch was really a *seal* colored dog (you can tell because her coat had red highlights, whereas a true black does not).

Hope this clarifies,

Jack

There are rare exceptions. An all white dog with brown patches and a black nose, bred to a black nose black bitch, gave me a red coat with white markings and red nose.

Again, two black nose dogs can have recessive genes and throw red coats and noses.

It's two recessive red/rednoses that can't throw dominant black coats and noses.

100 percent correct
