My Ch.Harley's first breeding was to a solid black and he was a really dark bi-color and there were nine puppies......four solid blacks and five bi-colors......

He Makes Progress Only When He Sticks His Neck Out A Quote By James Conant ----- Original Message ----- From: "Penny Kroh" <farmdogforever@xxxxxxxxx> To: "The List" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 5:44:03 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] How about bi-colors? I am guessing that bi-colors are recessive, along with solid blacks. Is this true? We made a breeding last summer, our first in 5 years, between Izzy (a bi-color who carries for black as her sire is black) and Roadie who is sable (one black and tan parent and one sable, with no blacks in the immediate background.) We got three very dark black and tans and 3 sables--the black and tans are NOT bi-colored. Do you think that any of these pups will carry for bi-color? Some should carry for black; hopefully the 2 sisters that we kept.
