I used this color calculator for my horses too bad it is not available for dogs. The Animal Genetics lab is one of the best out there for testing for dogs and horses. I found it years ago and used it as I never liked UCDavis even though my horse breed uses them instead. Coat Color Calculator http://www.horsetesting.com/CCalculator1.asp Does it not factor in whether the black is dominant or recessive? It use to be that the GSD was not suppose to have dominant black. http://www.horsetesting.com/Canine/Canine.asp -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 1/30/14, CDRHVN@xxxxxxx <CDRHVN@xxxxxxx> wrote: Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Question on blacks To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, January 30, 2014, 1:31 AM If you have a black bitch (father black tan, Mother black) and you breed her to a black male (father and mother black tan) what do you get?
