a bi-color dog does not need one of his parents to carry a black gene...I will
repeat this....a bi-color dog does not need one of his parents to carry a black
gene....the original question was for a dog to be a bi-color (phenotype) must
both of his parents carry the bi-color gene...and the answer is NO....both
parents CAN carry the bi gene but it is not absolutely necessary.....the black
gene is different from the bi-color gene...here is where some confusion may be
coming......a bi-color dog's genotype must be two bi-color genes, one from each
parent or one Bi-color gene and one black gene.....a bi-color dog (phenotype)
CAN NOT have a sable or a black and tan gene!!!...any dog with a sable gene is
a sable dog...any dog with a black tan gene is either black and tan...or if one
or both of his parents is a sable...he can be a sable....confusing? not really,
but you must have some type of understanding in genetics in general and dog
coat colors in specific...Ed Hill
