Possibly, possibly not. Since the sire is black factored any, or all of the pups COULD be.

I've not bred a litter, so I don't know how this would work. There's a mystery litter. The sire is bi-colored with the black factor. The paternal grandmother is all black. The paternal grandfather is bi-colored. The dam is sable. The maternal grandmother is sable. The maternal grandfather is a black and tan saddle. Would any of the males in this mystery litter have the black factor? Would any of the females in this mystery litter have the black factor? Thanks Diane --------------------------------- It's here!
