I don't think there is ANY way to figure out the "percentage" of color you
will get in each
breeding. Black is recessive......but if a black is bred to a black and tan
that DOES carry
the black factor you never know how many blacks you will get........or even if
you will get ANY.
OR......you could get a high percentage of blacks. One never knows.
We have bred a black and tan stud who carried the black factor for sure....to a
solid
black bitch and have gotten no blacks.
We have bred two black and tans that both carry the black recessive (
obviously ) and 50%
of the litter was blacks. Breeding black to black is the only sure way to
know.
If you breed a black to a black and tan or sable that does NOT carry the black
recessive you
will not "risk" getting blacks in that breeding.....but you will deepen and
enrich pigment.

If you breed a black to a black you will get only blacks. However if you
breed a black to a b/t who carries the black recessive you would probably get
some black puppies but not fifty percent as some one had said. I bred my Zurich
daughter who had solid black littermates to my Harley who had at least one
black puppy in every litter that he sired hoping for black babies and got only
ONE! This particular subject is of special interest to me because I have three
black dogs ( two bitches and one male ) and one dark black and tan who should
carry the black recessive. I do not know that for sure ,it is only a guess
because he has only had one litter and he was bred with my one bitch who I know
does not carry the black gene. In about three years I am hoping to breed
nothing but solid black dogs simply because I love them.
