Hi, Reading with interest that allowing whites will give us white legs, blazes etc ................ I have a question and this will go back many years ............. I bred a Joey Baby daughter to a Phantom son, in the resulting litter of nine I got one female pup that had white part way up the front legs with tan freckles along with a huge white chest marking, it was a real shock (all other 8 were normal colored B & Tâs) ......... no the bitch was not mis mated as I owned both sire and dam, (the dam was B & T the sire was pure black) and at no point was the bitch ever outside without me ............ I called the resulting female Sunflowerâs Flash of White ............ I later did a extremely close in breeding of her to her litter brother interesting to note that all of the 9 pups were just normal Black and Tan, no extra white. On a side note I showed Flash at the BC specialty one year, I forget who the judge (old age) was but he spent several minutes checking her out, even looked at the standard, he seemed very confused as to what to do with her, if I remember right she placed 4th in competition.
