I'm the "LIST"  from whom Penny needed "protection."  All I did was display a 
human frailty; I made a mistake.  It was rectified IMMEDIATELY and I fully 
admitted that I was wrong, but that wasn't enough, so here goes again...

I was Wrong.  Wrong. Wrong.  I don't breed Whites and I had forgotten that the 
"E" locus controls White in the GSD and the recessive allele is "e."  When a 
dog inherits two of the recessive alleles, i.e. "ee,"  the dog will be White 
despite still having the "A" locus gene, which controls color, in place.  
Therefore, a White dog is Genetically a "standard color", but Phenotypically 
White.  The White dog when bred to a standard color dog can produce offspring 
that are standard color.

I'm sorry that Penny feels the need to hunt for the White bitch's pedigree.  I 
need no convincing.  Penny's word is good enough for me.  My apologies to Penny 
and the List for making Penny feel like she was being attacked.

Thanks to everyone who wrote thinking I needed â?oprotectionâ? from the List, 
regarding last nightâ?Ts post about the (masking gene) sable that Eagle was 
bred to, way back when.  I have the bitchâ?Ts pedigree packed away somewhere, I 
think; Iâ?Tll try to find it.  The addendum to the story is this:  the 
bitchâ?Ts owner dearly wanted a black and tan to keep, but ironically all pups 
were sable.  As The Rolling Stones once sang, â?oYou canâ?Tt always get what 
you want.�
Thanks again, listers.  Da List is da best!
