There are several books that address dominant and recessive patters...I can visualize the one I had but can't remember who wrote it...... also there have been articles written in several breed specific publications and in the Gazette. Light eyes are recessive, for example, probably in every breed. Some desireable factors are recessives, too. As I said, I don't know of a list on the web, but there very well may be one. Google ought to be helpful in searching for something like that! Somehow I doubt that there is a list anywhere that will address EVERY instance, tho.
