Hi everyone, I was wondering what the outcome would be if you bred a blue Staffy with a white and brown one?!

    Can I breed my male Chihuahua, who is white with cream ears, with a white female that has grey ears?

    Thanks @nutronaute, well done ;) I totally agree with that, especially as there’s still blue fawn, tricolour is possible, black, brindle... anyway, for that you really need to know the bloodlines, to see what the parents carry (and I don’t just mean mum and dad... :)..) And even then... thankfully, there are always surprises, for better or worse.

    You'll need to study the parents' genotype alongside their phenotype to see which colours are dominant or recessive.

    Blue is normally a recessive trait, so it's rarer.

    Well, it turns out that, genetically speaking, the combinations mentioned earlier might not be the only ones possible... If one of the grandparents, for example, is a colour other than brown, blue, or white... then that colour can resurface by skipping a generation... exactly like it does with humans... So no, not all the combinations had been covered... ;-) ... they can even be a different colour from their parents, actually. And that goes for any puppies where the family tree isn't known...

    It goes further back than just the parents; it depends on your dog's whole lineage, as some genes are recessive and might only show up every two or three generations (just like with humans, actually).

    ...and you can’t really predict what the pups' future coats will be like; it's virtually impossible. Even breeders who are really clued up on genetics and selective breeding struggle with it... if they manage it at all!

    Patience! =)

    Thank you, it’s just because I’d heard there might be some brindle or tri-colour ones.

    Some of the puppies will take after the mum and others will take after the dad!!! You won't get any tricolour puppies if that's what you're wondering!!!
