The sire and dam of your pup are BI-colors so your pup will be a BI-color. If she is homozygous for BI then she may not be as dark as one who carries one gene for BI and one for black. I am guessing she will look like her sire.

Here is the pedigree for my pup.

I'm hoping the link comes through, all these photos and links are new to me. You may have to copy and paste.

She's a melanistic b/t not a bicolor.

She will have a bit more tan/red than this dog as an adult:

this is my amature understanding and correct me if i'm wrong; also you can check out the color chart on this link http://www.ehretgsd.com/genetics.htm

with 2 bi-color parents the pup would have to be bi-color and could not be b&t. if either parent carried b&t, which is dominant over bi-color, they would be b&t themselves and they are not. since both are bi-color they would carry either 2 at (bi-color) or an at & an a (black) and there by only be able to produce bi-color pups and possibly blacks but only if they both were at+a. were there any blacks in the litter?

btw very nice looking parents.

Why fret the name, anyway? She is going to be slightly more tan/red than her parents, but to most people she will look like a near clone of her pretty dam.

MVF, I'm not fretting at all. I'm quite content no matter what color she ends up. I'm just excited about her, and curious about colors, so looked into it.
