Not to argue or bust your bubble but those just look like black and tans with lots of black. What I remember to be a bi-color had a little red on both sides of its cheeks and reed on the feet not on the insides of the legs and stomach. Look at some old pics of DDR true..bicolors and dogs from the early 90's they did not have as much tan or red up the legs and on the chest.

I'm sorry Amanda,
My morning attitude was showing.

It's not known which gene/s are responsible for extension of tan marking on a B&T/saddle/bicolour, but it's almost certainly not the A locus. Extent of tan shows a pattern of continuous variation so there could be multiple alleles or genes involved. But, less tan does tend to be recessive to more tan.
There's no guarantee that this bitch has inherited any bicolour allele/s from her grandfather. I tend to agree with Moons... she may produce it, she may not.

Dax is not a bicolor - he is still a pup so is still in the process of "lightening" but you can see he has already lost his black toemarks and tarheels, and is getting brown behind his ears - he will stay dark black/red (very pretty) but not bicolor.
Puppies inherit the color gene from the parents, not the grandparents. The only way your black/red dog would carry bicolor, is if he inherited it from his sire or dam. If neither sire/dam are bicolor, less of a chance that he inherited it, unless one or the other carried a bicolor recessive and gave it to him.

Nona,
I don't consider that a bi-color.
Altho it is a handsome dog.
Too much of another color on the underside.
bi means two.

Thanks for the info. I thought all the puppies would probably be black and red not bi-color but I guess I will have to see what happens.

I wish I knew more about genetics,
I have a couple pups with white toes.
Mom is not the problem it is dad, he has white toes that have almost faded away but they are still there.
His Dam and Sire have none but somewhere back in the lines there are white toes and I can only guess at the source.
Not that I really mind, but I can't help wondering where.

small amounts of white on the toes and chest are not considered faulty. Usually small amounts of white on toes does fade out and is replaced by brown, even the white nails turn black (usually). white chest-spots on the other hand, usually stick around but are covered up by adult coat unless they are larger. There should never be white anywhere else on teh body (ie throat area, face, chin, or body. I have seen a few white hairs on the tail-tip too, usually disappears when the adult coat comes in.

One pup does have a bit of white on its chest,
The same was true of my black puppies, some had white spots on the chest.
Some of those disappeared with age and a couple did not, this came from the sires side.
