Wow, very handsome looking dogs Samba! I love the melanistic B and T's.

Fax vom Tor zum Sauerland looks like a power house. Gorgeous dog!!

I'm trying to work out how I got melanistic B&T, sable, and Bi-color in the same litter...

Here is how I see it. Father is sable, out of sable/bt and bt/bt
Mother is bi, out of sable/black and sable/bt

The only way I can make it work is if Brix (http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/443125.html) is actually bi colored and not melanistic B&T as I thought he was. Brix is the maternal grandfather listed as a b&T.

Is anybody good enough at genetics to help me work this out? I keep feeling like the answer is D)not enough information.

Link, the boy that I lost, was the only sable in a litter of nine. There were b/t, black, and him. The dam was black and the sire, dark sable. He was also the only coat in the litter. I just found my pics of him growing up, I'll have to post a few.

I can't even figure out how my puppies' mother got to be bi-color unless Brix (her father) is bi.

Add: Travels, your scenario makes more sense than mine (I THINK!) because sable is dominant.

Jackie, Brix isn't Bi, she looks the same as my dogs, just blankets. My dogs father is Melanistic, mother is sable and they produced the same as your litter. Mostly sables but a few blk/tan melanistics and a bi-color pup or 2. DOn't ask me about genetics, cause I don't understand it but it's possible.

I know 4pack, that's what I always thought. But if he isn't Bi, then where did the bi come from in his daugher??? People are saying that bi is a separate gene. I would say that Bella is actually a melanistic melanistic b/t, but she had 5 bi puppies!

by VomMarischal on 26 May 2010 - 17:05

I don't think there's much doubt that she [Bella] is bi.....

Oh I forgot to add they had solid black also. I may be wrong about the bi. I just looked at all the prodgeny and the 1 I thought was bi, doesn't look as if he kept his tar heels. Faust was the same way. I thought he would be bi but lost all his heels and toe penciling and got tan behind the ears at about a year old. So maybe your daughter will end up melanistic instead of Bi.

Here is my dogs deal...

No, Bella will always be bi. She's over 3 years old and has toe pencilling (light) and heavy tarheels.

ADD: and two of her puppies are likely to be melanistic b&t. But three are for sure bi-color. They are blacker than Rotties.
