| Chocolate Tri-
The hair color on Choco's can vary slightly, but, there
is no getting around the LIVER Colored nose. The nose,
eyeliner, and pads should be some variation of brown,
whether Hershey type chocolate or a more diluted chocolate as
in chocolate fawns. The eyes are often light gold, green, blue, or
gray. If the nose is not liver(brown) it is NOT A TRUE
CHOCO! In addition to the nose color, DNA Color testing
will reveal the "bb" alleles in TRUE CHOCOLATE dogs.

New info on the
Chocolate(brown) geneotype b
As if this were not confusing
enough, I have now been advised that there are 3
Sequences to the b genotype. Which means you can have
either b, b2, or b3 on your dogs DNA. This can be on one
or both sides of the complete gene. Therefore, it is
possible to have your dog dna any one of the following
types:
Bb Bb2 Bb3
bb bb2 bb3
b2b b2b2 b2b3
b3b b3b2 b3b3
Some labs recognize all 3 sequences and some don't, so
you could have a b2 or b3 on your dog and not know it.
What does this mean? To put it simply, the more little
b's your dog has, the higher the percentage SHOULD be as
to the puppies your dog will give it to. |
