Labrador coat colour genetics (again!)

[Anonymous]

OK – I have a question…

If you have yellow lab bitch and mate it with a choc lab stud dog – what colour puppies do you get…

of course you’ll also need this info:

Yellow lab bitch has a black Lab mum and a yellow lab dad.

Choc lab stud dog apparently also carries yellow gene

Will the puppies mainly be yellow  ???

cos I want a black one  ;D

I’ve been hunting for it and I couldn’t find it  :-[

I remember we did it before…

I just wondering what chance there are of black puppies really….  will keep hunting for it!

Have tried lots of combinations and I can’t find the right thread… found lots referring to it but no link  :-\  – I remember you putting all the gene combinations down and then I worked out what genetics oki’s parents must have had – am cross i can’t find it  🙁

You could try the Exercise: the canine genetics lab and see if that helps any (if not, it’s still fun breeding virtual labradors  ;D ).

tis that last link that GSP posted i think as that was yellow mum and brown dad and all puppies were black  🙂

and Bev has done a post of all the combinations last one on page 2, so it depends on if mum is a bb or Bb , BB carrier (am sure i read when i was doing that bb carriers have brown noses and BB bB have black might be wrong tho) if she a bb there will all choc.

But i guess you told them you want a black puppy? so she must carry the black gene 🙂

Mum’s last litter were all black puppies… (and the sire was Pedro, another Choc – Loki’s dad)

This is why I ask….

The mum is Loki’s half sister (same breeder)
The dad is same breeder as Loki’s Dad – but different Dog

so Lokis’s Dad is Pedro – but this mating is with Murphy:

I have asked for full pedigrees to be emailed to me…

But I just wondered what the chance of black puppies was… cos I don’t want a yellow one  😀

Gracie – that is def the right link – so mum is

eeBB (although don’t understand why she isn’t black then ??? )

Dad must be:

EEbb or Eebb – am guessing Eebb – for him to be choc?

right or wrong  ???

[Anonymous]

Eebb x eeBB 50% black 50% yellow pups

So – I might get a black one?

Need an E to be black if I remember correctly.

[Anonymous]

But E refers to the yellow gene… and B to black?
