Hi everyone.I posted a blog about my puppy being born June 19th and there were 11 puppies but only one dark rich caramel boy in the whole litter.That is what i wanted but i want so much more than just the right color.Temperament,size,energy level,ect,ect.There are a couple of chocolate boys but im afraid of his color fading over time.I love rich dark chocolate but only if it stays that color.Someone told me that if they are born a very dark almost black looking chocolate that they will hold that color there whole lives.Is this true? The mother doesnt carry the dilute gene.Im not sure about the father though.He is still very dark chocolate in color though.Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

No guarantees is right. Less chance though.

The color genetics gets really complicated. Aside from the main genes there are dilution genes, rufus genes, silvering genes  and genes they don't even know about : )

Karen and F - OMD, it does sounds very complicated!  

Here is one explanation of what is known or can be tested for now:

GMTA! That's the same link I posted a few spaces above!

Whoops missed that : )

I say Daisy is hot chocolate with marshmallow now. Ha

Great description and delicious too.

Daisy sounds yummy!

Such a cute description! I say Kona is pewter. Their coloring seems to bring up all sorts of names other breeders don't seem to use. ;o)

Many people describe Tara's coloring as orange. Claiming they have never seen an orange dog before!  I haven't seen any  orange puppies offered by breeders either!  Maybe the professional eye sees it  as apricot?

I believe the professional eye describes TaraBear as amazingly adorable apricot!
