The Clarence LITTLE book was first published in 1957   , so I would suggest that this might be a bit out of date, even though it was republished in 1967  

The Linda CASE book looks good as a general textbook; but as you say its quite pricy if you just want a genetics book

Roy Robinson's "Genetics For Dog Breeders" is still in print & has extensive chapters on coat colour inheritance. Malcolm Willis' "Genetics of The Dog" also has good info on colour inheritance but is out of print - copies do turn up on Ebay sometimes so it's worth keeping an eye out for (neither book goes into the inheritance of sable in Cockers though ). Robinson's book was updated a few years ago & this version is not cheap but you might be able to pick up the previous version for a much better price. The Clarence Little book is considered a classic work but you'd probably be better off with something more up to date

That's a good Buy It Now price on Ebay - I've seen copies going for well over £50-£60 in the past
