As part of my college course I am doing a report on coat colour crosses in Cocker Spaniels. For this I need to gather informaiton from breeders, the more case studies for my report the better! Please tell me details about your litters to include colours of the parents you mated together, their parents and the colours of the offspring if you can, or any details that you think might help me.
Possible colours:
Black, black and tan, black and white ticked, blue roan, blue roan and tan, black and white, black white and tan
Chocolate, chocolate and tan, chocolate and white ticked, chocolate roan, chocolate roan and tan, chocolate and white, chocolate white and tan
Red, red and tan,
Orange and white ticked, orange white ticked and tan, orange roan, orange roan and tan, orange and white, orange white and tan
Lemon? (are these the same as red but lighter or do they have a dilution gene / gene modifier present?)
Sable, Silver Ash & White
Are these all the colours?
Solid x Parti = All Solid
Solid (carrying parti) x Parti = 50% Solid 50% Parti
Solid (carrying parti) x Solid (carrying parti) = 3:1 (solid:parti)
Is this all correct?
Please give me all the information that you can.
Many thanks
Craig McDonald
