Answer
Hi Andrew --

All dogs are generally black or red. All other colors are a genetic variation of the two.

Breeding white to white, pups are 60 percent white; 18 percent red; 17 percent brown; and five percent black.

Breeding white to brown, pups are 43 percent brown; 10 percent black; 27 percent red; and 20 percent white.

Breeding black to black, pups were 85 percent black; 11 percent brown; one percent red; and three percent white.

Breeding white to black the pups were 24 percent white; 14 percent red; 30 percent black; and 32 percent brown.

Breeding brown to black the pups were 52 percent brown; 40 percent black; three percent red; and five percent white.
