Color genetics question.(long)

[brownnewf]

For all of you color gentics experts out there, I have been reading up on some of the color gentics and I need someone out there to let me know if I have this right. Both of the boys carry some diiferent colors in there genes so I am a little confused. Sherman seems to be a bit easier than Leroy, so here it goes.
Sherman's grandmother was brown and white, which makes his mother landseer recessive(?) his father is brown, no landseer recessive gene. So there is a 25% chance that Sherman may also carry the landseer gene but would have to be bred to another dog that carried it to produce brown/white pups and or black/ white-or is it just one or the other and not both color combos that could be produced?

Leroy's dad is beige so Leroy automatically carries the dilute gene but would have to be bred to another that carried the dilute gene to produce a dilute color? and if bred to a black or brown recessive they could produce brown, black, grey or beige? If bred to black no dilute or recessive gene they would produce brown or black or just black? (because black is the dominant gene?)
Please tell me if I am even close on any of this or way off!

Just a side note-I am not planning on breeding just curious about the color gentics.

Sherman: brown and 25% chance of landseer recessive. If he carried landseer,
to produce brown&white: would need to breed to dog who (at least carried) both brown and landseer.
to produce black&white: would need to breed to a dog who (at least carried) landseer


Leroy: brown and dilute recessive:
to produce dilute colour (beige, grey): would need to breed to a dog who carries a dilute gene
if bred to brown recessive and dilute recessive: could produce beige
if bred to black and dilute recessive: could produce grey
if bred to black (no brown recessive), no dilute: all black
if bred to black, (brown recessive), no dilute: half black, half brown
if bred to brown, no dilute: all brown

Glad someone could figure that all out....My head is spinning in cirlces just reading it...YIKES!!!:icon_stupid::icon_stupid: I'm definitely not in the category of genetics.

Interesting info to know though. Boy I really feel dumb.....

Thanks for breaking it down like that. I think I was putting too much thought into it.

Yes, it's "very simple" once you know the basics of the colour genetics . If you're way too curious to know what they carry, you can always test them for the colours .
