I have a project to breed sables and tri color BC's, but can not find any posts about how they set up the colors for them. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Sadie

I'm going to be no help here at all I am sure, but I have a newborn Lilac Tricolor in my kennel (for showing, hopefully) that came from a Lilac & White bitch and a Chocolate & White stud.

His grandsires are Lilac & White and a Chocolate & White, and his granddams are another Lilac Tricolor and a Chocolate & White.

His Lilac Tricolor granddam just mentioned above came from a Slate merle & Tan stud and a Slate merle bitch.

I highly doubt that helps you at all, but it might. I hope you can get your program up and running!

*Edited to mention as far as I have heard since colors were implimented, various breeds' genetics table are somewhat inaccurate. I can't recall the specific details, but I do remember some colors popping up where they were not really supposed to. Good luck, and sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Thanks, I'll add this to my notes. Too many variables in BCs lol

Take a look at my border collie kennel- Claredon:

I have a border colie project going on there too. Incorporating starter dogs for new genes. But unfortunately I ran out of male starter dogs, so I got studs in for my starter females. Worked out well with colours though.

All of my borders with low stats are part of the border collie project. If you're interested in doing some stud sharing or sharing puppies or something along those lines, I'd be more than happy to help.

Take a look at Sable and Able though- sable and white female I recently bred. She's from a Blue tri dad and a black and white mum source dog.
