 There are no discernable differences in their behavior or working traits, I have bred the black ones but never black to black. Best I can tell that is a color gene only, probably recessive and occasionally links to present as dominant.
  At the moment I have 2 black pups not old enough to work, they are from 2 different litters, one is all home breeding the other is a three quarter home breeding from a female that was out of one of my males and another strain female. That total outside female had 3 or 4 black ones when bred to my yellow male. When I get them at home there is usually just 1 or 2. Long term I usually have from 1-3 on the yard.
 I don't mind them at all but don't breed for them since that's not how I found them but don't consider it when evaluating them. Some folks that see them prefer their color.

They are nice dogs. Do you notice any differences in the ones that come black vs the yellow ones in any way? I know it’s not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but a lot of times in the game chickens when a family would get tightly bred, you would get what they call a sport. What they were was a throwback to something that was used to create them. For instance my dad had a family of Black Japs. They were tight bred when he got them and then he started getting solid white ones. The black and the white were different in many ways besides color. I’ve seen it many times over the years in different families. I’ve seen it in dogs as well. A pure this or that that was created by breeding more than one breed or family together to get them. We see it in the plotts for example. I was just curious as to whether you noticed it or not? Have you ever bred back to any of the black dogs?

  To add to that I frown on the Curs and Plotts that don't hold up as well as their counterparts, IE some time back I mentioned a Plott female with all the traits and abilities that was culled because of constantly running her feet off. Nature culls all weakness in the wild, in our performance animals it is up to us to play that role.

 No, the only dogs I carry are one that is hurt too bad to walk. If they can't follow me all day and still catch I don't want them, to me that would be embarrassing for the dog. IE yeah, he will really catch but I have to carry him so he doesn't get too tired.

 I will echo what Cajun said, I pay pretty close attention to everything I hear, see, or read. If we are just stuck in our own experience or even in our respected mentors experience, we could be missing the forest because of the trees.
  My base beliefs come from many conversations with Everett Weems, Ben Jordan, and Charles Gantte, but I pick up tidbits everywhere, and dream up some from my own observations and still fall short. I don't believe we'll ever be able to 100% understand and predict genetics.
  I don't mind getting old, that just means I didn't die young. God has kept a hand of protection on me and blessed me with good health.

  Spook has the same sire as the others, their sire is heavier made than Spook. Actually, that is all I had against his sire he was a little bit heavier made than I prefer, and it would tell on him if we had a long hot day. His dam was a half sister to the others grand sire.

  Spook is just black with yellow trim rather than yellow with black trim. He is bred the same as the others but he is older than them.  I get a few colored that way every now and then.

Obviously there’s a difference, what is the Spook dog?
