Ok I see, so any dog no matter breed with this "recessive gene" can get a pink nose?
I must of misunderstood
Any dog with that particular recessive gene, regardless of breed, will produce it when bred to any other dog with that particular recessive gene, regardless of breed.
Blue eyes is a recessive trait in people. Just because you are blue eyed doesn't make you inbred.
May be different in Florida though? I don't know.
Im still not sure about that OWL, I have never seen a Rottweiler or many other breeds with pink noses. I know theres always the exception that one dog out of the litter comes out looking totally diff. I believe this recessive gene is only common in certain breeds as in Cats or BMC's. Clearly Owl is the master of genetics and a brown eyed Texan who's jealous of blue eyes and Floridians. hahahaahah
Matt, all he is doing is making a generalization, it doesn't matter what breed, what kind of animal, what kind of plant. In genetics if two organisms that carry a recessive gene reproduce roughly 1/4th of the offspring will be double recessive and the offspring will show this in their phenotype.
