the bad thing about recessives is that the trait can be hidden and then show up when when the sire and dam are carriers. The good thing is that they can be eliminated or masked again when combined with a dominant from either the sire or dam..
but like I always say...if you keep them related and breed the best of those then you will do ok...and the more you know about dominant and recessive traits the better off you will be...bu tit can get complicated...
a good example would be by crossing 2 yellow dogs and then get 9 out of 9 brindle pups in the litter. It happened 2 me and it took me by surprise.
I called Mr. Robert Kemmer and he told me that most of the time when you cross a yellow kemmer from a long line of yellow dogs to a different strain of mtn cur or breed that the majority of the pups would be brindle if not all....
