Loved your contribution, LeeBeth...and Angela, you are pretty darned good at this! (You too, Maureen!)
Diane and I seem to be on the same page...and I think that LeeBeth is there with us!

What I found out, after I got my VetGen results is that I will never have chocolate puppies because Chase's genes are recessive (boo hoo hoo) and my girls' black genes are obsessive, er, I mean dominant.
But the thing that I find really interesting is that the dilute gene was not even mentioned in the VetGen results and that is really what I wanted to know, how many of my puppies will be silver? Can they ever be blue? (According to Helene, the Labradoodles can't be blue because the blue gene is never carried in Labs.)
I did get the percentage of colors that VetGen said I would get, 2/3 black and 1/3 cream (red, or apricot) but all of the black puppies, except for one so far, is turning silver. (yippee!)
So, I am still as confused as ever. Not surprising!
