Her last litter in Germany was 3/4 Biewers. From what I have learned about genetics the 50% chance is for each puppy born, not as a litter on whole. I was sure glad though when that last boy was born and he was a Biewer, up until then they had all been Yorkies.
These Yorkie puppies ALL have one piebald gene, because that is all the father had to give (piebald gene). So these puppies when bred to a Biewer would also have the 50% chance of Biewer or Yorkie pups. Just because they are the 2nd generation of splitters does not mean the chances are greater for them to produce Biewers. |
I think what she is asking is, if the colored pup were bred to a carrier, would the chances of it having colored pups be greater than if one of the traditional colored carriers were bred to another carrier.
that is hard to say, but I would say yes. because with two carriers, they would both hve to throw a colored gene to the same pup. but with a colored and a carrier, one parent is throwing only colored genes.
