Some breeders use a black dog to keep color. Most would use a black bitch. But again you are new to the idea of breeding and not experienced. I do believe if a black bitch was used in a breeding program and that was her only issue I wouldn't have a problem. But when I say no other issues that means, NO HEALTH issue first and then she has no more than 2 other faults that would be a rule of thumb. I however, would love to breed everything as close to the standard as possible.
I try to stay within standard as close as I can. Like I said on another thread there is no perfect breed but if you study pedigrees and get with a good mentor that always helps.
