This has me confused. Since Maltese are white, why would you think the mom had anything to do with producing mostly black colored babies? I can understand different moms putting out different looking babies as far as face, structure and coat quality but how could a Maltese influence a litter to be more black in color? |
The maltese was not the one who offered the dominant gene (black) for the coloring...the only gene she has to give is the extreme recessive pie bald gene.
