Let me give my example
my bitch Abotere's Zulika is red ant white.
father Abotere's Mogli - brindle white
mother Abotere's Zhenga - brindle whitein brackets are other possibilities red
father DD Kbrk ayay(ayat,ayaw,ayas,a)
mother DD Kbrk ayay(ayat,ayaw,ayas,a)Zulika is a red and white.
Parents received one literce k
DD kk ayay(ayat,ayaw,ayas,a)Zulika bore children father is Abotere's Wazhiri(tri color DD kk atat)
Only two alleles atat tri color showPuppies were born, all red and white
the children I know that design is only one
DDkkayat
all carry the tri gene (at), but it is masked by a gene (ay)I guess i kinda get that but i am used to using the letters DD, Yy, Kk, and then for brindle is K^br
so adding ayat and all that is just confusing me. I have been uing the above ones so now im not sure what you mean. is there a way to transform yours using those letters? -

ok it my girls parents are (mom) RD and (dad) BLK. I figured mom would be DDKkYY and dad would be DDKKY and its either y or Y.
So would my girl be DDKkYY (she is a red puppy)

one last thing for anyone to answer. ok lets say there is a 16 punnet square.
The thing is br br br br down the left side and along the top is br Br bR BR
you will get Bbrr, bbRr, bbrr, and BbRr,
Bbrr is black. bbRr is red. bbrr is Tri and BbRr is black also.
ok so here is my question. BbRr is Black but if there is a R that is a dominant Red, so what does that mean? does that mean this dog is able to produce red puppies tho it is a black and white? or does this mean that the black was just more dominant in this color pattern and it over took the red making the dog look black in color. Just curious. thanks

I think R is here only to make difference between "r" (tricolor) and "R" (red). Just way of writing.
This link could help you ;) http://www.vetgen.com/canine-coat-color.html
For basenjis is enough to know about K locus and A locus. Black and brindle are on K locus, red and tricolor are on A locus.
Black is "the most dominant", than brindle/trindle, red and at the end "the least dominant" is tricolor.
If your "R" is for red and "r" for tricolor, your BbRr should be the same as Kk ayat (I suppose :) ). This is tri-factored black dog who can produce black, red and tricolor pups.

It could produce black puppies, red puppies or tri puppies.
I will write more when I get home from work tonight.

ok thank you lvoss. I know you will be writing more when you get home but i just want to ask. How does the B and R show up on a dog. Meaning what does the puppy look like when it has a gene of BbRr? (im not sure if that gene combo is right. just wondering that if it has both dom Blck and dom Red, what would the puppy be in color and what genes would it have?)
