I believe they said that red was still the overwhelming color present so I guess any changes in the relative percentage of black dogs in the population as a whole are still pretty small. I was just looking at it from a little too simplistic perspective knowing that by chance, you sometimes you get all black (or vice versus) when breeding to a red in a litter, so over a few years span you could locally have a relatively larger number of blacks appear. But that fluctuation probably would correct itself over a pretty short period of time.
I have learned far too much about this industry and know that because a dog is registered AKC doesn't mean that the pup is well bred and even from humane conditions. I sent the AKC an e-mail after learning a great deal about the puppy mill industry and they have not responded. If you wish to really know more you can look for the National Mill Dog Rescue and check out the ASPCA. The national government won't pass FDA legislation to protect animals from unhealthy to down right cruel conditions.
I always encourage everyone I know that if they wish to get a pure bred dog to find a rescue or meet the breeder and see the conditions the puppies are from. The AKC gets millions of dollars every year from people "registering" litters online. Anyone can register if they want to fill out the paper work.
