white Bmc

I am no geneticist but I believe u are correct. If u have a trait that is dilute and u keep breeding these dogs that have that dilute trait eventually it will show up. Once it does it will continue to show from time to time. The colors that u see today that are rare at one point were common. Selective breeding diluted these colors making the now common yellow the dominant color. With the white dogs it isn't as much color as shade. A white lab is considered yellow just as a red lab is also called yellow. They are merely shades of yellow. In labs the determining factor as to if they have inferior genetics in these colors is the color of the nose and nails. A white dog with black nose eye lids and toes is a yellow. A white with pink eye lids nose and toes is called a Dudley and considered a defect. If u wanted to bring back the colored curs u could selectively breed useing color as a point and breed a conformation structurally and aptitude YBMC that was no longer yellow. There are breeders today that are selectively breeding based on color to have their rare colored YBMC. I have seen one that based on his own words was doing so for sure. Not saying he was not also looking at aptitude and natural ability at the same time.
