Color linked genes

I know if my line of dogs and I get every color a Plott throws. I have not had a Maltese Plott in over twenty years and then a female i have started throwing them. Maltese and buckskins are a recessive gene and both parents have to carry that gene to have them. Black and black brindle are dominant colors. That being said, I have not found any correlation between color and ability. I have had good ones in every color and culls in every color. I can say that I have not had a bad Maltese but I usually do not keep them. One of the top three Plotts I have owned in over 40 years was a Buckskin. The other one was a reddish brown brindle and the third was a Black with brindle trim female.
