    just wondering, if you have two liver and white springers, bitch and dog, and one or the other has come from a litter of both black and white and liver and white springers, if you were to breed them would the pending litter only produce liver and white pups or is there a chance of a throw back to a black pup?

    Throw backs can happen in every breed.

    Including Humans :D

    black is the dominant gene so you should get black and white pups as a small percentage chance

    You sure could - could have a whole litter of them but odds are on a few in the litter alright.

    They'll come out playing the banjo with a penchant for squeelin' pigs!!
    Yee haaawww!!! :D:D
