I understand that there is no makings on entrie forms for color. That is not what I am saying. I am very familiare with showing animals. Have been doing it for years. Non ask for color of the animal on the entrie from unless it is a color registry type show. What I do not want to run into is the problem of at some point is someone saying hay that dog does not match the papers. Them makes a big stink about it. Although since they do to ask for you to provide pictures or markinds of the animal when they are registered. Which I think is wrong. There is very little way to know if that is the correct dog for those papers.

I do very much understand how differnt genes work on color. All I need to know is which are considered bass color and which are dominant over the other.

Modifiers are not truely dominent or recesive like that of basse color they just modify a color. However when they are there they are expressed as long as the gene they modifie is present. If not then it is said to hide. Delutes again are the same they are a expressed if present. They look differnt in the hetrozigous form then the homozigous form. However some delutes can hide is some colors but this is rear.

Although I NEVER breed for color it is fun to know the posibilities anyway and understand the genetics behind breeding.
