Healthgene

I just got results back on one of my bitches. I was testing her to see if she carries chocolate or yellow. She came back dominant black. Her Dam is B(y) and her Sire is B(c). Has anyone every had the results be wrong? I remember a thread a while back about one of the companies that weren't good at finding the chocolate gene? Any input is appreciated!

Re: Healthgene

I don't know if they are now doing better but a few years ago they were absolutely wrong in assessing the chocolate genes.
Hope your report is trustful.

Re: Healthgene

I don't know about the accuracy of the test, but it's possible for your girl to be a dominant black

Re: Healthgene

Yes, your Bitch could be BB. In simple language Black That Carries Yellow Bred To A Black That Carries Chocolate produces 25% BB, 25% Bc, and 25% By, and 25% Byc

Re: Healthgene

Yes, I was aware of the percentages and the possibility of her being BB. I just remember someone posting awhile back about testing for chocolate and the results were no. The breeding was done and the dog produced chocolate.
