Very interesting thread. Mr. Howard, I am the one that called you not too long ago to ask about your pup out of Boone. I got a male pup out of Boone and Rick Clough's Katie female. My pup is a black and tan and there were 2 of them in the litter. Going back a few generations on both sides, all the dogs are yellow. I asked Curt Ladner, Rick Clough, and Art Lee where the black came from and they all said old Ladner blood. So Rick's Katie is out of Loyd's Bud x Cry and according to those gentlemen, that's where the black came from. So I just think it's pretty interesting how those old color genes are there floating around, waiting for the right cross to show themselves. Like Loyd said, his dogs only throw yellow or red. Very interesting. I happen to really like the looks of my black pup, I wonder if he'll wind up looking anything like old Black Pearl? Time will tell.
