again, please let me know if anything needs to be changed.

ee is recessive, so under the ee you would have a chocolate and tan point based on your setup. the only issue is that a red dog would not have tan points. because the nose is not black and they are genetically chocolate under the ee, this would be a chocolate based red dapple.

also don't forget to color the nails and pads on the main lines.

Oh dang! I was in a rush to get to work my bad, will edit when I get home. But is the geno correct or what would need to be fixed? I was using a red merle as a refence and usually [with most Merle I've bred/seen] they have red noses. Sorry if I'm sounding dumb I just want in depth type stuff lol.

depending on the breed of dog you are looking red merle, like in Australian shepherds, is a chocolate and tan merle. when referencing colors, use dachshund if you can. most dogs with a liver nose is genetically chocolate. ee dogs can have what is called a dudley nose which is where there is pigment loss so it looks like its a pinker color.

in dachshunds, merle is referred to as dapple. this is a chocolate based red dapple, x

this is a normal "EE/Ee" red dapple. x

Red and Black based dogs have black noses [ recessive red ["ee"] can have a dudley nose ]
Chocolate dogs have liver.
Their dilutes can have gray or lighter liver noses.

the geno itself is correct,

I was looking at this

Cool. Thanks. I'll get a third one up tonight.

that’s s chocolate and tan dapple. you’d need more of a chocolate color and gray chocolate type of color to make that coloration

Alright. I'm trying to learn this as I go haha hopefully my next one wont be too messed up. Thanks for putting up with my instant questions.

[eleutheromania]

you’re good. xD. i’m happy to answer genetic questions for others to learn. so far you’ve done gone genetic wise, the only issue was the tan points being on this one.

So I guess if I just colored its nose more of a black or called it a chocolate dapple/merle it would've been "golden"? XD

[eleutheromania]

no. you have a red dog with a liver nose making it chocolate based. then the pattern of dapple. take out the tan points on the muzzle, legs and eyebrow and the design would be fine. all together you have a chocolate based red dapple. the colors you used aren’t chocolate
