Sorry to be negative, but this game has to have the dumbest people in it on the planet.

The confusion as to the color black (and a red nose) is absolutely astounding to me.

Folks, if your dog is NOT black ... he will not THROW black. (The only "exception" to this is if the dog is chocolate, which is a dilution of black.)

People always confuse dominant and recessive, to the point of retardation

It is very simple: black is dominant / red is recessive.

If you have a red dog that means he has LOST the black gene and canNOT throw black. Only way to get a black dog from a red dog is to breed the red to a black.

If the black gene is in there, the dog will BE black. If the dog is NOT black, he has NO black gene.

It is only the red gene which, being recessive, can all of a sudden pop back up out of nowhere, if it happens to align with another recessive (and therefore hidden) red gene. NOT the black gene. If the black gene is there, then it shows itself regardless of any other gene being present. That is why it is CALLED "dominant."

Pardon me for the outburst, but I just had to have a morning rant after reading several pages of utter ignorance on another forum
