So, if I've understood correctly: By breeding a Black & Tan that has 1 particolor gene and 1 red gene you can get richer colored Blenheims but with a high probability of getting any/all of the other 3 colors too; they musn't be B&T's with 2 black genes though or you'll only get B&Ts and Tris. And the same applies to Rubies and is simpler I guess since they can only have two red genes (no black). Unless of course this is where what Susan Cochran was saying about E genes comes into play: I must admit she totally threw me by saying that in reality 95% of Blenheims have 2 black genes!!!
