Chris, I sure hope it works that way because we just bred a parti-colored black and tan boy to a little blenheim girl. He has all of the qualities that she needs (shorter back, lovely rear end, etc) including a lovely, broad cushy face, so in a few weeks, I should know a little bit more about the whole color/parti breeding. Keep your fingers crossed for me because on this particular breeding, we're after a blenheim boy who has the rear end and head of his black and tan dad. Myra
