I think that they actually were talking about a dog that is dominant for black. It can be either a tricolor or a black & tan. What is means is that this dog does not carry a gene for red. If the dog is a tricolor then it will produce only tricolors when bred to a parti color. If it is a black & tan, it will produce only black & tans.
A dominant tri bred to a wholecolor that carries for parti will produce tri's and BTs. A dominant BT bred to a parti will produce all BTs if it does not carry a gene for parti, and BT's and tri's if it does carry a gene for parti. The main idea to remember is that a dominant tri or dominant BT does not carry a gene for red.
