Thanks Basenji Zeke. good link! it explains blue - dd quite nicely. but i think the information on issabella and dilute + liver(bb) will cause even more confusion. The Thai Ridgeback does not ( at least a standard color Thai Ridgeback should not) have the b gene. there are no liver colored dogs in standard color Thai Ridgeback, no brown noses. so this is a good example of where a common name, issabella, is being used to describe 2 different colors. all so called "issabellas" ( what i call blue fawn ) in the Thai Ridgeback have blue noses. so if a weimaraner is the true color of an issabella(rrdd) the name is being used improperly for the Thai Ridgeback. Thai Ridgeback should always be BB and blue fawn ("issabella") would be BBdd.
