i'm not really that stupid(I hope) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Just forgot to put the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I guess you're looking for a simple explanation, but it's hard to make it really simple cuz there's so many ways bicolor can happen. The order of dominance in the alleles is sable, blk&tan (saddle), bicolor, then black; each dog carries two of those alleles and the most dominant allele of the two is what color the dog will appear (his phenotype). But if his second allele is not a duplicate of the first, the recessive allele is masked and often can't be determined til you breed and see what color he produces.
So bicolor can result from any of the combinations that you posted, as long as one of the parents carries the bicolor allele (even if it's masked by a dominant sable allele) and the pup receives one bicolor allele and one other allele that is bicolor, saddle or black, so that the dominant allele will be the bicolor. Sorry, I don't know how to make it any clearer.

That is exactly what I was looking for. I can understand it. . .most of it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Blue and fawn dobes are not allowed in Germany anymore and from there I guess all FCI countries have to disallow it. Blue and fawn are not colours as such, they are a dilution of the pigment gene. Therefore a dilution in a black dog gives blue and a dilution in the brown gives you fawn. Blues suffer from skin disorders and tend to go bold. Fawns don't suffer from this.
I liked that but my way was easier. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
