R/Bred Heel Nippin' Mikey

Sire: Doss-Tex Mr. T (black/tan -- carries red and dilution gene).
Dam: Ripley (unregistered, but lineage known)

Mikey is black/tan and has produced both red/tan, solid red, black/tan, and solid black pups. From this, I know that she carries the red gene. She has produced "open-faced" and "saddle" markings on some of her previous pups.

She has an "open-face". She was borned with a dark face, like Chooch (picture below). When she was about 5 months old, the black started to fade and evenually her entire face was red (instead of black).
