I hit "post reply" and it posted a whole new message. LOL. I'm just not computer literate!!

That is what I thought as well, but I wasn't sure. Thanks :-)
I believe that most chocolates carry the gene for green eye color, so if I had a green-eyed chocolate dam to breed my male red with the liver pigmentation I might have a good chance that he is heterozygous for green eye-color (that is if eye color is a straight forward gene in dogs. Not sure, but it is a very complicated gene for people..)
Anyway green-eyed chocolates are hard to come by! :-)
Thanks!

    I do see a difference in the faces and stature of your spoodles (we call them cockapoos here, but frankly I MUCH prefer the name spoodle!) It is interesting the subtle difference in the face and head ... more

        I also live by the sea, so having long long hair is not possible or I would have to bathe them every day! We live a few blocks from a big bay so we walk down to the beach often in nice weather. My... more

        We had a few ear infections when they were younger, but all good for years now. I do use a ear solution if we have been to the beach, it helps dry out any excess water and keeps infections at bay.... more

  a buff/red dog with liver pigment (nose, eye rims, lips), would carry chocolate. I would guess that the same is true for Spoodles. As for eye color, I have no clue. ;)

  Are you in Australia? I have not seen any blue Merles in OZ. sorry can't help with the genetic side of things. Do you have any photos of your puppies? Are you only breeding f2's?
