Mutts Is Mutts

This YouTube video is terrific. If you listen carefully you will hear most of the arguments used to sell Labradoodles and other mixed breed dogs for vast sums of money. It used to be just Cockapoos, but now many breeds are crossed to create - expensive MUTTS. They are NOT healthier, smarter, or anything else. Responsible breeders of purebred dogs spend a lot of time & money doing health testing in an attempt to produce the healthiest possible pups - their goal, to produce ever better quality. Designer Dog breeders have a different goal - to make money.

I have a question about genetics, as it seems I am confused. I know that two black spotted dogs can produce a liver puppy if they both carry the liver gene. But for example...What if two black spotted dogs produce one liver puppy and two black spotted puppies? Will the black spotted pups be pure for black or will they carry liver as well? I had always thought if a black spotted pup has a liver littermate, then it must carry liver, but recent readings have said otherwise. So which way is it? I knew you would know!
