In Cocker Spaniel dogs black coat color (B) is dominant over red coat color (b). Also solid color (S), is dominant over spotted color (s). The genes for coat color and spotted or solid color are unlinked. In a test cross, a solid black coated dog of uncertain heritage was crossed with a dog with a spotted red coat.
