One day the female poodle became pregnant; shortly after six beautiful puppies were born. However, much to the shock of the towns folks, they were all dark brown! Not that it's anyone else's business, for goodness sake, but did a handsome brown poodle catch the eye of our lady here? Or did she stay true to her one love? O She had to have an affair! It would be impossible for two albino dogs to have dark brown puppies, since albinism is a recessive trait. O It is possible for to two albino dogs to have non-albino offspring as long as there is more than one gene required for pigmentation.arrow_forward
