The Livernose Ridgeback
 

The Livernose Ridgeback is a subspecies of schwarznasigen RR. You have liver-colored or brown nose and paw pads and claws.
Puppies are born with a brown nose with blue eyes that are amber to the eighth week.
The gene is Livernose (child) recessive inheritance, it continues with the puppy only if both parents are gene carriers.
The number of brown noses directed in a litter after the gene proportion of the parents, assuming that both are gene carriers, either with brown or black nose.

There are only red-nosed dogs if it is present in both lines, the recessive gene for Livernose.
In two spalterbigen dogs (they are always Schwarznasig) are theoretically and with a very large number of descendants Livernose 25%, 50% and 25% black faced spalterbige homozygous black noses.
In Livernose x Schwarznasig (spalterbig in Livernose) 50% and 50 Livernose Schwarznasig fall in spalterbig Livernose.
Livernose x Livernose gives 100% Livernose, this pairing is done very rarely.
During the mating Livernose x Schwarznasig (homozygous) are no Livernose puppies.
