    Doesn't come with every breed its due to a mutation in the melanophillin gene

    So is this only in staffs ? and tell me what was the black bred Irish dogs because the Dublin dogs was red or the odd Black and Tan and the psycho dogs was mostly white the odd brindle and a few pieds.

    On a site dedicated to WORKING DOGS I wouldn't expect to see a bunch of grown men bumping dicks over a dogs color.
