You should NEVER breed chocolates to reds, as you risk getting chocolate nosed reds, which is incorrect and not very attractive, IMO. For a good explanation of color dominance from a reputable, knowledgable breeder, go to http://www.12many.com/duchwood/colorpat.html

One good rule to remember is the red will always be dominant to other colors. Chocolate/tan to chocolate is your best bet to get a chocolate. I breed a chocolate/tan smooth to a light red dapple and these are the colors I normally get--silver dapple (sometimes called black/tan dapple) which means they are black with silver, tan, and white spots, a light brown with black highlights. My puppies have been pretty!
