Question

While the breeder was trying to match Gia with the LLEEWWSSOO dog, she got out for a while. That's how she met Hero, a stray dog from the wrong side of town . . . When Gia's puppies were born, what surprises could there have been for the dog breeder? In other words, what possible phenotypes could have appeared in Gia's and Hero's puppies, which would have subverted the breeder's expectations? Some puppies with short legs Some puppies with floppy ears Some puppies with black fur Some puppies with brindle fur Some puppies with antisocial tendencies Some puppies with blue eyes Some puppies with differently colored eyes

Explanation / Answer

That depends on the genotype of Gia, assuming that Gia is a purebred dog with genotype LLEEWWSSOO the breeder will not have surprises since these traits are dominant over recessive allele traits lleewwssoo, so even though Hero was a heterozygote "half-blood" or even a homozygote (recessive) the puppies would have a purebred phenotype. However, if these puppies have decendence then their genotype will show that they are not purebred (because Gia met Hero).
