I bred my Rat terrier one blue to a red, somone told me both parents
have to be blue to produce blue pups and in my litter I have reds, blues
and pearl. As far as I know I have no pearls in either parents but my
dogs are indoor dogs and I know for a fact my red male is the only dog
that bred her, can somone explain this??

Usenet is much more widely disseminated than your message board.
Anyway, you asked here so look for your answers here, it's only
polite.

Blue is recessive so your red rat terrier carries it somewhere behind
her. Many times a chocolate dog is mislabled as "red". I just looked
at your site, you appear to have 2 chocolates a blue and a black. What
color is your red dog's nose? You do not have to carry pearl to
produce pearl dogs. Pearl is a combination of chocolate and blue.
