Whilst its not impossible you have some chocolates in there I would think chances are you DON'T because of this colour set up of the parents.... it would have to be quite complicated and reasonably flukey to end up with chocs in this litter and no yellows, SO I feel you have all cblacks there meaning that although you used a yellow on your girl, she doesn't carry the gene therefore hasn't produced it and you have an all black litter. very common.

my suspect browns do have a slight brown to their coats but not as brown as the two girls which are clearly brown, i have 3 certain blacks as they are black black with black nails and pads but the others i just can not be sure.

Janet definitely says two brown bitches, Di.....
I suppose both Dam and Sire must have carried chocolate then.
Janet....We REALLY need to see some piccies.
If you want you can e-mail them to me and I'll post them on here, if you can't work out how to do it.
Ok right I didn't read it properly. Yes its perfectly POSSIBLE for your black and yellow to produce chocolate if they BOTH carry it its just not the most common genetic set up in thw eorld, and the fact you were QUESTIONING if they were black or chocolate, and you had doubts, I rather thought chances are they weren't.
Didn't read you definately have two chocolates there.
Quite frankly I am baffled how you can't tell. A puppy, once dried is clearly chocolate or black. there are little half measures especially if you have other chocolates to compare to there.
Its perfectly possible too for a chocolate to have white nails and pads in the first few days. Indeed many do when born, as do blacks and yellows and the pigment seems to kick in later.
Your pigmentation in this litter will be rather shot to blazes on some pups because of the genetic colour set up, potentially, so you may have pink noses and pink eye rims and brown noses and brown eye rims and all sorts Its a bit of an idea next time to have a good forward plan for the colours you wish to produce and pick the best dog avaliable to produce those to leave you few grey areas.
As for this time, undercoat on a black should be a greyish, sometimes brownish colour. Therefore, as alleycat says, when in the sun, when you can SEE undercoat showing through, many or most blacks show a brown tinge. This has nothing to do with being or carrying chocolate or having chocolate behind them, it is simply just a correct black undercoat showing through, especially when the dog is moulting and you can see its 'bra and knickers'.
