The breeds are seperated by variety in this country. In other words- a colored bull terrier could produce white bull terriers. A ASCOB ( any other color other than black) could produce a black cocker. etc. The Irish setter in this country has long been established as only red- however in other countries they accept the red and white variety. The Belgiums as a groups do have seperate breeds in other countries but seperated only by coat types or colors. However for generations they were not seperated so it is feasable and happens a Belgium ( the black ones here in the US ) can produce a Terv ( the sable variety type) in a litter- and seperated so. My first belgium Chancey had a Terv litter mate.. And registered as such as the AKC recognizes the coat color ( black or sable) or type ( malinois) can be produced from each other. Its rare- but it happens.
