Dean accualy nailed it with that comment.
and its true the "liver" tick can be a throwback to the days when English, walker, and bluetick were all the same breed......or a more recent addition as well, I suspect the bird dog theory accualy is prob spot on too.
this same gene accualy shows up in a lot of breeds. almost all who have the "ticking' gene (mottled) and a few others.
bearded collies, several bird dog breeds,........its a long list..
always tied to "red" and usualy (but not always) to the ticking (mottled) gene.
usualy the nose and nails are red instead of black too.
