I know that Chocolate is recessive...do you know what colors the chocolate dog's parents were? I believe that Buff is also recessive (based on what I'm seeing here: Given the fact that both dogs are recessive colors, and non-spotting is a dominant gene, I doubt they would produce any parti-colors. But...again...it depends on the colors in their pedigree. Have you asked the breeder? They should know their pedigrees well enough to answer. If they don't, you don't want to buy from them. Cockers are prone to eye problems, as well - be sure this breeder has conducted CERF exams on both dogs. More information on responsible breeding: Depends on the colors behind them.

I had some buff and some black but never a tri colored one. So I would say no. There is some AKC breeders around that breed tri colored cocker spanials.
