Get a professional and reputable breeder mentor and ask them. And reconsider breeding them. Anyone whose source of information on breeding and genetics is Yahoo! Answers shouldn't be breeding. With 750,000 to 2.5 million of these dogs put down each year in shelters, non-experienced breeders should not be breeding them.

With a breed as subject to bad placements as a pit bull I wouldn't consider any breeding without being part of a breed club network, think of the legal liability questions that could arise (shudder!)
Now for the QUESTION:
I have two whippets on my sofa that are the product of two different red/blue matings - both are BLACK. If pit bull color genetics are the same as whippet/greyhound colors (and I think they are), then if there is no blue in the red dogs background the litter will be all black or red pups- if the blue dog is the product of a blue/blue or blue/black mating the litter may be ALL black pups- if there is a brindle ancestor behind the blue (no matter how far back) there could be, but not nessarly will be, only black and BRINDLE pups (it doesn't matter if the red has a brindle ancestor). If the red has a blue ancestor there could be black. blue & red(or brindle) pups. It is not possible to get both red & brindle pups from this mating but to know if they would be red OR brindle or if there could be blues takes data we dont have here.
Now LeslieG thank the gods your fawn/fawn mating which produced brindle pups is not whippet or greys - you would have trouble as a fawn to fawn mating cannot produce brindle in those breeds so the parentage is suspect.... strange the website I found seems to indicate mastiff color genetis are the same, I hope Im wrong.......

Why oh why would you breed? Especially Pits? I love Pit Bulls, but why would contribute to the over population of them. On average only 1 out of 9 Pits live out there natural life. Only 1! Pit Bulls generally have litters ranging from 5-10. By breeding you have signed many death warrants. And it doesn't really matter if you find good homes for them because a Pit Bull generally gets passed from owner to owner to owner. Over 1 million Pits are euthanized in shelters every year! Pit Bulls are the #1 abused dog in America. Why contribute to this? Money? I sure hope not. If you are doing this for money then you do not care about the animals... sorry but its true because if you really care about Pits then you would know that they do not need to be bred and that they are over bred by back yard breeders who are out to make a buck! These backyard breeders are totally ruining and distorting what the breed standard is because they are not educated (or because they do not care) and if you simply bred these two dogs because of what they look like then that is horribly irresponsible. A good breeder breeds based on temperament and looks second... not the other way around.
PLEASE DO NOT BREED THESE ANIMALS!!!!

Mixing coat colors does not make it a mixed breed dog. You will probably get some of both or you may get all one color. I breed english mastiffs. I just had a litter of pups recently the mother was brindle and the father was fawn. All of the pups came out fawn. But I have bred two fawns before and got several brindles. You never know. If both the male and the female are purebred than the pups will be too. Mixing coat colors has nothing to do with a dog being purebred.

Some will look like the red pitbull and some would look like the blue pitbull. Since they are a mix breed you really can't say that you are having one or the other.

You can get any combination of color. Not just dependent on the two dogs but their parents also. My blue pit's parents are both brindles and she was the only blue one. I also have a red nose but he's parents are also both red nose.

please do not breed your dog. there are THOUSANDS of pit bulls in the shelters waiting for homes....
first things first, blue nose and red nose are not bloodlines. puppies in the litter will all look different, some blue, some red.
in order to breed responsibly there are lots of things involved...
first: your dog should be pure bred and papered, with a pedigree. it is also in your favor if they have won any titles, etc...
then there are a series of health tests that you need to have done on your dog to make sure that they are healthy enough to breed and have a litter of puppies...
etc etc etc.
please dont breed your dog. please.

i know this isn't the answer u want but PLEASE DONT DO IT! I'm guessing Ur not a registered breeder cos Ur asking this question, it isn't fair on the dogs involved. i just learned this the hard way. my ***** just recently went into premature labour and had to get an emergency c-section all 7 puppies died and due to complications my ***** is at the vets fighting for her life. i did nothing wrong during her pregnancy she had a medical test and treatment a dog requires while pregnant but still this happened. yes this could happen to a registered breeder and theres no saying it will happen to Ur dog but it could, so wouldn't it better to not risk Ur dog unneccarilly?
sorry if this offendes but think of ur dogs.
