You're quite right that all children of this match will be running and black. The reason for this is that each child only needs one copy of the dominant gene (an R or B) to express the dominant phenotype, and since one parent is heterozygous-dominant and the other is zygous-dominant every child will always get one dominant gene. The _difference_ is that some children will get only one copy, and thus in the future may match with a zygous-recessive organism and produce recessive children.
