It's sex-influenced.  In females, the trait is co-dominant because the heterozygote is purple, but in males the trait is dominant with red being the dominant color.  The only "animal" with an odd phenotype is the one purple male because there is no way, based on the rest of the pedigree that a male should be purple.  Hope that helps.
