Three series of ferromagnetic alloys have been made: Co{sub 100{minus}{ital x}}Pd{sub {ital x}}, Co{sub 25}Ni{sub 75{minus}{ital y}}Pd{sub {ital y}} and Co{sub 5{minus}{ital z}}Ni{sub {ital z}}Pd{sub 95}. The electrical resistivity {rho} of these alloys was measured from 4 to 300 K. Their high field ({ital H}{gt}2 T) susceptibility {chi}{sub HF} was obtained with superconducting quantum interference device measurements at 5 K. Comparing the residual resistivity {rho}{sub 0} of Co-Ni and Co-Pd, it is found that the spin-up resistivity {rho}{sub {up arrow}} of Co-Ni follows the Nordheim's rule, while that of Co-Pd peaks at {ital x}=85. This indicates the spin-up {ital d} band of Co-Pd is not full for all the {ital x} values. Also, {chi}{sub HF} data reveal the same tendency of the spin-up band. Based on the deviation from Matthiessen's rule of the two-current model, we estimate {alpha}={rho}{sub 0{down arrow}} /{rho}{sub 0{up arrow}}{congruent}2 for the dilute {ital PdCo} alloy, where {rho}{sub 0}={rho}{sub 0{down arrow}} {rho}{sub 0{up arrow}}/({rho}{sub 0{up arrow}}+{rho}{sub 0{down arrow}} ), from the residual resistivity of the ternary Co{sub 5{minus}{ital z}}Ni{sub {ital z}}Pd{sub 95} alloy and from the temperature dependence of {rho}({ital T}) of the binary Co{sub 5}Pd{sub 95} alloy
