colour coat testing
« on: August 10, 2011, 08:03:33 PM »
Can someone  please tell me if I had my black bitch colour coat tested what would it tell me ? I know that sounds stupid and I know black is her dormant colour, would it tell me what other colour she carries, I have tried to read up on it but end up getting more confused :huh: any advice would be most helpful

You need to test for a specific colour, they can't just tell you all the colours they carry.  When we had Dylan tested, we were checking to see if he carried the B-Locus....the brown coat colour.

Dylan does have Liver roan in his pedigree going back, so just wanted to see if he carried it, but he didn't, which is fine, just nice to know.

My Inca, his mum I didn't know she carried the & tan gene until the litter with Dylan was born and we had 3 of them, along with blue roan and orange roan.
