French Bulldog Dna Colour Chart
French bulldog color genetics.
French bulldog dna colour chart. A french bulldog is often times looked at as just a visual color but a lot of research has been done involving what color dna a bulldog actually is to determine what colors you can get from a pairing. This is a calculator for simple calculation of genetic code of female against genetic code of male. Eumelanin black and phaeomelanin red or yellow. B locus black brown the black b allele is dominant to the brown b s b d b c alleles in this gene are 3 common mutations b s b d b c which result in brown instead of black eumelanin production in some breeds additional mutations not identified may affect eumelanin production.
The little d s are each its own allele and the parenthesis that that hold both allele together is the locus. This chart assumes the dog is n n for the k locus. You can look at it like this a locus and its alleles for a blue dog looks like this d d. Please note if 1 gene is not selected the program will calculate it as a possible carrier.
This is the case in all the rare colors. The fawn color has a wide range from dark to light. Adding in one or more copies of the kb allele will modify the pigment that is being produced. Below you will find a break down of those colors and their corresponding letter codes.
This dna calculator was created to combine breeders all over the world and make the search for the perfect puppies much easier. Colours which dogs carry are often hidden but become apparent in their offspring. A real fawn color has a slight red cast to it. One of the genes involved in the production of these pigments in many species including dogs is melanocortin 1 receptor mc1r which is also known as the extension locus.
Please choose genetic code of male. The compartments or locus. Makes since when you think about it. The lettering that you often see when someone s trying to portray their specific dogs color dna in letters is the locus and allele.
Canine color charts a locus fawn sable black and tan tricolor recessive black this chart explains what a dog s phenotype will be based on his genotype. Calculate the dna of your future pups. Canine coat color and type background mammals have two pigments that are the basis of hair color. Some people mistake fawn for french bulldog colors tan brown beige or crème.
The coat colour genes in the french bulldog panel are e a d k s there are a number of genes which interact to dictate the coat colour of a dog the genes tested in this panel are the main ones which dictate the coat colour in french bulldogs. There are 3 dilution genes at work in a lilac merle dog. It is in identifying these hidden genes that genetic testing. Please free to start testing.
Some of these colors will blend in with the diluted color so much that dna color testing may need to be done to be sure of the true color. This calculator also will help to educate new breeders how to work with dna. Chances to get specific phenotype in puppies. Welcome to the first dna calculator that is combined with actual dogs and filters.
