Geneticists & Breeders have long been aware of
several locations of chromosomes (loci), which
are responsible for the color patterns we see in
dogs.
Esch locus has 2 sides.
Every puppy inherits one copy of each locus from
Mom & one of each from Dad. This is true of ALL
genetic traits.
Each of these loci is responsible for one or
more traits, either independently, or in
conjunction with another locus.
The simple rendition below can be applied to any
single loci, such as the B loci. |

The simple rendition below is applied to 2
single loci, D & B. You can see how complicated
these scenarios can be. Imagine you are dealing
with 3, 4, or more! |

| This ends our Color basics lessons. To go
further would require a complete site dealing
with this topic only. We here at Rare Bulldogs,
hope that this has helped you to get a
foundation start to learning about Color DNA.
Please visit our other Color DNA Pages, as we
have a wealth of information htere on each
color. The links are at the top of this page. We
recomend that you do further research on DNA
Educational sites, shoud you need to go further
in your knowledge. |
