Breeding on Locus d
To breed on Locus d is not that hard if you just follow the results.
In the breed Chodsky pes we dont want d/d (blue) dogs, we want D/D (black) dogs.
So if your dog is d/D (carrier) please mate whit a dog tested whit the result D/D, then non puppie will be d/d (blue).
Results again:
D/D:
Non-diluteThe dog carries two copies of the dominant "D" allele. The dog will express a normal, non-dilute coat color and will always pass on a copy of the "D" allele to all offspring.
D/d:
Carrier of diluteBoth the dominant and recessive alleles detected. The dog will have a normal, non-dilute coat and is a carrier of the dilute coat color. The dog can pass either allele on to any offspring.
d/d:
DiluteThe dog has two copies of the recessive "d" allele and will have a dilute colored coat. He will always pass on a copy of the dilute allele on to any offspring.
