C128-Canine Coat and Nose Color Test
Pug |
 |
| DNA TEST |
Pug occur in two basic colors: black and fawn. The gene that controls this difference is K. All Pugs have masks, even though they cannot be seen on the black dogs. Therefore all are EMEM genotype. At the agouti locus, all Pugs are ayay genotype. All Pugs have black nose leather and pads and are BB.
Acknowledgment
The K gene has been identified in a collaborative research effort headed by Greg Barsh with input by Sheila Schmutz and others. |
