C128-Canine Coat and Nose Color Test
Whippet |
 |
| DNA TEST |
Presence of black mask, even on black dogs or dogs with white markings occurring on the muzzle, and prediction of the chance this will occur in pups. At present, the coat colors black, fawn, Isabella, and brindle can not be distinguished by DNA testing.
Black mask is inherited as a dominant trait. It is not evident on black dogs or dogs with white markings on the muzzle, but they may carry this trait too. In dogs that have dilute colors, such as grey or grey brindle, the mask will be grey and difficult to detect. |
