CODE: C128
DNA TEST:
Doberman Pinschers are all E/E at the MC1R locus and atat at the ASIP gene.
They vary at the B locus or TYRP1 gene, however. Although, dogs of b/b genotype are called chocolate or brown in many other breeds, these dogs are called red in Doberman Pinschers.
The D locus of MPH gene controls whether Doberman Pinschers are dark or dilute in coloration. Dogs with d/d genotype are dilute. If they have a B allele, their black is diluted to blue. If they have a b/b genotype, their reddish brown is diluted to a color called Isabella or fawn in this breed. Their tan undersides are also diluted subtly if their genotype is d/d.
Some Doberman Pinschers are also very pale cream or white. The gene causing this color has not yet been identified.
