CODE: C128
DNA TEST:
Presence of black mask, even on black dogs or dogs with white markings occuring 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.
BREED STANDARDS FOR COAT AND NOSE COLORS:
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.
