CANINE COAT AND NOSE COLOR TEST
English Setter

CODE: C128

DNA TEST:
Presence of black or black tricolor, liver or liver tricolor and lemon colors, and black or brown nose.

BREED STANDARDS FOR COAT & NOSE COLORS:
English Setters occur in several colors: black, brown, red, lemon and occasionally sable, all with white. English Setters can also be “and-tan” and such dogs are usually called tricolor. Several genes and the interaction thereof contribute to these colors.

The modifier genes causing the amount of dark patches is not known. All English Setters are ticked, although this pattern is called belton sometimes.

One gene that is necessary for black or brown coat color is K, and the allele responsible is K^B. ES that are tricolor or sable do not have a K^B, but are k^y/k^y. English Setters that are red or lemon could be any genotype at the K locus since they are e/e and this masks the effects of K.

Tricolor dogs must have an a^t/a^t genotype at the agouti locus. Sable dogs have at least one ay allele. If desired, testing for the sable allele is available at an extra charge.
