  • French Bulldog Coat Colour Genetics - Feb 2008
    FRENCH BULLDOG COAT COLOUR GENETICS - FEB 2008 by Dr Karen Hedberg BVSc This is a very interesting field that is undergoing some changes as the actual genes that affect colour are beginning to be located on the chromosomes. DNA specific tests can now be carried out for the presence of most of the colour alleles, particularly where one wants to know if there are unwanted dilution factors hiding within individuals. While it can look very complicated, try to understand the subject and thus produce the colours you want from matings, and not waste litters with incorrect colours. Knowledge of your proposed breeding pairs‟ colour genetics can help maximise desired colour combinations. General information Melanocytes are the cells that produce skin and hair colour and they are derived from neural crest cells. These cells arise along the back very early in foetal development and then give rise to a number of cell types, including a large proportion of the peripheral nervous system. If there is a decrease in the number of neural crest cells, other cell types are favored, leading to a reduction in melanocyte formation (see below). The melanoblasts (immature colour cells) migrate from the dorsal midline over the surface of the body, so the last areas to be reached are the feet, chest and muzzle (ie where you are more likely to see white toes, etc). Neural crest cells also form part of the nervous system for the inner ear and eye. Animals selected for extreme white spotting (eg. Dalmatians) can have hearing and/or vision problems in other extreme white patterns (merle series).

  • Dachshund Coat Colours and Their Inheritance
    02/04/2017 Dachshund Coat Colours and their inheritance Helen Geeson BSc(hons) PGCE Background 2 sizes (3 in FCI countries) 3 coat types 3 base colours 3 modifiers 4 patterns = 216 different combinations!! 1 02/04/2017 Coat colour Coat colour in Dachshunds is controlled by at least 7 different genes, each of which can exist in more than one version (allele). The way they interact gives us the unique colours we see in our dogs. Understanding these genes and how they work together gives us the potential to predict (in most cases) the colour of puppies in any litters we breed and ensure that we don’t produce any of the colour linked health problems. Base colours - red 2 02/04/2017 Base colours – black Base colours - Chocolate 3 02/04/2017 Modifiers - Cream Cream is a separate gene (the “intensity” gene), it is a recessive gene so can be passed on even if the parents don’t show it. To be cream or have cream markings (rather than tan markings) then the dog has to have 2 copies of the cream gene, 1 from each parent. A cream dog (or one with cream markings) will still be one of the base colours, but the cream gene dilutes the pheomelanin areas (areas that have red/tan hairs). So a genetically red dog will become cream and a black and tan dog will become black and cream. 4 02/04/2017 Modifiers – Recessive (ee) red Occasionally a clear red or cream puppy will occur in a litter where traditionally breeders would have thought it impossible.

  • Substantial Effect of Melanin Influencing Factors on in Vitro Melanogenesis in Muzzle Melanocytes of Differently Colored Hanwoo
    1029 Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. Vol. 25, No. 7 : 1029 - 1037 July 2012 www.ajas.info http://dx.doi.org/10.5713/ajas.2011.11287 Substantial Effect of Melanin Influencing Factors on In vitro Melanogenesis in Muzzle Melanocytes of Differently Colored Hanwoo Touseef Amna, Kyoung Mi Park, In-Kyung Cho1, Tae Jeong Choi2, Seung Soo Lee2, Kang-Seok Seo3 and Inho Hwang* Department of Animal Science and Institute of Rare Earth for Biological Application, Chonbuk National University, Jeonju, 561-756, Korea ABSTRACT: The present study was designed to investigate the effect of -melanocyte-stimulating hormone (-MSH), nitric oxide (NO) and L-cysteine on melanin production and expression of related genes MC1R, Tyr, Tyrp-1 and Tyrp-2 in muzzle melanocytes of differently colored three native Hanwoo cattle. Muzzle samples were taken from black, brindle and brown Hanwoo and purified melanocytes were cultured with -MSH, nitric oxide and L-cysteine at 100 nM, 50 M and 0.07 mg/ml of media respectively. The amounts of total melanin, eumelanin and mRNA expression at Tyr, Tyrp-1, Tyrp-2 and MC1R levels were quantified. -MSH and nitric oxide significantly increased (p<0.05) the amount of total melanin in black and brindle whereas eumelanin production in brown Hanwoo muzzle melanocytes. On the contrary, L-cysteine greatly (p<0.05) depressed the eumelanin production in black color but increased in brown. Simultaneously, up regulation of Tyr by nitric oxide and -MSH and down regulation of Tyr, Tyrp-2 and MC1R genes by L-cysteine were observed in muzzle melanocytes of all three phenotypes.

  • The Genetics of Dachshund Coat and Colour
    The Genetics of Dachshund Coats and Colours Helen Geeson BSc PGCE Background • Dogs have 39 pairs of Chromosomes (one from each parent). • Chromosomes are long chains of genes which are the coded instructions for all characteristics, therefore Genes come in pairs too – 1 from each parent. • Genes control coat colour and coat type. • Different combinations of these genes gives rise to the multitude of coat types and colours seen in Dachshund today. Coat Type in Dachshunds • 3 coat types – Wire, Smooth and Long. • Dogs in the UK normally have 2 copies of their own coat type gene (WW, SS or LL) because we do not as a rule currently perform cross- coat matings. However these were allowed until 1977 and there are still wires and smooths that “carry” the genes for different coat types. • Imported dogs from countries where cross coat matings are more common may have combinations of the coat type genes. • Wire is dominant to all other coat types, if a dog has even just one W gene it will be a Wire, if it has one of the other coat type genes it can pass that gene on to its progeny and produce “recessive Smooths” or “recessive Longs”. • Smooth is dominant to Longs, if a dog has one S and one L gene it will be a Smooth, but it carries the Long gene and therefore can pass it on to its progeny and produce “recessive Longs”. • Long is recessive to both Wire and Smooth, therefore if the dog has a Longhaired Coat it has to have 2 copies of the Long Haired gene (LL); two Longhaired parents can only produce Longhaired puppies.

  • The Colors of the Sheltie: the New DNA Findings
    The Colors of the Sheltie: The New DNA Findings By Alicia M. Keegan, DVM ! A series (Agouti) ! C series (Chinchilla, Albino) ! M Series (Merle) ! E series (Extension) ! S series (Spotting and White Markings) ! G series (Progressive Graying) ! D series (Gray Dilution, Blue Dilution) ! H series (Harlequin) ! T series (Ticking) ! K series (Dominant Black, Brindle, Tan) ! B series (Brown/Liver/Chocolate) ! Suspected Color Genes In the Sheltie Knowledge of canine color genetics has come a long way since Clarence Little first published “The Inheritance of Coat Color in Dogs” in 1957. In the past few years, color inheritance has been studied in many species at the DNA level, and the specific genes involved have been identified. Many of Little’s theories of color inheritance have been confirmed, a few have been discredited, and some problem colors that didn’t fit known inheritance patterns have been explained. This page does not describe how to figure expected colors for any given litter. Numerous other sources do that very well. This article does relate breeders’ practical knowledge of Sheltie color inheritance to the recent findings about the DNA changes that lead to these colors. Because science is a process, and color genetics is work in progress, future research may well modify some of what now appears to be fact. The Language of Color Inheritance: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid is the basis of inheritance. It is a chemical composed of double chains of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of deoxyribose (a sugar), phosphate (phosphoric acid) and one of four nitrogen-containing bases. A set of three bases codes for a particular amino acid.
