Angel’s Coat Color
Red Intensity
Alternative Names: White, Cream, Dilution, Chinchilla, English Cream
The Red Intensity variant causes a decrease in red (phaeomelanin) pigment concentration in the coat. Phaeomelanin is the pigment responsible for red, yellow, and pale cream coat colors. The Red Intensity variant is found in the MFSD12 gene (also known as I or Intensity locus).
Did you know?
Many breeds that appear white are actually recessive red dogs with the Intensity variant, which is why their eye, nail, and nose pigment remains dark. Examples include Samoyeds, Poodles, and White Swiss Shepherds. Similar variants in the _MFSD12 _gene are also responsible for lighter hair and skin pigmentation in mice, humans, and other mammalian species. In ponies, this variant causes a coat color called "mushroom."
How it works
Dogs with two copies of the Red Intensity variant are more likely to show yellow, cream or white coat shades instead of deeper red shades. If the dog does not display solid red or red coat patterns, there will be no visible effect. Other genes, notably variants in the KITLG gene, are also thought to contribute to red pigment intensity variation, so some dogs may have yellow or buff colored coats.
Chocolate (Variant 1)
Alternative Names: Brown, Liver, Chestnut, RedChocolate (Variant 1), also known as bc, causes all dark hair, eye rims, nose and paw pads on the dog to be brown or chocolate instead of black. This variant is found in the TYRP1 gene (known as the B locus).
Chocolate (Variant 1) is common in:
Did you know?Chocolate dogs are unable to produce black pigment, so even their freckles are chocolate, and their eye color is usually gold or amber.
How it works
To show chocolate coloration, a dog must inherit two copies of the chocolate variants, one from each parent. This can either be two copies of a particular variant, such as this one (Chocolate Variant 1) or two of any combination of chocolate variants. The chocolate variants are located in the TYRP1 gene.Tan Points
Alternative Names: Tan points, Phantom, Tri-color (when occurring with white)
The Tan Points variant is responsible for a distinct symmetrical pattern of tan and dark pigment, with tan markings on the eyebrow, cheeks, chest and lower legs. This variant is also required for a saddle tan pattern to occur.
Did you know? This pattern causes tan points over the eyebrows, which are sometimes called "pips." How it works Two copies, or occasionally one copy, of this variant may result in a black and tan coat color pattern. Widow's Peak (Discovered in Ancient dogs) Alternative Names: Domino, Grizzle, Pied, Ancient Red, eA The Widow's peak variant (also known as Ancient Red) causes an increase in the ratio of red (phaeomelanin) to dark pigment (eumelanin) in the coat when expressed. The variant is also known as the eA variant and is found in the MC1R gene (known as the E locus). Did you know? The Ancient Red variant is as rare as it is old. Researchers have discovered the variant to be present in the DNA samples of prehistoric Siberian and South-Eastern European dog remains dated to be over 10,000 years old. It is thought that it may be one of the earliest dog-specific coat colors humans selected for during dog domestication. Less than 2% of dogs tested carry this variant. How it works To see the effect of the Ancient Red variant, a dog must inherit two copies of the eA variant, one from each parent, or one copy of the eA variant and one copy of any of the recessive red (e1-3) variants. Interactions of Ancient Red with other variants is complex. The characteristic coat color patterning associate with Ancient Red variant are possible to see on genetically agouti, tan pointed or fawn dogs (that are dark shaded), this pattern results in receding of dark pigment on the undersides, the legs and on the face where the contrast of dark hear on the top of head gives an impression of a widow's peak. This particular pattern is called "domino" or "grizzle" depending on the breed. It is also common that the dog has white markings on the centerline of the face along with reduced pigment up the centerline of their nose that may be referred as a "dudley nose" or a "snow nose". When dominant black or brindle are present and Ancient Red is inherited, alone or in combination with other recessive red variants, it instead mimics the color patterning of the A locus, such as fawn, agouti, or tan point. Moreover, genetically recessive black dog will resemble dark agouti Saddle Tan Alternative Names: Creeping tan, Black and tan The Saddle Tan variant is responsible for a red color pattern with a dark-haired saddle over the back. The variant is located in the RALY gene.Did you know? Saddle Tan puppies are born showing the Tan Point pattern, but with age, the red or tan areas of the coat expand, until a saddle is seen at maturity, earning it the alternative name of "creeping tan." How it works One or two copies of the Saddle Tan variant are needed for the "saddle" to be seen. However the Tan Points variant must also be present. The Saddle Tan variant is actually considered to be the wild type, or default, variant.
Piebald Alternative Names: Parti color, White trim, Irish trim, Splash, Mantle, Extreme white The Piebald variant causes white spotting, patches and/ or a completely white coat. It can also cause blue eyes, pink or "butterfly" nose, pink eye rims, white toenails and pink paw pads. The Piebald variant, also known as "sp" (for spotting), is found in the MITF gene (known as the S locus). Did you know? Dalmatians are actually colored dogs with lots of white spots, not the other way around! In fact, they are considered to be ticked dogs, and all ticked and roan dogs are born white and develop their spots as they mature. How it works Dog with copies of the Piebald variant are likely to show white spotting, patches and/or a white coat, with two copies having a greater effect than one, although the strength of this effect may be influenced by other genes. Health implications White spotting is not a color, but a lack of pigment. Pigment is necessary for normal vision and hearing development, so if white spotting covers the area of the ear, the dog may be deaf in that ear. Dogs at greatest risk are those with very few colored spots. This risk does not apply to dogs whose white color is due to the recessive red gene, such as Poodles.
