The D gene (dilute)- This
gene is what is responsible for blue cockers. It will, also,
dilute all other colors but is usually only
noticed on a black dog as it is the only
gene that can lighten black. It seems to
be very rare in cockers. |
The gene sequence is:
D - non dilute (does nothing: dominant to d
d- recessive to D (in homozygous condition, it
will dilute all colors
