The C series (called chinchilla)
The genes found in this locas (location) are
basically color lightening modifiers.
This gene does not effect Black colored dogs
but effects all other colors. What you normally see that you can easily
identify, as part of this group of genes, is buff, that varies from near
red to golden to buff to silver.
There are at least three genes in this locus
(location). They seem to work together.Hence the variability of buffs. |
They are :
C - non lightening dominant.
ch - (recessive to C but dominant to xch) this
gene is responsible for what we normally think of as buff.
xch - extreme chinchilla, recessive to C and ch,
known as silver
