Thank you for the repy. I understand the carrying aspect and it's result. I should have been more specific. If you have a sable that does not carry albino, all...
... A dilute color eg black to brown would be caused by a separate recessive gene. As each animal can only have two copies of its genes the the possible colors...

I think that what the poster is asking is if the route or routes to what are called dilutes is known. Is it a simple blending (not a clean Dominant vs....
Normally, yes. I am curious because from some of the previous posts I have been reading over the past couple days (which some admittedly date back to 2000)...

Well, remember, that the genes themselves do not get diluted. If that mating is how to get champagne then what it means is that NEITHER the albino NOR the...

Let me say this a different way which may get it across. If there is a "dilution gene" in your example then you are speaking of an outside locus (location)...
Ah, I see your point, Tony: that the albinism involved could be a melanin suppressor with an epigenetic effect that is at a second locus rather than the...
... No, what I am saying is that unless both the chocolate and (of course) the albino both carry the albino gene then the albino gene is having no effect at...
I understand co-dominance. The example I provided with extreme dilute occurs both in hamsters and mice. It's the name of the gene in both mice and hamsters as,...

I may not have been very good at explaining myself. I really wanted to just get confirmation of the matings before I went into any kind of postulation, so it...
I can see where you are going with this. In horses, if you breed a double dilute (i.e. albino, perlino, cremello) to any normally colored horse, you will...
