 A Red Tan Dog carries
the Gene Formula (ayBCDEgmrSt). This color is dominant in nature in double
dose to the colors Black and Tan, and Sable but recessive to Black. In
order to produce a true Red Tan dog it must be bred to a dog of the same
color or a Sable dog which carries the (ay) gene. It appears as a rich
Reddish Tan color and can vary in shade from light to dark. It is uniform
in color throughout the dogs coat and always has a black nose. This color
is exactly the same in formula to a Tan dog but appears much redder in
color as opposed to Tan. Breed specific genes and modifiers play a significant
role in this color. This color is commonly seen in breeds like the Basenji,
Mastiff and Beagle.
