 A Pepper Dog carries
the Gene Formula (atBCDEGmrSt). This color is dominant in nature and will
re-produce itself when bred to a dog that is the same color or to one that
carries the Graying (G) gene provided the (at allele) remains the same.
Only one (G) gene needs to be present to produce the color. The color appears
typically like salt and pepper and a pup is born dark turning Pepper as
it matures. The base color of the dog is black and tan.
If the (at) black and tan gene is changed to an (ay) tan or (ayat)
sable gene with the rest of the alleles remaining the same the dog will
be Mustard. If the (at) black and tan
gene is changed to an (A) black gene with the rest of the alleles remaining
the same the dog will be Kerry Blue.
If the (at) black and tan gene is changed to an (as) black saddle gene
with the rest of the alleles remaining the same the dog will be Yorkie
Blue. If this dog also has white on the coat it means that the (S)
gene would be replaced with one of these White producing gene patterns,
(si, or sp) in any combination. For more info see White
Chart.
