 Silver and White
(ABCdEGmrsi/spt)
This color has the same formula as the Silver dog with the exception of
carrying a different gene that produces varying amounts of white. If your
dog is Silver and White 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.
This color only needs one graying gene (G) in order to re-produce itself
along with a double dose of the blue (d) gene. This (d) gene makes
it recessive in nature. If the double dilute (dd) is not present this dog
would be Kerry Blue in color.
If you breed a Silver dog to a dog that is blue you will also get the
Silver color because a blue dog carries a double dose of (d) blue gene
and the (G) gene can be present in a single dose. The pups are born gray/blue
and progressively turn Silver as they mature.
