 A Tan Dog carries
the Gene Formula (ayBCDEgmrSt). This color is dominant in double dose to
the colors Black and Tan, and Sable but recessive to Black. In order to
produce a true 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 Tan color
and can vary in shade from light tan to dark rich shade. 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 Red Tan dog but appears very Tan
in color as opposed to rich Reddish Tan. This is due to the modifying genes
that a dog carries and is usually breed specific.
