 A Tan Apricot and
White: carries the Gene Formula (ayBCdEgmrsi/spt). It will re-produce
itself Only when bred to a dog that is the same color or to one that carries
the blue (d) gene and the tan (ay) gene. This color is the same formula
as Tan Apricot with the exception of carrying
a different gene that produces varying amounts of white. If your dog is
Tan Apricot 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.
The presence of the (d) gene is what dilutes the tan down to a color
that is apricot in appearance. It is sometimes confused with the color
Apricot or Chocolate Apricot in various breeds but differs in formula and
will not produce a true Apricot. The dogs can range in color from a light
tan to a soft apricot.
