Description
mentioned being interested in American Akita/Japanese Akita mixes, so I put together one possible scenario for appearances in litters. Based on the genetics outline I wrote, though I have even more rules in my head that I didn’t bother to write down on how genetics could affect appearance Theoretical Dog GeneticsWhen I was a kid I can remember being confused by the logic of dog genetics presented in cartoons. When two different looking dogs had puppies, the boy puppies looked like the dad and the girl puppies looked like the mom. I can only guess that this lack of originality was an attempt to cash in on the new character's resemblance to an older character that had already won people over, but where's the fun in that? Being the animal nerd that I am, I resolved to give myself a way to design a realistic yet varied guide to prevent such blandness. This is meant to accompany the visual guides I have already created, as a way to give a character a theo I couldn’t find any examples of actual mixes, so I have to guess based on phenotypes I see in both breeds. If anyone is curious to see a breeding scenario illustrated feel free to suggest it with descriptions or photos. I may not have a good line art for whatever breeds they are, but I’ll see what I can do.
