Detailed theoretical written list of genes Theoretical Dog Genetics When 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

This litter is approximately 2-3 weeks old. We only have them for a little while, until they are old enough to go to a foster family.

I may not have gotten everything right. If you spot any mess-ups let me know so I can edit it. Colors can be hard to guess in young puppies, and can change appearance as they develop. I did not include anything on white markings since that is still largely unknown in most breeds.
