More experimenting with application of my theoretical dog genetics research using pre-made line arts. Black modifier series. 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?

The german shepherd dog would have a fawn, saddle, mask, medium coat, prick ears and straight tail.
And the Border collie would have Black and white medium coat, drop ears, blue eyes and straight tail.
Would be possible the puppy have heterochromia?

Maybe, though I think heterochromia is most often seen in merle dogs.

No. It is the name of a gene which causes a pattern, and also the locus that gene is found on.
