Description
While I'm working on my North Atlantic Spitz group, I'm putting together color and pattern guides that will not only work for my Spitz, but also for any other realistic dog breed.Hopefully this will be helpful to people. I tried to make it as simple and as clear as possible, but eh. ^^
Let me know if there are any typos, wrong information, or unclear information, and I'll do my best to fix it and/or explain it.
If you have any suggestions for future guides, let me know! I already plan on doing one about patterns (agouti series, brindle, merle, etc.), body types (ears, tails), and then some small things (nose color / type, eye color, etc.), but if you have anything specific that you want answered or think needs to be addressed, let me know!
Disclaimer: I am, by no means, saying that any of the following information is 100% correct, is worded the best way, or is the absolute best portrayal of the colors. This is an accumulation of what I know about genetics and what I have seen based on photos over the years.
Part I: Red and Black Hairs
Part II: Agouti, Extension, and Black
Part III: Merle and Merle Modifiers
Part IV: White Spotting, Ticking, and Roan

Hi! I love his drawings and works. They are wonderful. I would like to get in touch with you. Well, I 'm investigating the appearance of blue eyes in dogs. And I like his drawings and research. It is not easy to find information . If you can , write me to lunalubna@hotmail.com Thank you.

There's actually a few genetics pages that you can check. Blue eyes is a recessive trait in itself even though homozygous recessive individuals may not always express blue eyes, but extreme white piebald can sometimes trigger it, as well as merle more frequently. Blue eye derivatives (ie. split/marble eye and wall eye) can also occur, but I'm unsure of the exact genetics on that.

Your pretty good at genetics, I'm not so good at it. Could you help me with trying to get the genetic code for my dogs...or at least teach me how to read these?

I can do my best, sure. ^^ This site is also a good place to start to start learning about genetics, too. [link]
