Abstract: | The several colours and coats of the Belgian Shepherd dog are shown to be due primary to combinations of the following genes: dominant black (A
s
), dominant yellow (A
y
), chinchilla (ch), long hair (l) and wire hair (Wh). The gene for black and tan (a
t
) is or has been present in the breed. All of the dominant yellow dogs exhibit a black facial mask and extensive suffusion of black guard hairs on the body. |
