Siamese and hairless litters not reported,
because can't see markings clearly |

Some markings show similar trends and likely
share "h" locus genotypes |

cap = patch = split cap |

varigated = variberk = American Berk ?? |

hooded |
|
"True" hoodeds are identified as hh,
and their Berkshires (the classic or English) Hh |
|
|
|
| berkshire |
variegated |
self |
|
Other loci are likely involved, especially in
breaking up head coloration (patch v. cap, for example) |

| Notes: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| H' and h' are
not true designations for these alleles, just ones I use for convenience. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Other
markings with "fancy names" such as "masked" and
"badger" are simply other versions of these markings (just as
variberk is a mismarked AmBerk) |
|
| The dominant
marking genes "S" and other alleles causing roan, banded, collar
etc., as far as I know, are not present in my lines (avoided due to ties to
megacolon). |
| Downunder
genes do not exist in my region, and I do not know how they work. |
