This isn't mentioned anywhere, but agouti actually creates a sort of 'nose band' that goes down the snout. There are also small lines or triangles that run underneath the eyes. ;u; The current 'hairline' of melanin that you have is more resembling what sable does. This is an example of an agouti dog.
boopYou can read more on agouti
here.
Also, 'Wolf grey' isn't a phenotype. Grey is a color/gene(G or Gg). And agouti can be called 'wild type', which is what wolves and wild animals have. The phenotype for a grey wild type dog would be greyed black agouti.
And in order for this coat to be this grey(as phaemelanin isn't grey and can only be a very light creamish white), it would have to carry the graying gene(G) as well. Grey can affect phaemelanin in the same way that dilutions can affect it.
So the actual genotype for a Greyed black agouti dog would be: kk | BB | DD | awas | EE | GG | SS | tt | mm | XX | ZZ
I hope it's okay if I critique you! <3
I'm really loving your work. ;u;
Howdy!
