Genotype Format
A locus/B locus/C locus/D locus/E locus/H locus/I locus/K locus/M locus/S locus/T locus/U locus/L locus
Breeding Caps
Collies with at least one of the following alleles, regardless of expression, may have a max of two pups per litter.
A Locus: aw+ or a+, ab
K Locus: Kbx, kc, kvi
T Locus: Tr
Stained and bleached markings have a 15% chance of passing.
Raposa/tephra has a 15% chance of passing.
Blixt has a 50% chance of visibly passing if KbxKbx is rolled for.
Blixt
Blixt, KbxKbx, has a 50/50 possibility of showing blixt. Kbx_ collies will be dominant black.
Merle hides blixt - a collie with KbxKbx and any merle combination other than 'mm' will be dominant black
unless the harlequin gene is also present (Hh or Hsh).

Ay - sable
aw - agouti
at - tan point
as - saddle
a - recessive black
ap - alpine
at+ - reverse point
as+ - argenti

H Locus
HH - nonexistent, dies in the womb
Hh - harlequin, only shows with M locus
hh - non harlequin
HsHs/HsH - nonexistent, dies in the womb
Hsh - striped harlequin
I Locus
II - dark intensity
Ii - medium intensity
ii - low intensity
does not carry much weight in the overall genotype
K Locus
Kb - dominant black
kbr - brindle
ky - allows A locus to express
kg - glass brindle
kc - king brindle
kvi - viverrid
kckvi - marbled king
Kbx - blixt (becomes dominant black w/ merle unless harlequin is present)
M Locus
cryptic merle - without any visible merle patches, may have blue eyes
minimal merle - minimal amount of light base patches
merle - classic merle patterning
tweed - multiple shades of black/brown/gray patches
patchwork - tweed with white pigment deletion
herding harlequin - merle in a classic or patchwork pattern with more extensive white deletion
S Locus
SS - solid
S_ - minimal white
sisi - irish white
spsp - piebald
swsw - extreme white
sb - belted white
st - striped white
T Locus
TT - heavy ticking
Tt - ticking/light ticking
TrT - roan/ticked roan
TrTr - heavy roan
Trt - roan
T+T+ - peppered
T+T - pepper ticked
T+Tr - pepper roan
T+t - light peppered
tt - no ticking

U Locus
U - no urajiro
uu - urajiro
L Locus
LL, Ll, Llc - smooth coat
ll, llc, llw - rough coat
lclc, lclw - curly coat
Llw - furnished coat
lwlw - wire coat
Miscellaneous
stained+ - mutation causing white markings to become black.
bleached- - mutation causing white bleaching of affected markings. on white markings this presents as a ghost-like white outline or glow, and it will also cause bleaching of the head and shoulder areas when present on the A or E locus.
stained and bleached can be combined on the same locus to result in a charcoaled effect.

Miscellaneous Combinations/Modifiers Explained
Chinchilla and Pearl
➛ Chinchilla is visible when one of these genetic combinations occurs
(atat / atat+ / ata) EchEch kyky
➛ Reverse Chinchilla is visible when one of these genetic combinations occurs
(at+at+ / at+a) EchEch kyky
➛ Pearl is visible when one of these genetic combinations occurs
(atat / atat+ / ata) epheph kyky
➛ Reverse Pearl is visible when one of these genetic combinations occurs
(at+at+ / at+a) epheph kyky
➛ Mosaic Chinchilla coats occur when Ech and eph combine, and may be regular or reverse
depending on the A locus genes
(atat / atat+ / ata // at+at+ / at+a) Echeph kyky
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Raposa/Tephra
➛ Raposa and Tephra are caused by a modification to the agouti gene, denoted with a '+'.
Raposa is awaw+, Tephra is awa+
➛ Raposa and Tephra require both masking and A locus expression to be visible
➛ Both modifiers pass at a 15% rate to offspring, and may be carried if combination requirements
are not met (example awaw+ EE = agouti, carrying the raposa/tephra modifier)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Stained
➛ Stained causes a collie's white pigment to turn black, and is denoted by a '+' at the end of the H locus, S locus,
Emg on the E locus, or kg on the K locus
➛ Stained Harlequin is Hh+ or Hsh+, and requires a merle
➛ Stained Glass Mask is Emg+ ; stained will not affect any other E locus markings
➛ Stained Glass Brindle is kg+ ; stained will not affect any other K locus markings
➛ Stained White is any combination of S locus alleles with '+' at the end, such as sisi+ (Stained Irish White)
or stst+ (Stained Striped White). the Stained modifier '+' is not attached to any specific gene on the S locus,
and will affect any white markings a puppy has if it rolls to pass in a breeding
➛ Stained passes at a 15% rate to offspring, and may be carried if a collie does not have visible white markings
for it to modify (example SS+, Kbkg+)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Bleached
➛ Bleached causes a collie's pigment to be bleached to a white or light gray color, and is denoted by a '-' at the end of
the A, E, H, K, or S locus
➛ Intensity is determined by the artist, and may be minimal to extreme. When combined with stained
at the same locus, it bleaches the stained markings to a dusty charcoal
➛ When affecting white markings (at the H or S locus), it causes a ghost-like, faded glow around the edges of the markings
➛ Bleached passes at a 15% rate to offspring, and may be carried if a collie does not have visible markings
for it to modify (example EchEm-, SS-)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Seal and Ghost
➛ Seal and ghost markings are caused by a faulty Kb allele and result in a darker, partial expression of the collie's other markings.
This is due to the faulty Kb only partially inhibiting the production of red pigment
➛ Kbky + any A locus containing an Ay allele is seal, Kbky + any A locus not containing an Ay allele is ghost
➛ Seal/ghost brindles are also possible (Kbkbr, Kbkc, Kbkvi, Kbkg), but it is not compatible with marbled king
➛ Kbxky will not create a seal/ghost
➛ Seal and ghost is not guaranteed to pass to offspring, as the expression of these markings is dependent on
the functionality of the Kb allele, not its presence alone
