A locus/B locus/C locus/D locus/E locus/H locus/I locus/K locus/M locus/S locus/T locus/U locus


Modifiers unlisted in the loci
Seal, Albinism, Melanism, Pastel,
-Seal is a modifier of Dom. Black that's reminiscent of dun on equine species.
-Albinism lightens the coat to white and causes lack of pigment ( only expresses red/pink/blue/green) in the eyes. Red or pink is common, blue is uncommon and green is rare.
-Melanism causes a black coat, but unlike dom or recessive black it will not express white markings or merle even if present. Eyes will be navy or dark blue.
-Pastel is a modifier that acts like an independent modifier and lightens the base coat considerably.
- Faerie’s Touch is a Borzoi-Exclusive gene that changes the eye color to a range of pastel purple to deep violet. It is only considered Standard for Borzoi TWKs
