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: awat+ or awa+
K Locus: Kbx, kc, kvi
T Locus: Tr
Stained and bleached markings have a 2% chance of passing.
Raposa/tephra has a 15% chance of passing.
Note
White spotting varies greatly despite the genetics! it can appear in many variations.
Recessive Red will hide all other genetics except for urajiro, white spotting, ticking, and harlequin.
Eryth must be 'kyky' to show the A locus, if 'Kb_' it'll be similar to recessive red and be a solid C locus
Updates
Genetics updated as of 1/2/21:
Added extended argenti, minimal reverse point, revised chinchilla.
All collies prior to this date will not have their genotypes changed, collies and puppies from this date on will follow any modified genetics.
Genetics to update as of 3/14/21:
EmbEmg will be Glass and Bausant Masked.
EmcEmg will be Glass and Cervus Masked.
awat, awat+, awap will be Patterned Agouti.
awa will be Extreme Agouti.
All collies prior to this date will not have their genotypes changed, collies and puppies from this date on will follow any modified genetics.
Blixt
Blixt KbxKbx has a 50/50 possibility of showing blixt.'
A collie with KbxKbx hh and any merle combination other than 'mm' will be dominant black.
A collie with KbxKbx Hh/Hsh and any merle combination can be blixt.
