Hello! I'm Rei and have had a particular interest in genetics for a long time, but am not a specifically trained professional! The guides listed are what I have been able to find in public documents and properly sourced resources on cats/dogs and urge you to look into recent documented research for yourself!
These guides are completely free to use, may be linked to in groups or on/off CS, or used for personal use! However, I ask you to not post them elsewhere, credit or not, and just to link back to here or the pinterest posts I have made.
If you'd like to see a guide that is not listed here as complete or as a future guide, please do suggest here and I'll see what I can do! Interested in seeing any OTHER guides after both cats and dogs are up to date? Feel free to suggest here!
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
If you'd like to ask genetic questions or are interested in knowing genetic combinations please feel free to post on my genetics discussion thread ! And if you have any new research papers or reputable sources for information please do share there as well! Remember to read through your resources to keep them as CS friendly as possible with the correct information <3
Remember that while Superfecundation (a litter having multiple fathers) is possible, it is not as likely to be true and near impossible to tell without genetic testing in feral populations. A litter could just as easily have two parents with just unknown but perfectly aligning recessives!

I will not be doing wild animals as they are only theoretical due to difficulty in being able to test. If you want to learn horse coats I 100% suggest adheline's free to use guides!
Many locus, genes, and combinations may become outdated over time but will be updated when I am informed of new information as many genes within Cat and Dog genetics are very under researched and may only have theoretical listings. Colors may not all be completely accurate, please use at your own discretion.
