Now here’s some crazy genetics for you:
If you know genetics, maybe you will find this story amusing lol

I’ve had a few pups that have looked like this, (from two different mommas and sires) and I could not figure out what color they were. They looked like phantoms (at) at birth but then brown pigment would show all over their bodies and not just on their points like a phantom should.

They appear to be sable (which is the ay gene) but both sets of parents do not test out with the ay gene. One mom is a black poodle and the other is apricot. (They are mother and daughter). Sires also do not test for ay.
Even if it were the ay gene, ay is dominant so it should theoretically HAVE to express in a parent. So I gave up on that theory.
So I wondered if it may be brindle, which is non testable and would show back as kb on my color panels I use. Which is what I settled on for a while.
But KB or KBR have to have the a locus present to express anyway, so that really didn’t make any sense.

Theennn I had a thought. What if this is AW? AW is also not testable through my color panel. But AW is still dominant like ay so a parent has to be AW to produce AW puppies. But here’s the thing- KB doesn’t allow the a locus to express.
One of my mommas that produce this color is black but she is also kb so aw wouldn’t show in her coat. The other is apricot (ee) which will mask any other dark pigment from showing in her coat so aw wouldn’t express on HER either even if she was one.

Soooo one Gensol swab test later and the results are in… yes, this is an AW agouti 😂
Because of the other genes covering it from expressing in my mommas, I just never considered it would have been a chance 😵‍💫
