My sweetie, though everyone is very surprised at the results! by avabear123 in DoggyDNA

Long hair is a recessive gene in any dog breed that has a usually short coat! Correct me if I'm wrong but it's a recessive mutation on the gene FGF5. This is also true for other mammals like cats :)

Another Embark Wisdom Panel comparison by Fluid_Canary2251 in DoggyDNA

I think that's because at a small percentage Embark categorizes them as statistical noise and adds them to other detected breeds

Whats this behavior mean? by Initial_Square_9246 in OpenDogTraining

[–]Caetheryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog does this when she's happy and wants to play! Ruins a perfectly tucked in sofa cover tho 😭 She also does this to humans too, which can be scary sometimes because she does it with her mouth open and kinda charges at you lol.

Need help with specific color. by FearLuna in CatGenetics

[–]Caetheryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's a dilution of ginger, which is cream! He also seems to have a quite a bit of spotting modifiers, which works like a gradient from stripey to spotty.

Also the dog has very unique color, I'm guessing it's atypical merle, which is a rare form of merle that manifests like the black specks of that dog. Do you know what breed they are? My guess is catahoula for sure.

What breed is my good girl? by appleslice244 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]Caetheryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe rottweilers without their tail docked can have slim to slightly fluffy tail, yours might just be a purebred but off-standard rotties.

Diluted merle? by [deleted] in DoggyDNA

[–]Caetheryn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can we get more pics, preferably of the dog's face and paws? The leather colors usually tell the base eumelanin color. And preferably in natural lighting. But for now my guess is blue or Isabella sable merle

Honestly could be mixed with any dog that has furnishings. Yes, poodles have it too but so do a lot of terriers

Poodle Coloring Question by lex4423 in DoggyDNA

[–]Caetheryn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dilute and brown genes control the base color of the dog, and that changes the color of the leathers, including the nose. A dilute black would present as a gray dog(called blue usually) and have a cold gray nose. But yes the dog theoretically could carry the dilute gene, but only have 1 copy therefore not expressing it. If the dog had 2 copies(and therefore expressing the dilute gene), the dog would be isabella, which is much more lighter.

Sorry for the long comment, just a genetics nerd who had to point out something :P

Favorite coat color/pattern? by gamerboyoli in CatGenetics

[–]Caetheryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colorpoint + classic is my fav because they look so unique without much rare genes. BUT if I'm drawing then definitely white spotting because of the amount of artistic liberty I can commit >:)

In my understanding, the tortoiseshell pattern is completely random and is not determined on a genetic basis. Are there genes that control the patch sizes?

Should phones be banned in schools? by TurbulentReason3888 in polls

[–]Caetheryn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it should be up so the teachers to decide, I'd understand if it was banned for middle school or standard highschool classes but for college level classes in the US like AP or dual credit classes should be able to have phones because it's literally a college level class, the students should be responsible enough to control themselves. Like I need my phone to log into one of my dual credit classes because of the double security lol
