How do Aussiedoodles Become Tricolor?
The typical tricolor pattern in Aussiedoodles includes a base color, usually black or brown, complemented by tan markings as well as white. These markings often appear on the chest, face, legs, and beneath the tail.
The tricolor coat coloration in Aussiedoodles is a result of a complex interplay of genetic factors. This distinct pattern typically involves a combination of black, white, and tan markings.
The black and white coloration primarily arises from the interaction of the B (black) and S (spotting) loci. The B locus determines the presence of black pigmentation, while the S locus influences the distribution and extent of white markings.
The tan or copper points, often seen around the eyebrows, cheeks, and legs, are controlled by the A (agouti) locus, specifically the at allele, which directs the production of phaeomelanin (red or yellow pigment) in certain areas of the coat.
Additionally, the Merle gene, inherited from the Australian Shepherd side, plays a critical role. This gene causes a dilution of the base color, leading to the mottled or marbled effect often seen in tricolor coats. It’s important to note that the Merle gene can also impact eye color and skin pigmentation.
The combination of these genetic elements results in the diverse and striking tricolor patterns unique to each Aussiedoodle, with variations in the distribution and intensity of each color.
