color genetics

<span style="font-size:92">This would be a huge undertaking for the HTML artists for VP, but it is just a suggestion.<br><br>I'm not completely sure if this is already in motion,<br>But I think we should have genetics a part of VP.. like in colors and stuff.<br>Like, I just had a Cane Corso litter, and the dam was red fawn w/ mask,<br>And the sire was blue fawn. One of their offspring was <span style="font-weight:bold">tubby</span> (which I <br>have never heard of before, except for being an obesity gene in mice <br>[which I guess is a "grey" color]). In "formentino" (blue fawn) and<br> "fawn" (fawn with mask or without) the puppies are usually formentino or fawn.. <br>There can be a black puppy in a very rare case, but the offspring take<br> the parents' or grandparents' colors, and carry others.<br><br>I think we should add recessive colors and dominant colors to the game,<br>even though we can change the dog's colors--I guess that would defeat<br> the purpose. But we can work to attain dog colors that we want without <br>spending unnecessary money on it!<br><br>The only thing is, we would have to do a little research for the people<br> who would want it for their breed. For example:<br><br>I'll pick a popular dog breed.... <span style="font-weight:bold">Great Dane</span>:<br><br>>Fawn<</span><br><br><span style="font-size:84"><span style="font-style:italic">Fawns should have fawns and brindles, and only have <br>blacks in their pedigrees at a max of 4 generations.<br><br>Blacks that are used in these pedigrees may carry Fawn and/or Brindle <br>recessively. Therefore, when these Blacks are bred to Fawn or Brindle, <br>Fawn and/or Brindle may be produced in addition to Black.<br></span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:84">Fawn x Fawn = Fawn<br>Fawn x Brindle = Brindle and/or Fawn<br>Fawn x Black = Black and/or Fawn and/or Brindle</span><br><br><span style="font-size:92">>Blue<</span><br><span style="font-size:84"><span style="font-style:italic"><br>Pedigrees of Blues should have only Blue and Black for a minimum of<br> four generations. Blues should not have Fawn, Brindle, or Harlequin (or <br>any color from the Harlequin family) for a minimum of four generations.<br><br><br>Blues should be bred only to Blues or Blacks which have only Blue or <br>Black in their pedigrees.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:84">Blue x Blue = Blue<br>Blue x Black = Black and/or Blue</span><br><br><span style="font-size:134">et cetera!</span><br><br>What do you think?
