Probably gonna get my butt jumped on after my last post but need info.

If a female is from a coated sire and a stock-coated female and is stock-coated herself.

What would be the probability of a litter of six pups being stock or long coated if the Sire of the litter is stock-coat (both top and bottom)?

I know some of you have extensive knowledge of genetics, thanks in advance.

The sire of the litter may or may not carry the longhair gene, even if stock-coated himself, and from two stock-coated parents. The dam definitelly carries the longhair gene.

So, if the sire does carry the longhair gene, statistically, 1/4 pups in this litter are longcoated (but can be any number, really).

If the sire does not carry the longhair gene, then all puppies are stock-coated, with statistically 1/2 of them being the carriers of the longhair gene (from their mother).

KVL,

Thank you for your answer.

I think I may not have been clear with my question or may not have understood your answer.

So I'd like ask it again. Now that I more rested :)

1. A female (Stock-coated), Her sire (Long-coated), Her Dam (Stock-coated).

2 If the above female is bred to male that is stock coated what is probability of different coats in a given litter.

I do understand it is just a estimation but it will help me.

Thanks Greatly.

It is my understanding that in order to produce coated pups, both parents must carry the long coat gene, so if your female is bred to a male that does not carry the LC gene, she will have 100% stock coated pups. If your female is bred to a SC male that is a LC carrier, she will likely have some coated pups. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi,
Even if both immediate parents are SC still there is a possibility to get a pup or two as LC. Reason is simply as genetics do not close on immediate parents.
God Bless,

you are right , both parents must carry the coated gene, to get coated pups, even if they are stock coat parents.

if you know of the sire has produces coated pups, then if you dont get any coated pups from him , then you know your female does not carry the coated gene. or the other way around..

Isn't there a way to test to see if a dog is a carrier of the LC gene? I seem to rmember something about that.

Thanks for the help.

I got back with the breeder of the female I'm looking at and according to the breeder she must not carry the Long Coat gene although one parent was a LC. As she was bred to a LC and she produced no LC's in 2 separate litters.

Thanks for your help. This makes this forum truly educational and useful.
