Dogs have a wide range of coat colors, patterns, textures and lengths. [1] Dog coat color is governed by how genes are passed from dogs to their puppies and how those genes are expressed in each dog.

Seasonal shedders shed most in spring and fall, following an increase or decrease in day length, and least in summer and winter, in response to constant day length.
This is why infant formula must be iron-enriched if breastfeeding is not possible. [2] Breast milk naturally contains lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein that allows better iron absorption and digestion. [10] Allowing the baby to absorb more iron leads to a better gut health for the baby. [citation needed]
Labrador Retrievers are a popular dog breed in many countries. There are three recognised colours, black, chocolate, and yellow, [1] that result from the interplay among genes that direct production and expression of two pigments, eumelanin (brown or black pigment) and pheomelanin (yellow to red pigment), in the fur and skin of the dog.

If two heterozygote merle dogs are mated, on the average, one-quarter of the puppies will be "double merles", which is the common term for dogs homozygous for the longest versions of the merle alleles, [12] and a high percentage of these double merle puppies could have eye defects or be deaf. Knowledgeable and responsible breeders who want to ...
