[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 841841, member: 2308"] The problem is that a BLACK, black animal can't carry the diluter gene, without it showing (grey). A red animal CAN carry the diluter gene, and you might only think that the animal is LIGHT red. Some LIGHT red animals will carry the diluter and some won't. Sometimes they aren't even that terribly light colored. There are several different genes at work, one that makes them a black or red based animal. One that dilutes the base color to tan or grey, and one(or several) that influence exactly what shade of red, black, tan or grey they are. Red can be mahogany down to almost tan for example, or Grey can be from Charcoal down to the lightest ash grey, almost white. MF, an animal can be homozygous black and also carry the diluter gene. They are 2 separate genes. A grey animal can be homo black, and can be either homo or hetero diluter too. [/QUOTE]
