Llama Color Clinics
The ABC's of Coat Color Phenotype and Inheritance.
Have you ever wondered why a cria's coat color appears so unlike it's parents, or is it?
Did you know............................
That genetic grays and genetic whites do not exist in llamas?
How about when it comes to actual colors? That there are only two genetic
base choices, black or red!
That every other phenotype we see of different color shades, intensities and
patterns are not caused by color genes at all, but by color modifying, dilution, pattern and marking genes.
That it is possible to plan color and patterns as a part of a breeding program!
That there is proof of color genetics in llamas, that the proof in the pigment?
These questions and many more have easy answers that you will learn about.
This is a easy to understand course on llama color phenotype, genetics and
inheritance which includes:
Teaching you how to properly identify Llama phenotype. The base colors.
How color modifying, dilution, pattern and marking genes express themselves.
Topics such as the complexities of pattern genetics, like the appaloosa,
the genetics that result in white and gray llamas and, color and pattern
inheritance.
Bring your clear photos of unusual and hard to identify colors. Photos
printed on overhead film encouraged, as some may be used for class
discussion.
