There may be other genes that affect that color as well, and I think the chocolate is probably effected by the gene that has something to do with pigment because the dog's nose is also brown. |
Well stated.
Generally speaking, anyone is free to come on here and share what they know and opinions and theories, but other members are just as free to disagree with such statements. So IMO, if you are going to put something out there, in particular if it is sort of a 'hot topic' then be prepared to have responsed disputing what you are claiming. If there is one thing I have learned on YT it's that this is not a "shut up and listen to me and don't question me" type of place.
IF that is what someone expects to get, then they are bound to be disappointed. I have found that I learn the most about various issues when there are several, differing opinions and sets of facts being put out there for consideration.
