Supposedly straight hair is dominant to curly hair ... so theoretically if a pup receives a straight gene and a curly gene, the hair will be straight.
The R (curl) Locus[note 1]
The alleles at the R locus (the keratin-71 gene or KRT71) determine whether an animal's coat is straight or curly.[5] There are two known alleles that occur at the R locus:
R = Straight
r = Curly
R is dominant to r
