Confusing huh??

Blues are caused by specific genes too, their born blue color is a result of having 2 copies of the Dilution Allele - they would be "dd" in their makeup. This gene dilutes black skin and pigment to blue. This is another gene that can be coat color tested for at various DNA labs.

I'm not sure what causes the traditionals to turn white (or would that be what they call "running gold"?)
