In the selection of breeds, many dogs, such as Tibetan Mastiff, Beagle and Shiba Inu, have blue genes in their coat colors. Therefore, these breeds can mate with deer and dogs, increasing the possibility of breeding blue deer and dogs.
In terms of understanding the genes of deer and dog, the coat color genes of deer and dog are determined by two genes: black gene and reddish brown gene. The black gene is the dominant gene and will cover the reddish-brown gene. Therefore, if a dog has only one black gene, its appearance will be black. Only when dogs have two red-brown genes will they produce red hair. If a dog has a black gene and a reddish-brown gene, its coat color will be dark brown.
In the process of pairing, if you want to breed blue deer dogs, you need to pair two deer dogs with BbDd genotype. This pairing method can produce a blue deer dog with a 25% chance. However, it should be noted that if the background color of two deer dogs is red or yellow, then the blue deer dog may have health problems, such as deafness and epilepsy. Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of health problems, deer and dogs with black background should be selected as parents as far as possible, or paired with deer and dogs with other colors and BBDD genotypes. In addition, when matching, we should pay attention to the comprehensive consideration of the personality and body shape of deer and dogs to ensure that future generations not only have ideal appearance and color, but also have stable personality and good health.
Generally speaking, if you want to match a blue deer dog, you need to choose a suitable breed and understand the genes of the deer dog.
