Coat Genetics
First, this is a fun exercise and shouldn't be taken
seriously.
I do not spend money on DNA tests for cosmetic characteristics
like coat color or coat length. Coat length is a cosmetic characteristic
in the Lower 48, if not in the frozen North. Another reason I don't spend
the money, is because you can look at the puppies and usually TELL if they are
Normal (LL) or Long-coat (ll) or Normal & a Long-coat carrier (Ll).
You can TELL what color they are. It's fun genetics, because if you're
wrong, it's no big deal... but you can learn a lot by playing the coat color and
coat length guessing game...

Genetic Coat Colors
Coat lengths:
 | Normal (LL) coats stand off from the body, are stiff, harsh, and
don't always carry a lot of leg coat or really plush tails. They are very
utilitarian, weatherproof, shed out nicely and are usually a breeze to keep
clean because of the harshness of the coat and the natural oils in the coat.
|
| Normal & Long-coat carrier (Ll) coats stand off from
the body, are stiff, harsh but generally WITH a little extra leg coat, a
little extra ruff, a little extra plume in the tails. They are NOT
long, but they are big, showy harsh coats. And this is the coat I
prefer and strive for. Most Wayeh dogs have Normal & Long-coat
carriers.
|
| Long-coats (ll) on adults do not stand off from the body,
the hair is so long it drapes. It can be either soft or harsh, but
generally soft. Both soft and harsh Long-coats can also require more work
than the harsh ones because they tangle more. |
This gets a little complicated because a normal coat can have
length modifiers that make the coat Normal but short, Normal but medium or
Normal but long (Normal but long is not a Long-coat). A Long-coat can
have length modifiers that make the coat Long-coat but short, Long-coat
but medium length or Long-coat but really long -- we call those YAKs.

Luna (Amak's sister)
Normal coat, no LC gene (LL)
(no leg coat, tight-fitting coat) |
Sunny (Amak's sister)
Normal coat, LC carrier (Ll)
(plumy tail, xtra leg coat) |
Sonny Boy (Sunny's son)
Long-coat, medium length (ll)
(Xtra everything) |
And of course it doesn't MATTER if a dog is a LC carrier unless you are
breeding her... <G>
