I have had ones with UTI hold because it hurts then let the flood gate open. I agree that only 3 times in a month makes a UTI not that likely... but there other things could be going on. Hopefully you figure it out soon.
Coat Color Inheritance in basenji
-
What does Fula mean? And what is the difference between fula black and the regular black basenjis you see?
I heard black was a dominant gene along with brindle. is this not true? Because I thought red was most common (dominant) then i wasnt sure really what after that.
Can anyone explain in depth how genes are in basenjis and what creates certain colors and also what color, of all them available, is most dominant to least dominant. Thank you so much!
-
In dogs there are two types of black. Dominant black, the most common black in basenjis, and recessive black, this black has not been proven to exist but is suspected to be in the basenji gene pool. Dominant black is inherited at the K locus along with brindle, the third gene at this locus is for neither black nor brindle so that the A locus becomes primarily responsible for the color seen. At the A locus there is red, tri, and recessive black. There also seems to be modifiers that act on the tri gene to produce tris with caps, tris with saddles, and tris with no pips. The term "fula" black is used to describe a dog that appears black and white at birth with no black parent. Some of these dogs develop tan as they age and are really tris without pips and some stay black and may be recessive blacks. These dogs come from lines that produce barred or "fula" tris.

ok. Im not really getting the A or K thing but I get the black and the fula thing. That makes alot of sense. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me
i was very curious -
There is not just one gene location that controls color there a many locations that control different aspects of color. The different locations have have been assigned letter designations to make talking about them easier. K is the letter for the location of the black, brindle, and neither alleles. A is the letter for the location of the Agouti (wolf color), sable (basenji red), tri, and recessive black alleles. D is the letter for the location of the dilution, not dilute alleles. E is the letter for the location for the masking, normal black extension, no black extension alleles. There are many others for things like ticking, graying, etc.
-
o ok. So how do you go about using the letters? like what do you do with them to help you relate to basenjis?

This website give a pretty good overview of Canine Coat Color Genetics with pictures.

Ivos you will reply soon.I know how to inherit the colors.

As I've said before, Fula black is a misnomer. There were no blacks in Fula's line the correct term is 'Fula Tri'. From Fula's descendants tri-colours were born without melon pips and that is the correct definition of a Fula Tri. This is not my opinion for the term was invented by Veronica Tudor Williams. It is used differently I've discovered in the USA to describe the recessive black.
I always look on Ivoss as our expert on inheritance and genetics!

I have heard from people that met some "fula blacks" descended down from Fula that apparently did not bleed tan in their coats and did indeed appear to be black and white. Those same people said that the same lines would also produce the pipless tris with the tan britches and on the backs of the ears. This is probably why in the US "fula tri" refers to barred tris with pips that seem to be producers of "fula blacks" which range from pipless tris with various amounts of tan to what appear to be recessive blacks.
There is now a test for recessive black so perhaps sometime in the future we will be able to better sort out what exactly we have genetically in basenjis and perhaps come up with some more clear terminology.
-
Ivoss - interesting about the people who did know of Fula 'whatevers' that didn't have tan - I'd be interested if you have any other information on their breeding.
When I get round to posting pictures I'll post one of my 'Fula' who people insisted was a black and white although I knew he had none in his background. You may be interested,
It's good to know that there is now a test for recessive black. My 'The Inheritance of Coat Colour in Dogs' by Little is obviously now well outdated.

Hello!
Once upon a time I was not.But I know how to inherit the color. -

ok so i have a question. How do you figure out what your dog is? Everyone says my dog is …etc. mine is.... etc. but how do you know? How do you figure it out? I really want to try to figure out mine but i have no idea how to do it!
this is very interesting to me, thanks for sharing -
the only way to figure out if you've got any recessives or not is to go back and forth all throughout the pedigree and see what colors show up.
-
o ok. So if i go through and count all the reds, blacks, tris, trindles, brindles, and IF there is a fula, then I post that, is there a way someone could help me figure out what she is? This is the only thing that makes me not really understand this.

This is very simple
Enter your dog's pedigree , with which pedigree you want to connect. -
ok. So this is what i have found out by looking back at the pedigree of my girl.
MOTHERS SIDE starting with mothers color:
RD&WH (d)
BLK&WH(s) and RD&WH(d)
TRI (s), BLK&WH (d). and RD&WH(s),RD&WH(d)
RD&WH(s), TRI(d), RD&WH(s), BLK&WH(d)
and RD&WH(s), RD&WH(d),BRDL&WH(s), TRI(d)FATHERS SIDE starting with the color of the father:
BLK&WH (s)
RD&WH(s),*BLK&WH(d)
TRI(s),RD&WH(d) and ~BRDL&WH(s),~BLK&WH(d)
TRI(s),RD&WH(d),RD&WH(s), unknown(d)
and TRI(s), BRDL&WH(d), BLK&WH(s), unknown (d)- this dog has a black saddle
~ This dog has a black mask
(d) this is the mother (dam)
(s) this is the father (sire)
Ok. So I was just wondering what her coloring would be? How would you put her into that strange code lol. Just curious. Thanks.
t would be interesting to know. - this dog has a black saddle
-
I understand little English.Enter pedigree dog it will be easier for me
-
the pedigree of her mom and dad are not on there. I have the pedigree in paper form but its not on the Zande site. How do you put them on there? Im not sure how you go about doing that.

t would be interesting to know.I don't really understand your question…but using your coding...how could a black/white dog have a black mask or black saddle?
As far as whether a dog carries "fula" genes or "recessive black" genes or whatever you want to call them, you can only know by what they produce (or if it is apparent)...my understanding is that if you have them genetically tested they show as genetically tricolored. Hopefully Lisa will jump in, because she has a bunch of knowledge about this topic.
