The colors of Russian Toy terriers

The Russian Toy Terrier is a small decorative dog, the ancestor of which is the English toy. When choosing a four-legged friend, many people care not only about the character of the pet, but also about the color. The color of the coat carries a certain history of the genus and plays an important role. The color of the Russian toy is very diverse: from true black to white.

Historical background

In English, only one shade was considered true - black and tan. Brown color also took place, but in very rare cases, and was considered unreal. Only black-haired dogs were allowed to participate in exhibitions, but in the second half of the last century the ban on the participation of dogs with a different color was lifted. A variety of colors could be observed at contests and exhibitions.: red, brown. As a result, the color innovation was positively received by breeders and fans of this breed, breeds with new colors began to appear. Due to the confusing genetics responsible for color (and these are about 10 genes and yellow and black pigments), it became difficult to predict the color of the offspring, much attention was paid to the pedigree.

Sable color

This coat color is almost black at birth, after the expiration of time, the color acquires a red hue closer to the roots, at the ends it remains black, as at birth, the color. The red hue has a fairly wide range - from pale yellow to red-brick. By adulthood, the black color may disappear completely. There are cases in which black fur remains in the area of the ears or on the back.

Fawn color

The albinism gene responsible for the appearance of this color weakens the pigments in the dna of Toy terriers together and separately (both black and yellow). As a result, a separate color was formed - fawn. Its spectrum consists of a variety of shades: straw color from light yellow (red) to milky. This gene is not dominant, so offspring of this shade can be expected from both light-colored parents and standard-colored dogs with a hidden fawn gene.

Black color

A Russian Toy Terrier dog with black hair is not popular with breeders, although this color is not an indication for disqualification at competitions and exhibitions. However, black toys look very noble and graceful. If we consider this color from the point of view of genetics, it does not mean that this gene is dominant.

White color

Completely white color has historically been the main disadvantage of offspring, a dog with this color was excluded from candidates for breeding offspring. Also, this color is a reason for disqualification at all exhibitions and competitions. In general, the color of a dog does not affect its character in any way, and if you like a snow-white ball, feel free to take it into your caring hands!
