What if you mate a albino Doberman with black and tan?

When mating an albino Doberman with a black and tan Doberman, the resulting puppies can have various coat color possibilities depending on the underlying genetics. Albino Dobermans carry the "c" (albino) gene, while black and tan Dobermans carry the "B" (black) and "e" (tan) genes. Here's a breakdown of the potential outcomes:

1. Black and Tan: If the black and tan Doberman carries only one copy of the "B" (black) gene and one copy of the "e" (tan) gene (i.e., genotype: Bb Ee), and the albino Doberman carries two copies of the "c" (albino) gene (genotype: cc ee), then all of the puppies will be black and tan. This is because the "B" and "e" genes are dominant over the "c" gene.

2. Chocolate and Tan: If the black and tan Doberman is homozygous for the "B" (black) gene (genotype: BB Ee) and the albino Doberman carries two copies of the "c" (albino) gene (genotype: cc ee), then some of the puppies may be chocolate and tan. Chocolate is a recessive color in Dobermans and is expressed when two copies of the "b" (chocolate) gene are present. In this case, the "c" gene masks the expression of the "B" gene, resulting in a chocolate coat.

3. Blue and Tan: If the black and tan Doberman carries the "dd" (dilute) gene, which dilutes the black coat to blue, and the albino Doberman carries two copies of the "c" (albino) gene, then some of the puppies may be blue and tan. Blue is a recessive color in Dobermans and requires two copies of the "d" gene to be expressed.

4. Albino: If the black and tan Doberman carries one copy of the "c" (albino) gene (i.e., genotype: Cc Ee), then there is a chance that some of the puppies may be albino. Albino is a recessive condition, meaning that two copies of the "c" gene are required for it to be expressed.

5. Brindle: If either the black and tan or albino Doberman carries the "Br" (brindle) gene, then some of the puppies may be brindle. Brindle is a dominant coat pattern that can modify the expression of other coat colors.

It's important to note that the actual coat colors and patterns of the puppies will depend on the specific combination of genes inherited from both parents.
