White dogs are popular with many people. Pets of this color are rarely ignored by others. They attract to themselves enthusiastic views, especially if they look well-groomed and neat.

This phenotype is completely devoid of pigment and not only on the hair, but also on the skin, claws and even the iris. Albinos are usually born red-eyed. If we are talking about just white dogs, whose eyes are naturally dark in color, then they should not be called albinos.

The very first assumption about the origin of white dog color is that this one was due to the activity of the gene of extreme blotch. There is also a version that the described coat color is caused by the actions of the chinchilla gene, which helps to completely eliminate the yellow pigment on the hair, but does not affect the shade of the iris. As a result of exposure of this gene to the light, white puppies with dark eyes appear.

Pigments in the pigment granules are only black or yellow. The synthesis of the first pigment is prohibited by two genes - Ay and e. As a result of this process, the first steps to the appearance of the white color of the dog's hair occur. In order to accurately obtain this color, another important gene is needed that would destroy the yellow pigment. This gene is called cch. It is he who prevents the synthesis of yellow pigment.

The cch gene does not always destroy the yellow pigment effectively enough. Under its influence animals can have not only snow-white coloring.
