ASF colour guide

[Rhasputin]

I think I posted this a long long time ago...

But this is a guide to all the ASF colours. You'll have to forgive me, I think I've just about forgotten all of the genetic codes, but feel free to ask and I'll try my best to explain how to create the colour combinations. (Scratch that, I found the chart i made a long time ago, on the internet, so I posted them! But still feel free to ask about the science of it all)
Also, I always feel it's necessary to explain that there are no ALBINO ASFs. All white ASFs with pink eyes are either pink eyed white, or ruby eyed white. The gene for albino is a recessive c/c and is a white 'cover' that covers up all the colours on the animal. The genes that make white ASFs, are variegation genes, that when bred selectively, cover up the spots on the animal pretty successfully, but it doesn't always breed true.

Agouti - A-


Cinnamon A- bb


Argente A- B- pp


Cinnamon-Argente A- bb pp (including a picture of argente and cinnamon argente next to one another)



Head-spot variegation -- -- -- -- Ww


Saddle variegation -- -- -- -- WW


Platinum A- B- P- "Ru"- W*W*


Black Eyed White A- bb P- "Ru"- W*W*


Pink Eyed White A- B- pp "Ru"- W*W* (this one still has one small spot, but it's the best photo I have! )



Ruby Eyed White A- B- P- "ru""ru" W*W* (flash makes them look rather pink)
