I completely forgot about Eva's page! She does have some great descriptions on her own findings regarding inheritance and colors.Originally Posted by littleindiangirl
As far as I know about ASF genetics, there are 2 main colors for agouti. Grey and Cinnamon. The only other major color described is the Fawn color (Red eyed dilute). This fawn color does change when either background color.
On Grey agouti, the fur is Fawn with a very grey undertone. When it's on a cinnamon Agouti background, the fur is Fawn from tip to shaft.
So far there hasn't been a non agouti color described.
As to the patterns, the piedbald is the dominant white heads and butts, and the head striping is either recessive to the piedbald or a simple recessive. If that makes sense.
I'd be intereseted with what colors you do actually end up with. So far what I described seems to be the most accepted and prominant colors.
I do suspect another color similar to cinnamon, but mine aren't grown up enough to see the difference.
