Pointer Phenotype Chart
This chart will give the CHANCES in PERCENTAGES of each color that CAN POSSIBLY occur from a particular mating (excluding tri-colors and solids).
Pointer Genotypes:
Black 1 BBEE carry no recessive type
Black 2 BbEE carry liver
Black 3 BBEe carry orange
Black 4 BbEe carry liver, orange and lemon
Liver 5 bbEE carry no recessive type
Liver 6 bbEe carry lemon
Orange 7 BBee carry no recessive type
Orange 8 Bbee carry lemon
Lemon 9 bbee carry no recessive type
Punnett Squares
Let's say you want to find the possible genotypes (the "genetic code") for a planned Pointer litter.
-The sire's phenotype is black (the actual coloration of the dog) and you know that his genotype is a Black 3, black carry orange (BBEe).
-The dam's phenotype is liver and you know that her genotype is a Liver 6, liver carry lemon (bbEe).
Here's an easy way to set up the Punnett Square to find the off springs' possible genotypes.
-First take the "B" part of each of the dogs' genotype.
-Put the stud dog's "B's" (BB) along the top of the graph.
-The dam's "B's" (bb) along the side.
This is how the square will look set up.
Then you take a "B" from the sire and match it with a "B" from the dam to fill in the graph.
Now do the same with the "E's".
The sire and the dam are both Ee.
