Ticking (*also known as Roan)

Ticking and Roan

Genetic Code = unknown

Any white areas on a dog, no matter how big or small, may be ticked or roaned due to the T gene. The ticking corresponds to the colour the area of the coat would have been if it wasn't white, which means that it can vary across the body. For example, a black dog with tan points will have black/grey ticking where it would have been black, and red/tan ticking where the points would have been.


Can be shown on Registrations as i.e. Black/Tan Piebald w/ticking
