Shedding (MC5R)

Description

As is the case with many traits, the degree of shedding is not strictly regulated by a single gene, but rather by a combination of genes functioning together. Further research has identified a link between shedding (SD locus) and furnishings or improper coats (F locus). Understanding the dog's furnishings and shedding variants helps determine the overall degree of shedding.
