I have an Australian Shepherd, and I would like to see if he is Red-Factored, or will produced red offspring.  What should I test for?

In Australian Shepherds, the B-Locus determines if a black or blue dog will be able to produce red offspring. If the dog tests B/B, he does not have the red gene, and will never have red offspring. If the dog tests B/b, he does carry the red gene. Breeding to another carrier or to a red dog should produced red offspring. Dogs that are actually red will test b/b. If you wish to test your dog for the red gene, please mark the B-Locus box on your submission form. If you would like us to send you out any free submission kits, please click HERE.
