| Coat Color and Pattern in English Shepherds Saddle pattern Saddle pattern is regulated by the agouti gene locus. It is unclear whether there is a discrete "saddle" allele at this locus, intermediate in dominance between sable and tanpoint, or whether the saddle pattern results from some other factor influencing the expression of the tanpoint pattern (so as to increase the size of tan areas). Saddle pattern typically develops over the first year of life. Foxhill Caledonia Quinn  |
