What Is Litter Prediction?
If you are planning to breed a litter, but don't know what the puppies should look like...well...this is what litter prediction is. We will give you our idea of what the litter should be. We use a specific process to decide this. And it usually is based on the breed. We will give you a full analysis of your Sire and Dam's colors and percentages on what the pups should look like. Creativity on our analysis is up to you...we will never tell you where to put certain markings. The only marking that is constant is White Irish. But that's different.
What is Recessive and Dominant?
This refers to each specific gene. In Each Gene catagory there is a recessive and dominant gene. for instance your dog's gene profile could be short as in BB DD to long as in CC EE KK BB DD AtAt SS MM TT. Each catagory, or Locus as it's known as, Refers to a specific color, pattern or intensity. So each has a recessive or dominant trait. the reason their are two is because one is given by the mother, and one given by the father. If both Mother and Father have dominant genes that is what the puppy will have, same goes for the opposite...If both mother and father have recessive that is what they will get as well. But if the mother is dominant and the father is recessive then the puppy will end up with both. for example if both parents are dominant (i.e. CC and CC) then the puppy will be dominant in the locus (i.e. CC) If both parents are recessive (i.e. cc and cc) then the puppy will be recessive (i.e. cc). If the mother is Dominant and the father is recessive (i.e. CC and cc) then the puppy will have both sets(i.e. Cc) The dominant is what is visible on the dog while the recessive is what the dog carries which can then be passed on to future puppies.
This may be very confusing to try and understand but when you apply I'll make it as easy to understand as possible ;) I promise ^^.

What if I don't know my dog's genotype?
This is not a problem. It helps if I know exactly what the dogs carries but I can still give you an accurate prediction. The puppies will be predicted on what I can see(or info I am given)
Why does my litter not have what I want in it?
I can only offer you what is genetically possible for your dogs...I am not in any way, shape or form telling you what to make your litter look like. If there is a specific color you want your litter to have go ahead, it is your litter, It just may not be possible irl, but this is a game right? Do what makes you happy. I'm only giving you realistic possibilities.
What is Your Process?
We do our process for prediction with a special program that real life breeders use to predict a litter. we put in the information and wait to see what happens. Based on the results is what we send you. I know how to do this without this program as well but it's faster ;)
