Blue saluki x greyhounds

[Sonny Brindle 2]

Just seen a litter advertised on another site. Supposedly saluki x greyhound. One pup is black and white, the rest are blue with white chests. Never seen blue saluki/greys before. Are there many about?

i always thought that for a gog to throw a bluem it had to have a reccessive blue gene on both the dam and sires side, and i've never seen a blue saluki - - i could be wrong though

Depends which way they throw,,saluki is a very stong pure dominante gene i think.

Blue is a dominant gene I think, so I cant see why not. Als the saluki used might not be 100% pure, if thats the case then def possible.

That's what I thought, although as Paid said the saluki may not be pure. If it's got a bit of grey in it already you'd have the gene on both sides. Still don't think a pure saluki x greyhound can be blue.

You do get silver in salukis, and that sort of grey isnt far of the blue.

 

This has some interesting reading

blue is a recessive of black caused by the lack of melanin pigment
