fensaluki 35 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 If they are true 1st cross saliki Greyhound mate you'll not get feathers. you are quite likley to get feathers on the next generation but not the first cross. Good luck with your new pup mate ATB Quote Link to post

Good luck with your new pup mate ATB correct smooth is allways the predominant geene in a first cross , second cross and after more likelly to get feathered ,,but you can still get split litters some smooth ,some feathered Hair type is an example of incomplete dominance if you get two allele mixed ie.smooth=SS and feathered =FF if you get SF you will get a mixture of the two like my saluki/greyhound is smooth but has some feathering on his tail my mates bitch has some feathering on her ears but is smooth coated both examples of both alleles contributing no one allele is dominant BOTH contribute if they are mixed. Its the same in humans with curly and straight hair if you get a mixture you get wavy hair otherwise everybody would have curly OR straight hair.An example of dominant alleles is tongue rolling if you have the allele you can roll your tongue if you dont you cant and you cant learn to do it Quote Link to post
