If you have a black dog and want to find out if it is able to throw yellow you should order the ChromaGene "e" test. If you want to know if he can throw chocolate you should order the ChromaGene "b" test. If you think he may throw both colors it takes both tests to find out as each tests for the specific locus for that gene.
Just in case you think he might throw silver you can check to see by ordering the ChromaGene "d" test!
If you color test the dog DDC is cheaper than Vetgen and faster as well. 10 day max turnaround. First test is $58 and the second(on the same sample/dog) is $20. DDC is the largest DNA testing company in the world. Same link as above:vetdnacenter.com/canine-dna-coat-color.html I have used them several times with no issues. $10 discount to $48 base fee for 5 dogs or more.
Thanks for the info, but too late for me. I used Vet Gen. Kit came in 2 days from Michigan. I believe the E Locus test was $55. Ten was swabbed by Vet and it was sent this past Thursday. We shall see.
I wouldn't be bothered by a carrier.
But, now you know that he CAN'T throw an affected.;-)
