Traits
Jay D (Rare)
Jay is a mutation that affects the color hue of a 'Buck, changing the colors to a blue hue

Dilution is a genetic mutation that dilutes the pigment of a 'Bucks color palette
R= Recessive
D=Dominant
Base design without the mutation
R can be bred if one or more parents carry the R gene. R dilutes, also known as Dun, only dilutes the body.
D can be bred when one or more parents carry the D gene. D dilute affects the whole color palette, causing a dilution.
Dilute R (Rare)
Dilution is a genetic mutation that dilutes the pigment of a 'Bucks color palette
R= Recessive
D=Dominant
Base design without the mutation
R can be bred if one or more parents carry the R gene. R dilutes, also known as Dun, only dilutes the body.
D can be bred when one or more parents carry the D gene. D dilute affects the whole color palette, causing a dilution.
TOC R (Exclusive)
When Touched by the Corruption, Your buck will take on a new appearance
"Children born with TOC passed on will find it hard to refuse the influence of a Sentinel and will often find themselves doing anything they ask of them, even murder-this curse causes such trauma and turmoil for the child that is affected."
R = Recessive
D= Dominant
R is a recessive gene that is usually the cause of 1 parent having the genetic marker for TOC, but it can happen even if both parents are R or if one has D and R
D is a dominant gene that usually occurs when both parents carry the D dominant gene or when 1 parent carries the D and R gene
TOC will always be solid pitch black with vibrant purple outlined
