Shetland Sheep Color Genetics

Shetland Sheep Wool Colours | David Gifford Photography

Much information about patterns, colors, and markings in Shetland sheep remains yet to be discovered. But Shetland sheep breeders have made great strides in gaining information that can help us preserve the genetics that give us the celebrated Shetland patterns and colors.

Note: If you have no background in genetics, it would be a good idea to review the Color Genetics Terms and the Sheep Color Genetics Primer before continuing on this page. In basic Shetland (meaning most primitive breeds) color genetics, most wool color is determined by two pairs of genes: Agouti and Black/brown.

Shetland Sheep Society colours and markings. There are eleven main whole colours in Shetland sheep, with many shades and variants in between.

A Summary of Shetland Sheep Color Genetics Phillip Sponenberg, DVM, PhD Sheep color is complicated, and final color and pattern are the result of summing the changes over several different genetic addresses.

Wrong! There are thousands of years of breeding color out of sheep behind us, leaving only 'primitive' breeds like Shetland and Icelandic routinely expressing color in their wool. And research on sheep color genetics is slow because most ewes produce one or two lambs a year, not the several dozen kits a rabbit doe can produce. No wonder sheep color genetics are not well understood, especially.

Sheltie Coat Color Inheritance Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) puppies look like their parents, but not exactly. Sheltie puppies inherit characteristics from their parents. Individuals have an appearance (say a Sheltie with a Golden Sable coat). Individuals also have genes. Each Sheltie carries two copies of each gene, one from each parent.

Here's a quote that gives some idea of the scope of color genetics (about all domesticated animals, not just sheep): "Although to date more than 300 genetic loci and more than 150 coat-colour-associated genes have been discovered, which influence pigmentation in various ways, the genetic pathways influencing coat colouration are still only.
