Clarification of a very common question! WHITE DOGS X ALBINO DOGS Do you know the difference? Many people have this doubt. The answer is that the white dogs have some sort of pigmentation (weak or strong) in your body, whether in the skin, fur, eyes, tongue, mucous ... Albinism is not a color classification but a genetic alteration. This genetic error (genotype) is responsible for the total lack of pigmentation (melanin), where the animal will present some characteristics (phenotype), the fully pink skin, the white and off-white eyes. But that does not mean that all animals with these characteristics (phenotype) have genetic (genotype) that ranks as albino. Scientifically this error is located in the C locus, and dogs this change has not been described. But there is a gene associated with locus C, which causes not fully retaining some white pigments quite weak. Example That is, albinism is a genetic error is expressed by the total absence of color in the animal. And yet lack a dog with this change. To date, there are no scientifically albino dogs! But the dogs even being classified as white require special care. Because they have little pigmentation of the skin and eyes protection of white dogs are much more sensitive, where these dogs may be sensitive to sunlight, getting red eyes and having production rheum or even may have skin cancer from exposure to sun. In addition to being much more subject to display contact allergies and other skin changes. Soon we will post the skin care! Questions? In ask!
