WhiteRump/Tail: These are produced with
the same gene. WhiteRump is the heterozygous expression, and homozygous
expression of the gene usually results in Whitetail, although it may still
produce only WhiteRump. Homozygous can also produce the 'lace' effect where
the 'diamonds' are spread out, producing the lace appearance. |

Cinnamon:
This gene produces Cinnamon, Red, and Ultimate Red. Selective breeding is required to refine
the trait into its various shades. |

Pied: This gene can occur in combination with any other trait, and
is quite variable. Selective breeding
can enhance its expression (i.e. how much white is present). |

| The purpose of this chart is to offer a few
different options to those wanting to know the genetic makeup of the
different Diamond Dove colors and traits. The left grid is simply a
representation of which genes are involved with each color or trait, the center
(Genotype) grid represents the written genotype and the right (Phenotype)
grid represents what may be thought of as a spoken phenotype (for example,
Ocher is actually Cinnamon Yellow) . Thank you to Jeff Downing and John Pire
for their input and suggestions, and Greg Sweet for his help with data input
and editing. |
|
|
Snow White: While this color is visually appealing, the
birds themselves are not as hardy, and have a very low mating drive, thus
making them difficult to perpetuate. |
|
|
|
** assume Blue is present but hidden by other gene(s) |
|
|
|
|
As of yet, there are no known
sex linked gene mutations of Diamond Doves |
