Coat colours of the Belgian Shepherd - book

Printed book, A5 format, 112 pages, preview

This book presents, in a simple and structured way, a study on coat colours and textures. It takes into

account recent results obtained by molecular genetics. There is also a chapter on matings between the

different varieties. Illustrated examples make it easier to understand. The standardised nomenclature

for coat colours in dogs is also included.

This in-depth study is preceded by a summary of the historical evolution of the Belgian Shepherd Dog

varieties since the foundation of the first club in 1891. The five periods in the history of the Belgian

Shepherd and the seven Breed Standards are reviewed. Putting history and coat colour genetics side by side makes for interesting food for thought.
