The Origional Sable Breeders Association's Gene Chart HOMOZYGOUS WHITE: 2 dominant white genes HETEROZYGOUS WHITE: 1 dominant white gene 1 recessive colored gene Sable 2 resessive colored genes Two homozygous white Saanens bred together always produce white offspring that are homozygous ( no color gene) A homozygous white Saanen bred to a heterozygous white Saanen will produce all white Saanens, but about 50% will be heterozygous ( carry a color gene) A Homozygous white Saanen bred to a Sable will produce white offspring and carry the color gene. A heterozygous white Saanen bred to a heterozygous white Saanen will produce about 75% white offspring, with approximately 2/3 of these carrying the recessive color gene. Approximately 25% of the offspring will be Sables. A heterozygous white Saanen bred to a Sable will produce approximately 50% Sable offspring, and the remaining 50% will carry the recessive color gene Two Sable bred together will produce Sable offspring and will have 2 color genes.
