The text describes guard hair and undercoat roles for healthy thermoregulation, then connects coloring to melanin produced by melanocytes via melanogenesis. It details eumelanin and feomelanin granules, the influence of pigment quantity and arrangement, and how alleles, loci, and dominant/recessive relationships shape phenotypes. It also links color outcomes in the breed to genetic variants inherited from parents and environmental factors affecting expression.","Breed Colors of Cane Corso.  \nSince ancient times the dog has been man’s companion and assistant. Thanks to careful breeder selection over the years for certain traits, today we have a wide number of various breeds of dogs – from the faithful & brave watchdog to the adored in-house pet. In the process of breeding for certain traits man did not overlook breed colors. With the development of each breed a certain palette of colors was fixed for each one.  \nSelection by color can lead a breeder in different directions. In one case a certain color is simply his preference, in another – the colors connected with health problems are excluded from the breed, and in the third caseselectors get rid of the colors assuming a metization. As science evolved the biological basis for the appearance of this or that color in the specific phenotype as well as regularities of color inheritance; were all quite well studied.  \nHair structure.  \nThe attached image: Cross-section showing the structure of a guard hair – il disegno 001  \nBefore addressing the suject of color, it is necessary to understand, how the hair is structured and what is responsible for its coloring.  \nThe correct coat of the Cane Corso must have two types of hair – guard hair and undercoat. Each purebred Cane Corso should have undercoat. The Cane Corso is a rural guard dog who; around the clock and under all weather conditions, must be able to perform his job – to protect grazing cattle. The dog who that doesn’t have an undercoat, will not be able to keep himself warm in cold conditions and therefore won’t be able to carryout his job as he should.  \nCane Corso without undercoat must be recognized as dogs with a functional defect and are to be excluded from breeding. Lack of the undercoat in a Cane Corso puts into doubt about his lines and we can assume that among his relatives there are dogs of other breeds. For example, boxers, that have no undercoat at all.  \nBut let’s come back to the hair structure. The guard hair consists of a core and a cortical substance in which there are pigment granules, and it is  \ncovered with a thin cover – a cuticle. In the undercoat there is no core, and in its cortical layer there is not enough pigment which makes it look much paler. All dog colors are defined by the existence of the pigment – melanin. It is a product of the transformation of amino acid tyrosine. Melanin is formed in specialized cells – melanocytes. The process of melanin formation is called melanogenesis . Melanin is a polymer which, dependending on its chemical condition, is packed into granules of two types:  \n- Eumelanin – either oblong granules of black or roundish granules of brown, thus only one types of an eumelanin pigment can be present in the organism at once – either black, or brown.  \n-Feomelanin – roundish granules of yellow color.  \nThe color of a hair depends on the existence, quantity and the arrangement of pigmentary granules in it. This is in turn affacted by alleles a series of several genes which are responsible for the appearance in a phenotype of any particular color.  \nDNA-chromosomes-genes-alleles-loci  \nThe attached image: Homologous chromosomes, locus, alleles il disegno 002  \nAs we know, a structural and functional unit of heredity is a gene which represents a certain region of the DNA molecule and defines the possibility of the appearance of a specific elementary character or of one proteinaceous molecule. Each gene in the organism has its place – a certain chromosome region. This place is called as a locus.  \nGenes which are located in one locus of the homologous chromosomes and which define alternative options of the same character, are called allelic. In any population there can exist more than two alleles of one gene. This phenomenon carries the name a multiple allelism. But therefore in a specific organism at the same time there can be presented only two alleles of one gene in a number equal to the number of the homologous chromosomes received f","cbCaiiBZEtqHmq2R","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiBZEtqHmq2R","pdf",62543,2,1,16,"English","en",105,"# Breed Colors of Cane Corso\n## Hair structure and coat requirements\n## Pigment formation and melanogenesis\n## Genes, chromosomes, loci, and alleles\n## Melanin types and phenotype effects\n## Inheritance factors in Cane Corso","[{\"question\":\"Why is the undercoat important in Cane Corso?\",\"answer\":\"Cane Corso must have both guard hair and undercoat.
