Natural State

Regions

In order to express any of the other mutations, this gene for the natural state must be present. If none of the other genes are active this is what the Volbur looks like.

 

The natural state has 3 different color regions.

In order to have a Volbur labled as a "standard" or "natural" version, the black and white areas HAVE TO BE black and white.

The other region - in this case only red - can be of any color.

Genetics

The genetic alleles are labled as "NN".

If the natural state is completle gone, the Volbur turns into an Omitt.

Snowflake (nf)

N nf

natural spots.jpg

A special "mutation" in the fur that is caused by a different loci called "nf".

The "nf" in the allel adds white small spots to the fur. Even on the black back.

If it is just "Nn" no white fur is added.

How the "nf" works complete, will be discussed in the "Omitt".

Single Mutation Individuality

Single Mutations should only work as guides on how they can look like. They do not have to look exactly like the examples shown here. There is also an option to do it midway, where the mutation is not fully expressed. Genetically it looks like this.

Heterochromatic Eyes

Mutations that are not fully expressed can cause heterochroma. Which means they can have two different colored eyes or like in the picture two different colors in each eye. Here we have the Medium Proxy expressing the blue-green eyes of the proxy and around the iris it is slightly pink from the Natural State.

This can also happen with Double Mutations.

Double Mutations Individuality

Same for the Doubles. They are guides on how they can look like. Each individual can look slightly different even if they are fully doubles (ex.: BB XX).

If they are not fully doubles, their appearance can also slightly alter towards oen mutation.
