Hello
i am a hereford breeder… and I also breed sib. husky… the big problem is between the mice and dogs genetic….. is not the same bat it have a lot of similar alleles… The big problem is the Nomenclature! You find a lot variety for the dogs and a lot of gen aren't found in dog… but it exist! but not found now. So is not good to cross the information's of dog genetics and mice genetics… a example: the most black dog are Ky and not aa! So the black dogs are dominant black and not recessive black.
I have a lot of examples…but jack say correctly it's very heavy to discuss in other language about Genetics.
Back to Hereford… Hereford is a own gen. Allele is wn/wn…it means white nose….
so why it have Hereford with small or incorrectly Forms? Because you have a lot of other alleles how works co-dominant or intermediary white the wn/wn… for example te/te… it means light head (this gen make blezzed or head points/lines)
So the herefordbreeder must look that he isolate the wn/wn from the other gens… that is not so easy..because when you take a normal self mouse the have a lot of modification (TE/te. or Ss or..) so you must breed very carefully …. I think that is also the declared why the typ is so small and little. Because is not good for the Hereford to make a lot of Lines out cross…
I hope you understand what I want to tell you
regards tipex
