**)f=father, m=mother, s=sibling, m-m=grandmother, x2=double gene, ?=most propable colour gene, ms= mother's sibling
***) Brindle (kbr) is recessive to dominant black and these both are recessive to recessive yellow = golden (e +e), but dominant to black colouring without stripes (ky).
****)The greying, rufous and colour intensity factors are not included to the analysis. Toto's and Millie's daughter Loulou (Zarabis Najat) must have inherited her deep red colour (int + int) from her both parents
*****) There is evidence that the Agouti type aw is dominant to black & tan but recessive to red. The rather similar to the appearance, grizzle (EG ), is more typical with salukis, but also the agouti type should exist, as also saddle tan.
