This genetic variant influences the integumentary system, which includes the skin and hair, by regulating the intensity of pheomelanin, the pigment responsible for red coloration. It causes the pigment to develop into a deep, dark red shade instead of a lighter yellow or gold. This is a completely natural, aesthetic variation that has no impact on the dog's physical health.
An owner will notice a deep red or chestnut-colored coat present from birth. This coloration is purely visual and does not cause any skin irritation, hair loss, or other physical symptoms.
No medical treatment or therapy is required, as this is a healthy and normal color variation. There are no associated veterinary costs, resulting in a lifetime treatment cost of 0 EUR.
