Fawn in dog breeds
The fawn coat color is found in many breeds, such as Boxers, Great Danes, and Pugs. Genetically, in most cases the color is due to the recessive ay gene at the Agouti locus.[2] Some breeds, such as Chows and Doberman Pinschers use the term "fawn" to describe a red dog (at the Eumelanin locus) that carries a copy of the dilution gene; in Dobermans this color is more commonly called "Isabella".
