Dun

(DnDn/nDn) Dun

Similar to the markings found on horses, Dun manifests as a dark dorsal stripe along the spine of an algolope, and can have faint striping at the withers,  legs and face.

(nDn) Single Allele

With a single allele carrier Dun should have the dorsal stripe visible, striping on the legs and shoulder are optional.

(DnDn) Dominant
In dominant Dun, striping is almost always visible even slightly on the face, forehead, withers, and legs.  May have dark shading over the stripes.

Variation:

Dun can fade into the base coat on the legs, as well as at the ends of the stripes, the back stripe must be full opacity. 

• Dun can be above or below other markings but must be below all white markings and reversed white marks.

• Dun can optionally cover the fore legs with striping, or the legs can be colored via Pigeon freemark. 

• Dominant Dun can have extensive striping on the neck akin to a Quagga, but at minimum must have at least 2 stripes on the shoulder originating from the dun stripe.

• Dun should be darker than the area it sits on, and can have nuance gradients. 

• When paired with Tiger the stripes merge together and can cover more area, up to 80% of the body.
