Hoss

Hoss is a champagne fawn XXL Bully. A champagne fawn XL Bully, also known as a champagne fawn XL Pit Bull, is produced through selective breeding that focuses on specific genetic traits influencing both coat color and size.​

Coat Color Genetics

The champagne fawn coloration results from the interaction of specific genes:​

Base Color: The fawn color is determined by the Agouti gene (A-Locus), specifically the ‘Ay’ allele, which is responsible for fawn or sable coloring.​

Dilution Gene: The D-Locus gene affects the intensity of the coat color. A pair of recessive ‘d’ alleles dilutes the fawn color to a lighter shade, known as champagne. ​

For a puppy to exhibit the champagne fawn coat, it must inherit the ‘Ay’ allele from both parents and two copies of the recessive ‘d’ allele.​

Breeding for XL Size

Achieving the XL (extra-large) size classification involves selecting breeding pairs that naturally possess larger frames and conform to the breed standards for height and weight. Consistent selection for these traits over successive generations increases the likelihood of producing XL-sized offspring.​

Combining the desired champagne fawn coloration with XL size requires careful selection of breeding pairs that carry both the specific color genes and the physical attributes associated with larger size.​

It’s important to note that while coat color and size are significant traits, responsible breeding should also prioritize the overall health, temperament, and conformation of the dogs to ensure well-rounded and healthy animals.
