The Eighth Gene?
           There has been alot of discussion on the net lately       about breeding using the recessive beige.  This is the infomation I have found on the topic.
Sullivan/Reynolds beige (red eye beige) red to pink colored eyes, good beige color with short and not too dense fur.
Wellman Beige (Champagne beige) light beige veil and dark brwon under fur. Ears are pale, eyes brown or black. Long dense fur that is prone to oxidation, coats tend to vary alot.
Rzewski beige is much like Wellman with brown eyes - white belly.
Young Lavender Brown - A recessive brown which shows a lavender/gray to buff or lavender/gray/brown and very white belly.

Any more information that anyone finds, please email me.  I would like to know more about these genes.
