Cream is located on the E locus.
Em is black mask
E is dominant black
e is cream – needs 2 copies to express
Both Em and E are dominant and only need one copy to express.
The “e” allele is recessive (e/e), meaning that a dog must have two copies of the MC1R mutation to express the yellow or red coat color. Recessive “e/e” can mask other color variants including merle as mentioned in the Merle Blog.
Cream may shine through on the undercoat.
