Description |
The gene responsible for curly coat has also been identified. Most breeds are fixed for either curly or not-curly, but in breeds where there is variation, dogs may now be tested to see if they carry zero, one or two copies of the curly or non-curly versions of the KRT71 gene. It is possible for a curly dog to carry the non-curly trait.
Please note that the c2 variant has been added to this panelat not additonal cost. The test now detects both C1 and C2. The C2 variant found in a number of breeds including: Curly Coated Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Lagotto Romagnolo, Spanish Water Dog, Bichon Frise and Irish Terrier

Trait of Inheritance |
The curly hair trait in dogs is inherited as an incomplete dominant trait . This means that:
- Dogs with two copies of the curly variant (C/C) will have curly coats.
- Dogs with one copy of the curly variant (N/C) will have wavy coats.
- Dogs with no copies of the curly variant (N/N) will have straight coats.
So, it’s not purely dominant or recessive but rather shows incomplete dominance.
- C1 Variant: This mutation is commonly found in breeds like Poodles and Bichon Frises. Dogs with one copy of this variant (N/C1) have wavy coats, while those with two copies (C1/C1) have curly coats.
- C2 Variant: This mutation is found in breeds such as Curly-Coated Retrievers and Lagotto Romagnolos. Similar to the C1 variant, dogs with one copy (N/C2) have wavy coats, and those with two copies (C2/C2) have curly coats2.
A dog with one copy of the C1 variant and one copy of the C2 variant in the gene is likely to have a curly coat. Both variants influence the curly hair trait, so having one copy of each (N/C1) and (N/C2) generally leads to a curly coat, much like having two copies of either variant (C1/C1 or C2/C2).
