Traits

This form of mutation occurs as a genetic split where one dog has multiple (primarily two) genotypes. This can present itself through sporadic patches resulting in even coverage or through a split almost down the center.

For dogs that are chimeric, they have a 25% chance of passing on the mutation (75% if both parents are chimeric). If a puppy is not chimeric, the chimeric parent is rolled 50/50 for which genotype to use.
