This passage seems to list three alleles — agouti yellow, non-agouti, non-agouti-yellow — but it could be made clearer. — Tamfang ( talk) 05:01, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
The most recent source is from 2010 and in my opinion the article is written in a way that is not easily understandable. Does anyone think that this page should be updated with more current information and have parts reworded in order to make it more readable? Holdenhansli ( talk) 14:47, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
