Coat color and pattern is a polygenic trait, meaning it is controlled by more than one gene or gene complex. A dog with the gene for black color expression may also have the gene for suppression of black and so have a red or yellow coat. Or a dog with the brindle gene may have one or more of the genes for large areas of white and so have little or no brindle coloring visible. A dog with the dominant black gene may have genes for color fading and appear gray or merle.Rate This Answer

No - some traits are polygenetic (such as for skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and will have multiple alleles.
Tell you about polygenic inheritance under genetics?
Multiple alleles are the presence of more than two alleles for a trait within a gene pool, while polygenetic traits are controlled by multiple genes.
