Sand Dune
"dnsdns"
Sand Dune is the lightest shade of Dune available, and was officially classified as a color variety in 2013. Up until then, these shades were believed to have been just outlier versions of Light Dune. Sand Dune is the most recessive. Although it can get quite light in shade, normal Sand Dunes should never get as light as their double diluted counterparts. Sand Dune should never approach yellow shades and should stay in the brown-orange-red color spectrum. Sand Dune also cannot approach too close to gray, gray-lilac, or silver.

Incorrect Sand Dune Examples
Double Dilute + Sand Examples
The double dilute gene overlays a sheen of white over the coat and skin, diluting everything except the eyes; their eyes can be just as dark as a non-diluted dog!
Two copies of the double dilute gene nullifies the Lutino modifier and results in a red, pink, or lavender eyed albino with pink skin. While Lethal Whites can survive birth, they are often reabsorbed in the womb or stillborn. Lethal White puppies can be born deaf, blind, or be born with severe deformities such as small eyes or lacking eyes altogether, hairlessness, cleft palate, skin allergies, a predisposition to skin cancer, cataracts, and multiple congenial organ defects that result in a failure to thrive.
