Re: [AlpacaTalk] BEW?
Hey Brendyn,
I might be wrong on this, but I believe if the pattern is not present on the parent, it can not be passed on.? The way I understand it is that the white spot pattern is dominant, so if you have one gene, you have the pattern.? If you have two genes, then the animal is a blue eyed white.? The only time it is difficult to determine is if the animal is white already - in that case they may also have a white spot gene, but it is on top of white, so you can't see it.

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] BEW?
Hi, I'm really new to alpacas. I'm actually doing my research far
ahead of any purchases the soonest we would be buying is over a year
away. I've been trying to research everything and I'm still a little
confused on the BEW. I understand that crias out comes can't be
predicted but there are things you can do to keep your chances at a
low. So what I have heard is that if you breed an alpaca with white
extremities to anything but pure solid you have a higher chance of
cria becoming a BEW. What I'm wondering is say you have a sire with
pattern in his background but his of solid colour, does he also have a
higher chance of producing a BEW cria if bred to a pattern?
Thanks for any feedback
Brendyn
