Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: spots

I have to disagree on that. Usually when you breed a white spot or
pinto to another, you get a solid color! That's what the pinto
afficionados say, anyway! The problem in my opinion, is when you breed
a grey to a white post or white. Then you have a 25% chance of getting
a BEW.

I don't always agree with the self proclaimed experts on the color
genetics. Like, I don't believe that black is recessive. I don't
believe that white is dominant. I have a black girl who throws nothing
but black, even bred to only whites and fawns, and always a different
sire. I regularly see white crias coming from two colored animals with
no white spots. We've had it happen more than once. If white were
dominant, that would not be possible.

Just my opinion, and over 10 years of observation. :)
