Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: silver spot vs white spot
Yes, they certainly do count as spots! As far as the "White Spot"
genetics go, and certainly do carry the risk of producing a BEW if
combined with the grey/merle gene from the other parent.
I wonder about pink spots on an otherwise black dental pad or gums,
if these count as white spots.
In my view, breeding White Spot to White Spot produces solid color os
some form of white spot (spot, pinto, what have you). It is the grey/
roan/merle gene that is the trouble-maker for BEW creation. Breed
your greys to solids or greys. The idea is that the merle/merle combo
is always fatal to the embryo and you'll just have a slipped
pregnancy in the first month or so. Otherwise you'll get a grey or
solid cria.
