Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: silver spot vs white spot
My DRG Avatar son when bred to a light fawn produced a light fawn
with amazing fleece. Bred to my dominant TB, she aborted twins at 96
days. One was probably going to be grey, the other, black. I bred her
back Penumbra so Scirocco will have to wait another year for more crias.
Everything regarding the white/white spot/grey/BEW issue is theory.
Much of what that university professor states is his opinion and not
borne out by the numbers.
Maroon is certainly linked to grey. MAroons throw grey all the time,
we have a maroon girl on the farm who is the product of two silver
greys. My maroon sire is from a fawn and rose grey. Bred to thatr
maroon girl, they produced a TB cria with white fibers at the tip of
her tail and edges of her ears and chin.
In my opinion, going by my many years of art and design training,
maroon is a red base color covering black. Or is it black base color
with red covering? HOwever you want to look at it, it's all the same
to me.
I'm personally not afraid a bit of BEW. I acknowledge the risk of
deafness. Also, we had one here to breed to my maroon boy, and her
reproductive organs were very underdeveloped, and she was 3 years old
at the time. I can't say whether that is related to her being BEW.
But, BEW are grey factories, you get grey almost all the time from
breeding them to any solid color.
